Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated on 5th June 2025, involves East Lothian Council, a regional authority responsible for general public services. The tender is for the 'Plumbing Framework,' focusing on works to public buildings in East Lothian, a region known by its code UKM73. The process is in the tender stage with an open procurement method, encouraging electronic submissions via the Public Contracts Scotland website. Key dates include the tender period ending on 7th July 2025 at noon, where bid openings and award periods concurrently commence. The Council's goal is to engage in general plumbing tasks, TMV replacements, insulation works, and other related activities, ultimately signing a framework agreement with up to four participants.

This tender represents significant business opportunities, particularly for plumbing contractors capable of managing large-scale projects and public building maintenance. The open procedure ensures that any suitably qualified company can submit bids, fostering competition. Businesses that specialise in general plumbing and insulation works, as well as those adept at handling electronic tender submissions, would find this opportunity well-fitting. Moreover, with the potential for an extension by one year after the three-year contract period, participating companies could anticipate sustained growth and collaboration with East Lothian Council, further augmented by community benefits focusing on social, economic, and environmental enhancements in the locality.
