Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured building works to refurbish studio and bedsit accommodation within existing flats and one house at Clinchyard Place, Galston. The scope included stripping out and demolition, alterations, general refurbishment, and new installations within the existing studio flatted dwellings. The main work category was building refurbishment and construction (CPV 45453100). The council was the buying organisation, with delivery at Clinchyard Place in Galston, East Ayrshire. The requirement covered a single package of works, involving coordinated building, mechanical, electrical, gas and asbestos-removal activities. The project was intended to improve and adapt existing residential accommodation rather than provide new-build housing.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Eight electronic bids were received. James Frew Ltd was selected for the single package, with an awarded contract value of £999,327.09. The contract was signed on 23 January 2024 and is active. The tender deadline and bid opening were 22 November 2024 at 12:00, although the recorded award timing is inconsistent with the signing date. The works were planned for 52 calendar weeks, with the lot contract period recorded as 360 days. Evaluation required suitability and economic checks, including specified trade registrations, a Creditsafe credit score of at least 30, and required insurance levels. Variants were not allowed, electronic payment and ordering apply, and electronic invoicing was permitted.

This award shows demand from East Ayrshire Council for substantial occupied or existing-residential refurbishment delivered through a single main works package. A credible future competitor would need the management capacity to coordinate building alterations and new installations alongside specialist mechanical, electrical, gas and asbestos-removal subcontractors. Electrical delivery requires NICEIC Approved Contractor or SELECT Approved Certifier registration and appropriately certified staff. Mechanical contractors need B&ES Association or CIPHE membership, gas contractors need commercial-level registration on the Gas Safe Register, and asbestos removal requires an HSE licence with certified employees. Firms also need robust financial standing, reliable business information, and the ability to support high public, employers’ and professional indemnity insurance requirements. The eight-bid competition indicates that electronic tendering and disciplined compliance will matter.
