Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council appointed a sole contractor for maintenance and refurbishment works to void properties across Renfrewshire. The work covers empty council homes and may include rewiring, kitchen replacements, bathroom replacements, new boilers and complete heating-system installations. This is a construction and property-refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work, with related building-work classification CPV 45211300. The buyer is Renfrewshire Council, based in Paisley. The arrangement is a measured-term contract, allowing the Council to instruct work as required rather than committing to a fixed programme. It includes contractual Community Benefits and Fair Work First requirements, and requires the contractor to provide staff names and professional qualifications.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under an open procedure. City Gate Construction (Scotland) Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract value is £15,000,000. The tender deadline and bid opening were 27 April 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was signed on 14 July 2026. The contract period is 720 days, with an option for the Council to extend it once for up to 12 months. Bids had to remain valid until 24 September 2026. Evaluation included price, weighted at 65, and delivery quality, weighted at 10. Ten bids were recorded, all from SMEs, and electronic bids were used. Variants were not permitted.

This award demonstrates substantial demand from Renfrewshire Council for responsive property refurbishment across its void housing stock, covering multiple domestic trades rather than a single specialist package. A credible future competitor would need the workforce, supervision and supply-chain capacity to deliver rewires, kitchens, bathrooms, boilers and complete heating systems under a measured-term arrangement, where workloads are instructed as needed and continuity is not guaranteed. Relevant experience in empty-property turnaround, housing maintenance and refurbishment would help demonstrate delivery capability. Suppliers should also be prepared to name suitably qualified staff and meet the Council’s Community Benefits and Fair Work First commitments. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that businesses of this scale can compete, potentially with established subcontractors.
