Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured building works to redesign the reception area at Barony Campus on Auchinleck Road, Cumnock. The project covers alterations to the campus reception area, classified as construction and building alteration work (CPV 45453100). The council is the buying organisation and the work is located at Barony Campus, Cumnock, East Ayrshire. The requirement involved a single project rather than separate service packages, with delivery under the council’s construction arrangements. Electrical, mechanical and asbestos-related work form part of the project requirements where applicable, so the opportunity is relevant to main contractors able to manage specialist building subcontractors as well as firms delivering the construction work directly.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure. It had one lot, with bids submitted electronically in English; seven bids were received. The tender deadline and bid opening were 13 May 2026 at 12:00, and bids had to remain valid for 90 days. W H Kirkwood Ltd was awarded the contract, with the award period beginning on 13 May 2026. The contract was signed on 25 May 2026, is active, and is worth £55,662.92. Construction was scheduled from 29 June to 14 August 2026, described as seven weeks; the lot contract period was 60 days. Evaluation required suitability and financial standing, including a Creditsafe score of at least 30 and specified insurance cover.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for small-scale public-sector reception refurbishment delivered by a capable main contractor. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate building alterations at an operational education or public campus, manage specialist trades and provide reliable programme control for a short construction period. Electrical delivery must be supported by NICEIC Approved Contractor or SELECT Approved Certifier registration, or an equivalent, with appropriately trade-certified staff. Mechanical work requires HVCA or CIPHE membership, or an equivalent, and certified employees. Any asbestos removal contractor must hold an HSE asbestos removal licence and employ suitably certified staff. Financial credibility, accurate Creditsafe records and the ability to maintain substantial public and employers’ liability insurance would also be important.
