Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "PKC12687 Domestic bathroom replacements" was initiated by Perth & Kinross Council, a regional authority located in Perth, UK, under the classification of bathrooms construction work within the 'works' category. The procurement followed a selective approach using a restricted procedure. The contract was awarded to QTS Contracts North Ltd on 29th June 2026 and involved the supply and installation of replacement bathrooms in 568 domestic properties across Perth & Kinross over two years. Despite an initial tender deadline set for 9th January 2026, it was extended to 14th January 2026 to accommodate additional changes. The project had a value estimate of approximately £1,976,685.55, and a provision for a 12-month extension was included in the procurement plan. The award emphasizes quality (60%) and price (40%) as evaluation criteria, reflecting a significant focus on performance standards and cost-efficiency.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in bathroom construction works, especially those familiar with large-scale residential projects and capable of meeting high-quality standards. Skills in handling electrical and plumbing work, demonstrated experience in managing projects involving occupied domestic properties, and robust quality and health safety certifications are crucial for competitiveness. The involvement of small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is particularly relevant, as evidenced by the awardee and the number of electronic bids received from SMEs. Vendors with capabilities in providing community benefits, reporting progress effectively, and having strong financial health metrics are well-positioned to leverage this tender for business growth.
