Summary of the contracting process

The Dumfries and Galloway Health Board is currently engaged in the procurement of a service contract for Lightning Protection Equipment Servicing and Maintenance across its properties. This initiative is categorised under health and safety services, and it feels significant given the emphasis on compliance with statutory legislation. Although the procurement process is in the awarding phase as of 4th February 2026, it initially commenced on 11th September 2025, with the tender submission closing on 16th October 2025. The location for these services is specifically within Dumfries & Galloway, designated as region UKM92 in the United Kingdom. The procurement method utilised is a selective or restricted procedure, indicative of a careful selection process for suitable providers.

This contract presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health and safety services to establish or expand partnerships with a body governed by public law. The work involves intricate service and maintenance tasks, calling for organisations with expertise in lightning protection systems. The criteria underscore the importance of quality and competitive pricing in bids, with respective allocations of 40% and 60% in the award decision. Businesses involved in health and safety, particularly those that are SMEs and meet specific qualifications — like membership in the Association of Technical Lightning & Access Specialists (ATLAS) — will find this tender especially conducive to growth. The ability to meet stringent professional requirements and quality benchmarks can position a business as a trusted partner for ongoing and future contracts with public health authorities.
