Summary of the contracting process

Dunbritton Housing Association procured open-space maintenance and associated repair services for its housing properties. The work covers annual maintenance of hard and soft landscaped areas, plus reactive repairs, under the Association’s cyclical maintenance programme. The schedule also includes possible ad hoc work such as repairs to paving, slabs and tarmac, resurfacing, abandoned-car removal, and septic-tank emptying, cleaning and maintenance. Services are centred on properties in West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute, with the scope potentially extending to a wider area. The procurement is for a measured-term maintenance service rather than a single one-off project.

The procurement has been awarded to DAS Contracts, and the contract is recorded as active and signed on 5 May 2026. The contract value is £126,826.29. The tender was run through an open procedure, with five bids received. It covered one lot and was evaluated on quality, weighted at 60%, and service cost, weighted at 40%. The tender deadline was 30 March 2026. The planned initial contract period is three years, with two optional one-year extensions at the Association’s discretion, giving a maximum possible term of five years. The stated programme covers 2026/27 to 2029/30. Tenderers had to meet suitability and technical selection requirements; execution was reserved to a particular profession.

This award shows recurring demand from Dunbritton Housing Association for a contractor able to maintain housing-estate open spaces and respond to repairs across hard and soft landscaping. A credible competitor would need relevant open-space maintenance experience, the qualifications required for the reserved profession, and the capacity to deliver both scheduled annual work and reactive jobs across West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute. The range of associated tasks—from paving and tarmac repairs to abandoned-car removal and septic-tank services—favours a supplier able to coordinate varied work or manage appropriate specialist provision. Staff names and qualifications were required, and performance was assessed on quality as well as price. Contractors must also provide itemised invoices for each maintained block address, with completed work and costs broken down.
