Summary of the contracting process

Melville Housing Association Ltd procured works to replace the roofs of 87 pitched-roof properties in the Penicuik area of Midlothian. The requirement falls within roofing and construction works, including roof covering, repair and maintenance activities (CPV 45261920). The work is for housing association properties and is intended to renew existing pitched roofs rather than provide a general roofing maintenance service. The procurement was managed by Melville Housing Association Ltd, based in Dalkeith. The appointed contractor is responsible for delivering the roof replacement works across the identified properties. The requirement was structured as one lot covering the roof replacement programme. Monthly meetings and site inspections are to be used to assess performance during delivery, with electronic payment available under the contract.

This completed procurement used a selective, two-stage restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 9 February 2026 at 5pm, with the second-stage invitation scheduled for 9 March 2026 and 10 candidates to be invited. The contract was awarded to G.M.G. (Contractors) Ltd and signed on 7 September 2026 for £1,299,922. The planned contract period is 1,080 days, with renewal available for 24 months on an annual basis subject to satisfactory performance. Four electronic bids were received. Selection included pass-or-fail suitability and economic checks, including an average annual turnover of at least £400,000. Relevant technical experience accounted for 30% of the overall marks, based on two comparable examples. Variants were not allowed and bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This requirement demonstrates demand from a housing association for a sizeable, multi-property pitched-roof replacement programme in Midlothian. A credible competing supplier would need the capacity to coordinate works across 87 homes, manage site activity and maintain performance through regular meetings and inspections. The buyer required a main contractor and subcontractors to provide company numbers, named staff and qualifications, and evidence of appropriate health and safety arrangements. Acceptable evidence included OHSAS 18001 or an equivalent standard, SSIP membership or equivalent construction-scheme progress, or agreement to follow the association’s health and safety procedures where applicable. Suppliers would also need established financial capacity and relevant experience delivering two similar projects, supported by client references and project details. The successful market included SMEs, showing that well-organised specialist contractors can compete at this scale.
