Summary of the contracting process

The Orkney Islands Council, based at Council Offices, School Place, Kirkwall, is overseeing a procurement process titled "Measured Term Contract for the Orkney Mainland 2025 - 2028", primarily in the General Public Services category, under a restricted procedure. The contract involves daily reactive maintenance, a 24-hour responsive repair service, and minor works across various properties on the Orkney Mainland, with the possibility of extending to the outer isles. Commencing in April 2025, the three-year contract has a projected value of approximately GBP 3,750,000, with individual order values ranging from GBP 30 to over GBP 10,000. The process has moved from the tender stage, concluding on 7th March 2025, to the award stage, with R Clouston Ltd being awarded the contract on 13th April 2026.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for businesses that provide building maintenance and repair services. With R Clouston Ltd having secured the contract, there remains ample opportunity for subcontractors specialising in plumbing, electrical work, painting, flooring, and cleaning, as the awarded company plans to allocate up to 60% of the work to subcontractors. The contract's emphasis on delivering services to a wide range of properties, including houses, non-domestic properties, schools, and care homes, means trade professionals and companies with experience in handling large-scale property maintenance projects are well-suited to compete and grow through such engagements.
