Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council commissioned refurbishment and alterations to the existing bandstand in St Germain-en-Laye Gardens, Ayr. The works also cover associated hard landscaping and below-ground drainage. The site is at Bath Place, Wellington Square, Ayr. This is a public realm and building refurbishment project, combining work to an existing structure with external landscaping and drainage. The requirement was managed by South Ayrshire Council and organised as a single package. It would be relevant to contractors able to deliver refurbishment works alongside the associated groundworks and landscaping, or to firms able to coordinate those trades as part of a wider construction project.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to W H Kirkwood Ltd. South Ayrshire Council used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and is active. Its recorded value is £841,054.73. The contract period was set at 90 days. The tender deadline was 2 June 2025, and the award period began on that date. The single lot covered the bandstand refurbishment and alterations, hard landscaping and below-ground drainage. Two bids were received for the lot. Variants were not permitted. The procurement information does not state an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria.

The award demonstrates demand from South Ayrshire Council for a coordinated package of refurbishment and alteration works to an existing public structure, together with hard landscaping and below-ground drainage. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need credible construction delivery capability across those work types, including the ability to manage interfaces between structural refurbishment, external works and drainage on a public garden site in Ayr. The recorded contract value indicates a substantial construction project rather than a minor repair, and delivery was planned over a short, defined period. A contractor with relevant experience delivering multi-trade public realm projects, managing site coordination and completing works to an existing asset would be well placed to compete. The contract was awarded through an open procedure, and two bids were received.
