Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured construction and refurbishment works at Stewarton Academy in Stewarton. The project covers a new extension containing technical workshops, design studios, science laboratories and a multipurpose hall. Alterations to the existing school provide links to the extension, toilets and changing rooms. Refurbishment includes the dining area, library, technical and science departments, and modern languages department, creating SLC classrooms, improved dining facilities and additional capacity for a growing school roll. The works also include a lift, additional parking and a new car park, together with external works supporting biodiversity objectives. This is an education-building construction project, classified under CPV 45214000.

The procurement is complete and an active contract has been awarded to Heron Bros. Ltd. under a restricted procedure. Five candidates were invited to the second stage and five bids were received, all submitted electronically. The tender deadline was 26 August 2025 at noon and was extended to 2 September 2025 at noon; invitations to the second stage were issued on 6 October 2025. The contract was awarded on 11 August 2026 and signed on 11 August 2026. Its value is £10,772,212.87, with a planned duration of 570 days. Evaluation was based on quality at 20% and price at 80%. Variants were not allowed. The contract uses electronic ordering and payment, with electronic invoicing permitted.

This award demonstrates demand from East Ayrshire Council for substantial education-sector construction combining new-build extension work, refurbishment and external infrastructure. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience delivering complex works in an operating school environment, coordinating alterations with new construction and maintaining safe, usable facilities throughout the project. Relevant capability includes education and public-building construction, building services coordination, mechanical and electrical installation, accessibility works, car parks and external landscaping or biodiversity measures. Specialist delivery would require access to appropriately certified subcontractors: NICEIC or SELECT electrical contractors, B&ES or CIPHE mechanical contractors, commercial Gas Safe installers, HSE-licensed asbestos removal contractors and MCS-certified solar photovoltaic installers. Strong financial standing, substantial insurance cover and the capacity to manage a large multi-disciplinary project would also be important.
