Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council established a ranked framework for structural repair and maintenance work across its local government area. The requirement covers bridges, culverts, retaining walls and underpasses, with individual work orders issued when needed. Activities include rebuilding damaged masonry, repointing, structural concrete repairs, bridge expansion-joint replacement, waterproofing, anti-slip surfacing, timber deck and parapet reinstatement, painting structural steelwork, repairing vehicle restraint systems, scour protection, sprayed concrete, gabion work, temporary works, scaffolding and traffic or pedestrian management. This is a construction works opportunity, classified under CPV 45220000. Work will take place at various locations throughout East Dunbartonshire, for the Council as the client. The framework uses NEC4 contract arrangements for the framework and subsequent work orders.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. One lot was awarded to Covanburn Contracts Limited, Aberdeen Marine Ltd and WI & A Gilbert Ltd, with subcontracting intended by each appointed supplier. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and is active. Its value is £2,000,000. The framework has an initial three-year term, lasting 1,080 days, with an option to extend by up to one further year. The tender deadline and bid opening were both 2 March 2026 at 12:00. Bids had to remain valid until 30 June 2026. Up to three suppliers could participate. Evaluation included pass/fail suitability, financial standing and technical capability, followed by quality and pricing requirements. Eight electronic bids were received, including five from SMEs.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from East Dunbartonshire Council for multi-disciplinary structural repair contractors able to respond to work orders across a local authority area. Credible future competitors will need practical experience of bridge, culvert, retaining-wall and underpass repairs, together with the ability to manage masonry, concrete, waterproofing, surfacing, structural steel, scour protection, gabions and vehicle restraint systems. Capacity for temporary works, scaffolding and safe traffic and pedestrian management is important, as is the ability to deliver varied projects under NEC4 arrangements. Strong candidates should be established in the relevant professional or trade registers, demonstrate comparable work for similar clients, and provide suitably qualified staff. They will also need robust financial standing, appropriate insurance cover and the ability to manage subcontractors where specialist support is required.
