Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council is seeking servicing, planned maintenance and repairs for swimming pool plant and associated water-treatment systems at its properties. The work covers planned inspections, servicing, testing and certification of pool equipment, as well as reactive and emergency repairs, to keep swimming and spa facilities safe and operating efficiently. This is a specialist pool plant maintenance service rather than general building maintenance. The contract is location-specific to the council’s properties in North Ayrshire, Scotland, and is not divided into lots. The successful supplier must work to the council’s specified contract terms, including the SBCC Measured Term Contract (MTC / Scot 2019), the council’s exit terms and its additional contract terms.

The council invited offers through an open tender procedure. The submission deadline was 27 November 2026 at 12:00 noon; the enquiry deadline is not stated in the supplied details. The estimated contract value is £400,000. The anticipated start date is 17 January 2027, for a three-year term, with an optional extension of up to 24 months at the council’s discretion, subject to satisfactory performance and funding. The procurement is not split into lots, and variant bids are not allowed. Offers are assessed on quality, weighted at 40%, and cost, weighted at 60%. Bidders must meet the suitability requirements and provide the information requested in the Single Procurement Document. The council may exclude bidders in circumstances covered by regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

This requirement suits firms with practical expertise in servicing and maintaining swimming pool plant and water-treatment systems, including planned inspections, equipment testing and certification, and the capacity to respond to urgent repairs. Suppliers need to demonstrate suitable quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements. Acceptable routes include relevant accredited third-party certification or documented management policies; health and safety evidence may also be shown through a qualifying construction scheme in SSIP membership. Bidders must be able to provide staff names and qualifications and meet the Single Procurement Document requirements. Community benefits are required on a voluntary basis in areas including employment, skills and employability, support for SMEs and third-sector organisations, education and local community priorities. The single, location-specific contract calls for delivery across the council’s swimming and spa facilities under its stated contract terms.
