Summary of the contracting process

Glen Oaks Housing Association procured a cleaning and roof-maintenance service for occupied properties in Arden, Darnley and North Pollok, Glasgow, covering postcodes G46 and G53. The requirement covers reactive and planned gutter cleaning, roof-anchor certification, visual reporting on roof condition and provisional repairs to main roofs and low-level porch or canopy roofs. The work applies across the properties listed in the contract area schedule and involves services delivered at various addresses rather than at a single site. The procurement is categorised as cleaning services, including building-cleaning services. Glen Oaks Housing Association is the buyer and a central purchasing body. The requirement was arranged as one lot, covering the full described service rather than separate geographic or service packages.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Glen Oaks Housing Association used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 18 June 2026 at 12:00, with evaluation and bid opening starting at 14:00 that day. MCS Safety Systems Ltd was awarded the contract for £73,305, and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026. The service period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the employer retaining discretion to extend it annually through 31 March 2032. Evaluation weighted the Contractor Design Proposal quality score at 70% and price at 30%, with selection assessed on a pass-or-fail basis before quality and cost evaluation. Nine electronic bids were received. The single lot is recorded as cancelled despite the active award and contract.

This procurement shows demand from a housing association for a supplier able to combine routine and reactive gutter cleaning with roof-safety certification, roof-condition reporting and limited provisional repairs across a dispersed occupied housing estate. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate sound operational arrangements for responding to maintenance issues, inspecting roofs and documenting findings, while coordinating work safely around residents and occupied properties. The Contractor Design Proposal carried substantially more evaluation weight than price, so the buyer valued a clear, technically credible delivery approach alongside competitive costs. The nine bids were all recorded as SME bids, indicating that the requirement was accessible to smaller specialist firms. Relevant experience in housing maintenance, roof access and safety systems would strengthen a competitor’s position.
