Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council initiated a public procurement process for the replacement of 13 fitted kitchens in properties located in Horseshoe Close, Virkie, Shetland. This tender, titled "Horseshoe Close, Virkie, Shetland - Kitchen Replacements," falls under the industry category of general public services. The procurement process followed a restricted procedure, where the procurement method was selective. This procurement stage is complete and the contract was awarded on 12th January 2026 to RG Construction for a value of GBP 124,413. The procurement process adhered to Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and required all work to comply with relevant standards for social housing improvements. The project location was specified as Virkie in the Shetland Islands, with the overarching responsibility managed by the Shetland Islands Council.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, plumbing, electrical, and decoration services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as RG Construction, who successfully won the contract, are well-suited to compete in this field due to the project's scale and requirements for technical proficiency in trades such as GasSafe registered engineers and SELECT or NICEIC approved electricians. The procurement encouraged the participation of electronically submitted bids, thereby facilitating access for businesses operating remotely or those specialising in construction and refurbishment projects in social housing sectors. Participating businesses had to provide financial and technical credentials, such as historical project examples and current insurance evidence, to meet the tender requirements.
