Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council issued a procurement process under the title "EDC/2025/4176 DAMP & MOULD SURVEY & MANAGEMENT," focusing on building surveying services within the industry category of services. The contract was intended to address issues related to damp, mould, condensation, and ventilation in domestic and commercial properties located in the region UKM81 in the United Kingdom. The procurement followed an open procedure with the main procurement method involving electronic submissions. Despite the tender being initially active with extensions granted for bidder submissions, it was eventually marked as cancelled on the 4th of November, 2025. Key tentative deadlines originally included the submission closing date of 20th August 2025 and the award decision planned for mid-August, allowing a substantial response period for interested parties. The procurement initiative highlighted extensive service requirements, including field surveys, detailed reporting, lab analyses, and the management of air quality equipment.

This tender offered significant opportunities for businesses specialising in environmental surveying, building consultancy, and air quality management. Organisations with expertise in conducting reactive surveys and moisture-related diagnostics could find growth potential in this sector, particularly if they possess relevant industry accreditations such as Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) or Federation of Damp Specialists. Furthermore, businesses committed to delivering community benefits, like developing local supply chains or conducting vocational training, would align well with the tender's emphasis on community engagement. Also, there were prospects for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and third-sector collaborations through potential subcontracting opportunities, fostering extended business networks. Businesses looking to expand services or reinforce local community ties, while addressing environmental health concerns, would have been ideally suited to compete for this now-discontinued opportunity.
