Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council is actively progressing in the tender stage of its procurement process with a Single Supplier Framework for the retrofit of sprinklers and associated works. This opportunity falls under the 'sprinkler systems installation work' industry category and involves work to be conducted in high-rise properties across the North Lanarkshire Area, prominently including Avon and Clyde Towers in Motherwell. The process is governed by an open procurement method, with bids being accepted electronically via the Public Contracts Scotland portal, concluding on the 23rd of March 2026 at noon. Interested parties should consider the detailed community benefits policy outlined in the tender documentation as part of the requirements.

The framework contract offers lucrative opportunities for businesses specialised in construction work, fire-prevention installation, and asbestos removal services, aiming to expand their portfolio in retrofit projects. A suitable main contractor experienced in sprinkler systems and holding relevant certifications, such as UKAS Third Party Accredited Sprinkler Installer or BAFE Registration, stands a good chance of being successful. Furthermore, eligibility requirements also extend to those certified by organisations like NICEIC or SELECT for electrical installations. This framework promises considerable work given its provision for renewal, allowing suppliers to secure economic stability while contributing to community benefits in the area.
