Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council is conducting a procurement process for a works contract titled "Mechanical Works, Replacements, Repairs, Service and Maintenance," aimed at undertaking heating repairs, installations, servicing, and maintenance across all non-housing properties within the council's jurisdiction. The procurement method is selective, using a restricted procedure. The tender period ended on 14 June 2017, and the awarded contract—valued at approximately £1,991,305—was signed on 2 August 2017. The works will encompass various facilities, including schools, care homes, and community centres in Livingston, Scotland.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in mechanical and maintenance works, particularly those experienced in heating system installations and repairs. Companies that focus on service provision for facilities management, and which possess the necessary certifications such as Gas Safe registration, are well-positioned to compete successfully. Moreover, the requirement that contractors maintain a workforce of qualified, directly employed staff rather than relying on subcontracting enhances the appeal for SMEs capable of delivering high-quality, in-house services.

Please note that 35- (minus) will not be considered as having met this criteria.

In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3 year period. It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 35) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
