Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council, a regional or local authority located in Irvine, has completed the procurement of a significant construction project titled "NAC/DA/5078 Construction of Ardrossan Community Campus." This procurement, which falls under the general public services category, reached the award stage on 9 December 2024. The project is situated in the region of UKM93, Scotland. The council decided on a direct award via the SCAPE National Construction framework (Lot 3 Scotland – Upper Works) to Morgan Sindall Construction and Infrastructure Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Sheffield. The contract, valued at £1,527,527.89, began with an NEC Professional Services Contract and will proceed in two phases, with the construction phase contingent on the successful completion of pre-construction services.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in construction and infrastructure, specifically those capable of handling large-scale public service projects. Companies with experience in educational facility construction and a proven track record in adhering to strict specifications, such as the Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP), would find this project particularly aligned with their expertise. The procurement method reflects an open procedure, which ensures transparency and equal opportunity. Businesses that can demonstrate capacity and competence in managing complex, multi-phase projects within set timelines will be well-suited to participate in future tenders of this nature, fostering growth through involvement in significant public infrastructure endeavours.

Notice Information

Notice Title

NAC/DA/5078 Construction of Ardrossan Community Campus

Notice Description

NAC has concluded an alternative procurement strategy for the Ardrossan Campus project to progress as after award and as the PCSDA progressed, the costs associated with the original Passivhaus specification significantly increased and were prohibitive for NAC to continue within the original appointment. The existing PCSDA contract (NAC/5129) with Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd which was awarded in January 2024 has since been terminated and the revised procurement route is via a Direct Award on the SCAPE National Construction framework - Lot 3 Scotland - Upper Works to Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd. The new appointment (NAC/DA/5078) proceeds with a Learning Estate Investment Programme (LEIP) compliant specification. The direct award process was chosen to maintain project continuity and momentum. Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure Ltd are the top ranked contractor for this value of works on this framework and were the awarded contractor in the previous procurement process.
