Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council is procuring inspection, testing, certification, reporting, servicing and maintenance of medical baths and lifting equipment at its properties in Dundee. The equipment includes electrically and manually operated baths and lifting equipment, together with associated components. The work includes annual thorough inspections and LOLER examinations, routine servicing, and minor or urgent repairs, including repairs that arise unexpectedly. The requirement is for repair and maintenance services for medical equipment (CPV 50421000). The contractor must carry out the work in accordance with applicable British and European standards and statutory requirements. The contract also includes community benefits and subcontracting provisions. Two community benefits are required over the contract term; their type is described in the tender documents.

Dundee City Council invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 12:00 noon, following extensions to allow time for clarification responses and an update to the pricing schedule. The tender opening was set for the same time. The initial contract period is three years, with two possible extensions of two years each, giving a maximum stated term of seven years if both are used. No contract value is stated. Evaluation combines price, weighted at 40%, with quality criteria. These include staffing, development, customer care, documentation and timescales, disruption, emergency call-outs, programme of works, Fair Work First and community benefits. Several compliance and management checks are pass/fail, covering the specification, health and safety, risk management, site-specific method statements, resourcing, environment and fair tax.

This opportunity suits a supplier with direct experience maintaining medical baths and lifting equipment, including both electrically and manually operated equipment. The contractor needs the technical capacity to inspect, test and certify equipment, carry out LOLER examinations and planned servicing, and respond to urgent repairs with suitable staffing and emergency call-out arrangements. Membership of the British Healthcare Trade Association, or an equivalent body approved by Dundee City Council, is required. Bidders must demonstrate sound financial standing: the stated Equifax score threshold is 35, with alternative evidence routes for qualifying businesses without a score or with a short trading history. The council may assess consortium members and relevant subcontractors. Staff names and qualifications are required, and proposals should address safe working, risk management, reducing disruption, customer care, documentation, environmental matters and community benefits.
