Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured building works to remove and re-render Patna Library and Community Centre. The work covers the external re-rendering of the community facility, rather than the supply of a standalone product or professional service. The site is on Doonside Avenue, Patna, KA6 7LX. This is a local-authority construction requirement for firms able to manage and deliver building-fabric repair and re-rendering works at a community facility. The council is the buying organisation and the completed tender relates to one package of work. The requirement sits within general construction and building works, with the practical focus on preparing the existing building, removing its current render and applying a replacement finish. Suppliers considering similar East Ayrshire Council work should see this as evidence of demand for small-scale public building maintenance and refurbishment.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. East Ayrshire Council used an open procedure, with electronic submissions, for a single lot. The tender deadline and bid opening were 11 March 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the award process began on that date. HLS McConnell was selected, and the contract was signed on 31 March 2026 for GBP 133,763.02. The construction timescale was eight weeks; the stated contract period was 60 days. Evaluation included financial integrity checks using a Creditsafe business credit report: a score below 30 out of 100 failed, while scores from 30 to 50 could trigger further financial checks. Bidders needed public and products liability insurance of GBP 5 million per claim and employers’ liability insurance of GBP 10 million per claim. Variants were not allowed.

This completed award shows that East Ayrshire Council uses an open, electronic route for building refurbishment work at community facilities and that the requirement attracted five bids. A credible future competitor would need practical experience in removing and applying render, managing work on an occupied or publicly used building, and delivering a contained construction package safely and reliably. Financial credibility is important: the council relies specifically on Creditsafe checks, so suppliers should maintain accurate company-registration and credit information and be able to answer additional risk queries where required. The required insurance capability is substantial for a small works contract, particularly public and products liability and employers’ liability cover. Firms that can combine responsive site delivery, robust construction management, suitable insurance and demonstrable financial stability would be better placed for similar work with this buyer.
