Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured damp, mould, condensation and ventilation survey and management services for its housing and property maintenance operations. The work covers reactive inspections of domestic tenanted properties, common areas and non-domestic premises, with formal reports identifying the condition and root causes of problems and recommending eradication, reinstatement and preventative measures. It also includes re-inspections, laboratory and mycological analysis where required, air-quality monitoring equipment, data management, tenant discussions and advice to the council and contractors carrying out remedial works. The service covers the East areas of Kirkintilloch, Lennoxtown, Milton of Campsie, Lenzie and Twechar, and the West areas of Milngavie, Bearsden, Bishopbriggs and Torrance. Monthly management reporting and performance dashboards are required, and the supplier may provide witness statements or court reports.

This completed open procedure was divided into two lots. Lot 1 East was awarded to Procast Building Contractors Ltd for £117,000; Lot 2 West was awarded separately to the same supplier for £117,000. Both contracts were signed on 27 August 2026 and are active, with each lasting 1,020 days. The original tender deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at 12:30 and evaluation beginning at 12:30. Bids were submitted electronically in English and had to remain valid for 120 days. Selection required a certified damp survey expert with RICS, CIOB or equivalent membership and at least five years’ relevant post-qualification experience, three relevant service examples and minimum annual contract-specific turnover of £73,000. Two bids were received for each lot. Award restrictions applied where a bidder already held the corresponding East or West remedial works contract.

This award shows a requirement for specialist property-condition surveyors able to diagnose damp, mould, condensation and ventilation problems across housing estates and non-domestic premises, then turn findings into clear remedial and preventative action plans. Credible competitors would need a suitably qualified lead surveyor, recognised chartered surveying or building accreditation, and demonstrable experience delivering comparable survey-and-management services for public or private clients. Operational strength would include arranging tenant visits promptly, completing inspections quickly, producing reports and recommendations at pace, carrying out re-inspections, and managing air-quality monitoring equipment and data. Suppliers would also need reliable monthly performance reporting, dashboard capability, tenant communication skills and the ability to support the council’s remedial contractors. Laboratory or mycological assessment, technical advice and preparation of evidence for legal proceedings are further relevant capabilities.
