Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured demolition works at Sorn Road, Auchinleck, Cumnock, including the six-block Auchinleck Academy, its leisure centre and adjacent domestic dwellings at 39–41 Sorn Street. The successful contractor was required to demolish all buildings and leave the cleared site ready for future development. This is a construction and site-clearance requirement, classified under CPV 45110000, with demolition and building-clearance activities covered by CPV 45111000 and 45111100. Delivery is in Auchinleck within East Ayrshire. The buyer is East Ayrshire Council, a local authority. The scope was arranged as one lot and included the associated site works needed to complete the demolition and prepare the location for its future use.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 2 May 2025 at 12:00, with the award period beginning the same day. Nine electronic bids were received. Bardem Limited was awarded the single lot on 2 May 2025 for £395,000.03. The contract was signed on 8 August 2025 and is active. The works were planned to take 18 calendar weeks; the stated contract duration is 150 days. Evaluation required an HSE asbestos-removal licence for the proposed asbestos contractor, appropriate certification for employees, a Creditsafe credit score of at least 30 out of 100, and specified insurance cover. Public and products liability insurance was £5 million per claim, and employers’ liability insurance was £10 million per claim.

This procurement indicates demand from East Ayrshire Council for substantial public-sector demolition and site-clearance capability, including complex demolition of an education building, leisure facilities and adjacent housing. A credible future supplier would need to manage a complete demolition project, safely clear multiple structures and leave a site suitable for redevelopment. Specialist asbestos capability is central: the proposed asbestos-removal contractor must hold an HSE-issued asbestos removal licence throughout the work, and all operatives need appropriate certification. Competitors also need demonstrable financial resilience, with their business information maintained accurately for Creditsafe assessment, and the ability to provide robust public and products liability and employers’ liability insurance. The completed competition attracted nine bidders, showing an established market for this route and requirement.
