Summary of the contracting process

Paisley Housing Association procured gutter cleaning, roof inspections and roof safety system testing for properties throughout Paisley. The work includes routine gutter maintenance; inspection of roofs with a comprehensive report for each property; and testing, inspection and certification of each applicable roof safety system. Depending on inspection findings, it may also cover cleaning roof skews, valleys and flashings, moss removal, and minor remedial, repair or improvement work to roof finishes, drainage and disposal systems, and roof services. This is a property maintenance service combining planned cleaning and safety checks with reporting and potential small-scale follow-up repairs. The requirement serves the Association’s housing stock in Paisley, Renfrewshire.

The procurement is complete: Paisley Housing Association selected james mearchent & sons ltd, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 24 November 2025, for £55,715.34. It was run as an open procedure, with one lot and a two-year contract period; the buyer may extend it by up to three further one-year periods. The estimated procurement value was £138,000, with extensions estimated at £23,000 per year and each two-year period estimated at £46,000, excluding VAT. The submission deadline was 25 August 2025. Bids were assessed against economic and technical selection requirements, including turnover and insurance, relevant experience, staffing and access to suitable tools, plant or technical equipment. Three bids were received, all from SMEs.

This award shows demand from a social housing provider for a supplier able to combine regular gutter maintenance with roof condition inspections, property-level reporting, and testing and certification of roof safety systems. Credible competitors will need to demonstrate relevant delivery experience with two examples, sufficient staff and management capacity, and access to the tools, plant and technical equipment needed for the work. The buyer also assessed financial resilience: bidders needed to meet its turnover threshold and hold, or be able to obtain, employer’s liability and public liability insurance at the required levels. Firms using subcontractors should be able to manage and track a resilient supply chain, pay subcontractors promptly and evidence payment performance. The scope may also suit roofing maintenance businesses capable of undertaking minor repairs and cleaning roof features alongside inspection and safety-testing work.
