Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has awarded a contract for the "PKC12687 Domestic bathroom replacements" project, which involves the replacement of bathrooms in 568 domestic properties throughout the Perth & Kinross Council area. This procurement falls under the industry category of construction works with a focus on bathroom installations. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract signed on 29 June 2026, post-evaluation via a restricted procedure method. The tender process witnessed significant interest, reflecting robust competition. The procurement method employed was selective, facilitating a targeted selection of qualified candidates, ultimately awarding the contract to QTS Contracts North Ltd, with the contract valued at £1,976,685.55.

This project presents lucrative growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction, particularly those specialising in domestic refurbishments. Given the scale and demands of the project, companies equipped with substantial bathroom installation experience, particularly those accustomed to working on occupied premises, would find this advantageous. Perth & Kinross Council's requirements included stringent criteria for quality and price, indicating a preference for businesses with strong quality management and insurance credentials. Smaller enterprises, specifically SMEs, were also actively engaged in the bidding process, reflecting an inclusive procurement approach by the Council that seeks to support a broad range of suppliers. Companies that meet these qualifications and have the capacity to deliver high-quality, competitive solutions stand to benefit significantly from this initiative.
