Summary of the contracting process

The Diocese of Paisley procured building fabric repair works for St Fillans Church and the former school. The project covers a Category B listed church and school building, with roofing, leadwork, stone repairs and associated internal and external works. The buildings are to remain occupied and operational during the works, requiring careful phasing and coordination with stakeholders. Historic Environment Scotland and KSN Project Management Ltd are also identified as buyers involved in the process. The requirement is classified as building-related professional, scientific and technical services under CPV 71500000, although the practical work is conservation and refurbishment construction. The procurement covers one package described as procurement and contracting services, relating to the St Fillans Church and former school site in the UKM83 area.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids were submitted electronically, with the deadline at 12:00 on 20 May 2026 and the award period beginning that day. Seven bids were received, all from SMEs. W H Kirkwood Ltd was selected for the single package. The contract value is £499,619, and it was signed on 1 September 2026. The planned contract period is 120 days. Evaluation required roofing accreditation from NFRC or an equivalent, leadwork accreditation from LCA or an equivalent, and SSIP health and safety accreditation. Bidders also had to provide public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity insurance certificates, with a stated minimum of £5 million, and demonstrate the technical and professional ability set out in the tender documents.

This procurement indicates demand for specialist conservation and refurbishment contractors able to repair listed ecclesiastical and former educational buildings while they remain occupied and operational. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in roofing, leadwork, stone repair and associated internal and external building works, together with the ability to phase activities safely around continuing use and coordinate several stakeholders. The successful market profile included SME bidders, so the requirement was accessible to established smaller contractors as well as larger firms with relevant capacity. Strong evidence of technical and professional ability would be important, supported by named staff and their qualifications. Equivalent roofing and leadwork accreditations, SSIP health and safety accreditation, and robust insurance arrangements would be central to competing for a similar requirement from the Diocese of Paisley.
