Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is seeking to establish a Multi Supplier Framework Agreement for the provision of floor coverings, including replacement and maintenance across various locations in Fife. This contract falls under the category of general public services within the construction industry, specifically works related to floor coverings (CPV code 45432111). The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with the deadline for electronic submissions set for 16th March 2026. The agreement is scheduled to run from September 2026 to September 2028, with an optional extension of up to two years thereafter. The contract, valued at £5.2 million, will follow a restricted procedure, involving selective procurement, to identify up to three contractors for the framework.

The framework allows contractors to demonstrate their capabilities in quality delivery while offering favourable terms, such as electronic invoicing. With community benefits also included, businesses can engage with local employment initiatives, adding social value to their proposals. Firms with a focus on sustainable practices and those prepared to engage with subcontractors to provide training and job opportunities for unemployed individuals will be particularly well-suited to succeed in this procurement, contributing not only to business growth but also to positive social outcomes within the region.
