Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured the design and construction of Phase 3 of Ayrshire Engineering Park, intended to meet demand for industrial premises in East Ayrshire and Ayrshire. The works comprise five shell industrial units of different sizes, labelled B1 to B5, with associated parking, service yards and landscaping. The contract is for construction works delivered through a design-and-build approach, separately from other phases of the park. The development is in East Ayrshire; Kilmarnock is the location associated with the council, but the procurement data does not identify a more precise construction-site address. The works were expected to proceed alongside Phase 2.

The procurement has been awarded to Clark Contracts Limited, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026, with a contract value of £12,155,346.73. The estimated contract duration is 360 days. East Ayrshire Council used a restricted procedure: five candidates were to be invited to the second stage, and four bids were recorded. The planned tender deadline was 30 January 2026, with second-stage invitations scheduled for 16 March 2026. Evaluation weighted price at 80% and quality at 20%. The process comprised one lot covering the Phase 3 industrial units and associated external works. Bidders were required to meet financial-standing and insurance thresholds, and to use appropriately registered and certified electrical, mechanical, gas and solar photovoltaic installers.

This award demonstrates demand from East Ayrshire Council for substantial design-and-build industrial construction: shell units in multiple sizes, supported by parking, service yards and landscaping. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need the capacity to manage a coordinated construction programme and deliver the full range of building and external works, including specialist electrical, mechanical, commercial gas and solar photovoltaic installation. Relevant accreditations include NICEIC or SELECT for electrical work; B&ES Association or CIPHE membership for mechanical work; Gas Safe registration at commercial level; and MCS certification for solar installers and products. The council also assessed company credit standing and required public and products liability cover of £5 million, employers’ liability of £10 million, and professional indemnity of £10 million maintained for 12 years after practical completion.
