Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Cairn Housing Association, centred on the project titled "Cairn Housing: Highland Area Redecoration 2025," which called for internal and external common area decoration at 360 social housing properties across various locations including Aviemore, Boat of Garten, and Inverness. As a buyer with a focus on housing and community amenities, Cairn Housing Association pursued an open procedure for this works category under an active tender status that commenced on 24 January 2025. The contract was subsequently awarded to Mitie Property Services (UK) Ltd, with the award finalised on 27 March 2025, highlighting key opportunities for engagement through electronic submissions during the tender stage, which had a closing date of 21 February 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the construction and redecoration sectors, particularly those with expertise in large-scale residential projects. The successful bidder, Mitie Property Services (UK) Ltd, exemplifies the calibre of large enterprises equipped to deliver on such projects. Smaller businesses with experience in housing maintenance and community amenities can find sub-contracting possibilities or form partnerships to engage in similar future procurement undertakings by leveraging strategic insights into the tender process and aligning with primary contractors such as Mitie. With continuous procurement activities by housing associations like Cairn Housing, opportunities for business growth in the housing sector remain promising.
