Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured re-roofing works at Dunlop Primary School, Main Street, Dunlop, East Ayrshire, KA3 4AN. The works covered removing and replacing roof slates, leadwork and rainwater goods, with completion of Roof B treated as a priority. This is a construction and roofing requirement, classified under CPV 45260000 for specialised construction and related works. The council is the buying organisation and the work is centred on a primary school site in Dunlop. The requirement was arranged as a single package covering the full re-roofing project. It would suit a building contractor with the resources to manage school-site roofing works, coordinate specialist activities and complete the priority roof area as part of the wider project.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Eight electronic bids were received. Ailsa Building Contractors Ltd was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 21 May 2025 for £76,296.23. The planned construction timescale was eight weeks, while the stated contract period was 90 days. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days, with submissions closing at 12:00 on 1 May 2025. Evaluation included suitability, financial standing and required insurance. Proposed asbestos-removal contractors needed an HSE asbestos removal licence throughout the contract, with appropriately certified employees. Bidders needed a Creditsafe credit score of at least 30, public and products liability insurance of £5 million, and employers’ liability insurance of £10 million.

This award shows a defined local-market requirement for school roofing and associated external building work, delivered as a focused single-project package. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience removing and installing slates, completing leadwork and rainwater goods, and organising work around an occupied or operational education site. The ability to prioritise a specified roof section while managing the complete project would be important. Specialist asbestos capability is also central: any asbestos-removal contractor used would need an HSE licence and appropriately certified employees. Suppliers would need robust financial standing, maintain accurate Creditsafe information, and carry substantial public, products and employers’ liability cover. Capacity to deliver coordinated construction work within a short programme would strengthen credibility.
