Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is inviting tenders for a framework agreement concerning the laying of flexible floor coverings across various locations in Fife. This procurement process falls under the tender stage, with submissions due electronically by the 16th of March 2026. The procurement targets the 'works' industry category and anticipates a four-year agreement from September 2026 to September 2028, with an optional two-year extension. The total value of the contract is estimated at £5.2 million. This opportunity employs a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure, aiming to appoint three contractors via this framework.

This tender presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in floor-covering installations, particularly those equipped to provide reactive maintenance services. Given the sizeable market value and long-term nature of the agreement, companies experienced in delivering quality flooring solutions can leverage this chance for substantial growth. The procurement process prioritises both quality and price, offering a balanced competition landscape. Businesses well-versed in subcontracting and community engagement practices are likely to thrive, as the framework incorporates clauses for subcontracting and community benefits delivery, which are integral to the successful tender submission.
