Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board is procuring works to refurbish the flat roof of the main building at its Oban Depot. The project will create a safe, compliant and durable open space for staff and visitors, extend the life of the asset and address defects that currently prevent its use. The scope includes removing existing parapet copes so known asbestos-containing materials can be safely removed, with an Asbestos Management Plan approved by the Board’s Principal Civil Engineer before work starts. The depot will remain operational during construction, and the Grade C listed building must be protected. Roof repair, maintenance and other specialist trade construction works are required at the Oban site in Scotland.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single requirement, with evaluation based on price per quality point, weighted at 100%. The estimated value is £300,000 excluding VAT, or £360,000 including VAT. The contract period is 30 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The buyer’s deadline for enquiries was 19 August 2026 at 14:00, and the deadline for electronic tender submissions was 26 August 2026 at 14:00. A mandatory site visit was planned for 4 August 2026. Bids may be submitted electronically through the Delta eSourcing system.

This opportunity suits roofing and specialist construction contractors able to manage a complex refurbishment in a live operational depot. Relevant capability includes flat-roof repair and maintenance, safe planning and removal of known asbestos-containing materials, and preparation of an Asbestos Management Plan for approval before starting. Suppliers should be able to coordinate restricted access for people, vehicles and plant, maintain operational continuity, and manage programme and cost risks arising from unforeseen conditions. Experience of working on Grade C listed or otherwise heritage-sensitive buildings is important, since construction methods and materials must protect the building’s integrity. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Refurbishment of NLB Oban Base Store Roof

Notice Description

A MANDATORY SITE VISIT IS PLANNED FOR 4 AUGUST 2026. PLEASE SEND A MESSAGE THROUGH DELTA eSOURCING MESSAGE CENTRE, OR EMAIL PROCUREMENT@NLB.ORG.UK, IF YOU WISH TO ATTEND. The business requirement is to refurbish the flat roof of the main building at NLB Oban Depot to provide a safe, compliant, and durable open space for staff and visitors. The works will extend the life of the asset, improve safety, and address deficiencies that prevent its current use. The scope includes the removal of existing parapet copes to enable the safe removal of known asbestos-containing materials. These works are critical to meeting statutory health and safety obligations and will require an Asbestos Management Plan (AMP) approved by the NLB Principal Civil Engineer prior to commencement. The project must be delivered while maintaining the depot as a live operational facility, protecting the integrity of the Grade C listed building, and achieving value for money. Key Challenges *Live Site Working: The depot will remain operational throughout the works, requiring careful coordination to avoid disruption to planned operations. *Listed Building Constraints: Heritage status limits permissible construction methods and materials, increasing the need for specialist contractor experience. *Asbestos Risk: Known asbestos presents significant health, safety, and commercial risk, necessitating specialist planning, sequencing, and cost allowances. *Access and Logistics: Restricted access for personnel, vehicles, and plant may impact programme and preliminaries. *Cost and Programme Certainty: The combination of asbestos removal, heritage considerations, and live-site constraints increases the potential for unforeseen risks.
