Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council appointed a sole contractor for maintenance and refurbishment works to its void properties, meaning homes that are empty between occupancies. The work covers refurbishment and housing construction, including electrical rewiring, kitchen and bathroom replacements, new boilers and complete heating systems. Delivery is across Renfrewshire, with the council based in Paisley. This is a measured-term works contract rather than a guaranteed volume of projects: the council may instruct work as required, but the arrangement does not guarantee continuity or a particular value of work. The requirement is therefore suited to a principal housing maintenance and refurbishment contractor able to manage varied building services and property-improvement packages through a single council relationship.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. Ten bids were received, all from SMEs, and the contract was awarded to City Gate Construction (Scotland) Limited. The active contract is valued at £15,000,000 and was signed on 14 July 2026. The planned contract period is 720 days, with an option for the council to extend it once by up to 12 months. Price accounted for 65% of evaluation, with quality covering delivery, value, zero defects, turnaround times, Fair Work First and community benefits. Bids were submitted in English in writing, with the tender deadline and bid opening on 27 April 2026. The successful supplier was required to provide staff names and qualifications, and variants were not allowed.

This award demonstrates substantial council demand for responsive void-property maintenance and refurbishment delivered through one principal contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to coordinate multiple trades, including electricians, plumbers, heating engineers, kitchen and bathroom installers, and general refurbishment teams. Strong performance controls would be important, particularly reliable turnaround, first-time quality and zero-defect delivery across changing property workloads. The evaluation also shows that a competitive offer would need to balance price with evidence of delivery quality, Fair Work First commitments and measurable community benefits. Suppliers should be able to identify appropriately qualified staff, manage measured-term instructions without guaranteed continuity, and operate electronic ordering, invoicing and payment processes. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale can be accessible to an appropriately resourced smaller business.
