Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council commissioned estates marketing for a development opportunity at 113 Main Street, Caldercruix, Airdrie. The site is suitable for residential or mixed-use development under the North Lanarkshire Local Development Plan 2022. It previously contained residential flats, followed by a temporary health centre, and is now partly hardstanding and partly grass-covered. The site is close to Glengowan Primary School. The requirement falls within property marketing and estate agency services, with the activity taking place in Airdrie. The opportunity concerned marketing the site and supporting the receipt of offers from parties proposing a suitable use and purchase terms.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids closed at noon on 28 February 2025, with the award period beginning that day. One electronic bid was received, and Mailers, Solicitors was selected for the single lot. The council invited offers over £75,000. The contract was signed on 28 August 2025 and is active, with a stated duration of 30 days. The recorded contract value is £1 GBP, while the advertised property offer level was over £75,000. Submissions had to include an application form, proposed use, offer amount, conditions and timescales. Evaluation followed a bid review and delegated approval process; the council did not commit to accepting the highest offer.

This procurement indicates demand from North Lanarkshire Council for property and estates specialists able to market council-owned development sites and manage a structured offer process. Relevant suppliers would need experience presenting land opportunities to residential or mixed-use developers, understanding local planning policy, and explaining a site's previous use, physical condition and development context clearly to prospective purchasers. Credibility would also depend on handling formal application requirements, recording proposed uses and financial offers, checking conditions and timescales, and supporting the buyer through review and legal completion. The successful supplier was a large solicitor practice, suggesting that property-law capability and the ability to manage the transaction alongside marketing may be useful when comparable council land requirements return.
