Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council procured refurbishment works at the Loch Centre in Tranent, East Lothian. The requirement is construction and renovation work for a leisure or community building, covering the council’s proposed refurbishment of the centre. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is East Lothian. The contract also includes a community benefits requirement: the service provider must engage with the council to deliver proportionate social, economic and environmental benefits, supporting sustainability and value from public spending. This is a single works requirement rather than a multi-lot programme. Businesses suited to this opportunity are building contractors with the capacity to manage refurbishment works and engage constructively with a local authority on community benefit commitments.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. East Lothian Council used an open procedure. One lot was awarded to Algo Design and Build. The contract value is £5,427,155, and the contract was signed on 16 July 2026 for 720 days. The tender deadline was amended to 30 March 2026 at 12:00, with tenders opened at that time; the award process began on 13 March 2026. Evaluation included contractors’ experience and price, with the published criteria showing 8 for experience and 80 for price. Variants were not allowed. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days, be submitted in English, and include staff names and qualifications. Two electronic bids were received, including one from an SME.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from East Lothian Council for sizeable refurbishment and construction work in its community facilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven experience delivering building refurbishment, the operational capacity to manage a substantial single-site works contract, and suitably qualified staff whose names and qualifications can be provided as part of the tender. Strong price control matters because price carried the greater published evaluation emphasis, while relevant contractor experience also formed part of the assessment. Suppliers should also be able to deliver social, economic and environmental community benefits in partnership with the council, alongside electronic tendering and contract administration. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that specialist or well-managed smaller contractors can compete at this scale.
