Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council sought servicing of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) units installed in new-build and existing council housing throughout Fife. The requirement covered inspection and servicing of ventilation systems, with further detail intended to be based on the Council’s asset register. The work was a services contract managed by Fife Council, a local authority. Delivery was across Fife, including housing stock rather than a single named site. The requirement also encompassed managing defects and reactive repairs, tenant engagement and access arrangements, reporting, asset management and data. Electronic ordering, electronic payment and electronic invoicing were provided for. The contract allowed additional purchases in accordance with the applicable Scottish public procurement regulations.

The procurement used a single-lot open procedure and was structured as a framework agreement with one maximum participant. It was cancelled and the recorded outcome was discontinued; no successful supplier or awarded value is recorded. The planned tender submission deadline was 28 September 2026 at 12:00, with the award period and bid opening scheduled from 13:00 that day. The initial contract duration was 720 days, with an option for an extension of up to 24 months. Evaluation included price and quality criteria covering technical competence and methodology, health and safety, tenant engagement, reporting and asset data, defects and reactive repairs, community benefits, social value and Fair Work First. Variant bids were allowed and submissions were in English.

This requirement indicates demand from Fife Council for specialist MVHR servicing across a distributed housing portfolio, including planned maintenance, ventilation inspection, defect management and reactive repairs. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable technical competence, robust health and safety systems, and the operational capacity to coordinate access with tenants across housing stock. The stated requirements included ESC or CSCS cards, asbestos awareness, NECIEC or SELECT registration, BPEC training and a SEPA waste carriers licence or equivalent. Suppliers would also need suitable annual manpower and management capacity, quality assurance and safety monitoring arrangements, and reliable reporting, asset management and data processes. Experience delivering community benefits, Fair Work First commitments and effective tenant engagement would strengthen a competing service model.
