Summary of the contracting process

Linstone Housing procured gutter cleaning services for its housing stock across Linwood, Johnstone, Paisley, Renfrew, Kilbarchan and Bridge of Weir in Renfrewshire. The work was set up as a measured-term service contract, with cleaning delivered across the named communities rather than at a single site. The buyer is a registered social landlord based in Linwood. The scope is gutter cleaning; the procurement does not describe wider property maintenance or building works. The requirement was grouped as one lot, covering the service throughout the stated area. Suppliers specialising in gutter cleaning for housing providers are the closest fit, particularly those able to organise work across several towns and communities and manage a continuing programme of service delivery.

The procurement is complete and a supplier was selected through an open procedure. Paterson Safety Anchors Ltd won the single lot; its contract is active. The contract was signed on 19 October 2026, and the recorded contract value is £61,616.17. The estimated lot value was £252,000, with an anticipated annual cost of £63,000 excluding VAT. The planned contract period was four years (1,440 days), intended to commence by December 2023. The tender deadline was 20 October 2023. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Four bids were received, all from SMEs. The contract allows electronic payment and ordering, and supplier performance is monitored against key performance indicators, with remedial plans required if performance falls below the acceptable level.

This award shows a recurring requirement for gutter cleaning across Linstone Housing’s properties in six Renfrewshire communities. A credible competitor would need relevant experience delivering this type of service, supported by two comparable contract examples, and access to the tools, plant and technical equipment needed to carry out the work. The buyer also sought evidence of workforce capacity, including average annual manpower and management staffing over the preceding three years, and required staff names and qualifications. Suppliers need to be able to meet the stated turnover threshold and hold, or commit to obtain, the required employers’ and public liability insurance. Relevant trade authorisations or memberships may also apply. Strong quality delivery matters: quality carried more evaluation weight than price, and ongoing performance was monitored against key performance indicators.
