Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council contracted refurbishment works at the Loch Centre in Tranent, East Lothian. The requirement is construction work for a leisure, sports, cultural or related building, covering the proposed refurbishment of the existing centre. The work is classified under CPV 45212000, with construction work as an additional classification. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is East Lothian. The contract also requires the service provider to engage with the council to deliver proportionate community benefits, including social, economic and environmental benefits, with the aim of supporting sustainability, achieving best value from public spending and benefiting the local community. This is a building refurbishment opportunity for contractors experienced in leisure or similar public-sector facilities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. Two bids were received, both submitted electronically, including one from an SME. Algo Design and Build was awarded the contract, which is active and was signed on 16 July 2026. The contract value is £5,427,155. The planned contract duration was 720 days. Evaluation placed 80% on price and 20% on quality: contractor experience accounted for 8%, while site manager experience and ability, sustainability, site-environment management and Fair Work First each accounted for 3%. The tender deadline and bid opening were amended to 30 March 2026 at 12:00, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days. Variants were not allowed, and staff names and qualifications were required.

This requirement favours a principal building contractor able to manage a substantial refurbishment of a public leisure facility, with demonstrable experience carrying out comparable construction work. Credible suppliers would need strong site management, including suitably qualified and experienced site managers, and the ability to control the site environment safely and effectively. The evaluation also shows that sustainability and Fair Work First were material quality considerations, so bidders would need practical environmental measures and evidence of fair employment practices. The council expected proportionate social, economic and environmental community benefits, making local engagement and a clear benefits plan relevant. Electronic tendering, contract administration and invoicing capability would support delivery. The competition also indicates that SMEs can participate, although the requirement attracted both SME and non-SME interest.
