Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council commissioned construction works at 18 Glaisnock Street, Cumnock. The requirement was for a new diaphragm wall enclosing an exposed gable wall left open after the demolition of an adjoining building. This is a specialist structural and building construction project, classified under CPV 45262213 for foundation work. The work is located in Cumnock and forms one completed lot. The council is the buying organisation and the project concerns remedial protection and enclosure of an existing property rather than a general building programme. Contractors with experience in diaphragm walls, structural remediation, demolition interfaces and associated site construction would be most relevant. The requirement also included asbestos-related responsibilities where removal work was needed as part of the project.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Four electronic bids were received, and East Ayrshire Council awarded the contract to Emtec Property Services Limited. The contract was signed on 19 February 2024 and is active. Its value is £143,883.35. The construction period was set at 20 weeks, while the lot records a contract duration of 150 days. The tender deadline was 12 January 2024 at noon, with bid opening at the same time. Bids had to be submitted in English and remain valid for 90 days. Variants were not allowed. Selection required an HSE asbestos removal licence for the proposed asbestos contractor and appropriate certification for employees. Financial checks used Creditsafe, with required public and products liability insurance of £5 million and employers’ liability insurance of £10 million.

This completed project indicates demand from East Ayrshire Council for contractors able to deliver focused structural remediation in occupied or previously altered urban sites. A credible future supplier would need practical diaphragm-wall and foundation expertise, safe working around exposed masonry and demolition interfaces, and the ability to manage a defined construction package through to completion. Asbestos capability is important where removal is required: the relevant contractor must hold an HSE asbestos removal licence throughout the work and provide appropriately certified employees. Suppliers also need robust financial standing and the capacity to carry substantial insurance cover. The competition attracted four bids, showing that the requirement can draw several interested contractors. Smaller firms may still be relevant if they can demonstrate the required technical, compliance and delivery capacity.
