Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council procured building works to refurbish the existing toilets at Gartconner Primary School in Kirkintilloch. The scope covered scaffolding and access, sanitary fittings, joinery, flooring, decoration and electrical works, with supporting drawings and pre-construction information forming part of the requirement. The work was delivered at Gartconner Primary School, Gartshore Road, Waterside, Kirkintilloch. This was a single school refurbishment requirement, managed by the council as the buying organisation. The contract used the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract and included electronic ordering and payment arrangements. It is therefore relevant to principal contractors and refurbishment specialists able to coordinate multiple building trades in an operational education setting, including firms with experience of sanitary, joinery, flooring, decoration and electrical installation work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed at noon on 5 June 2026, with the bid opening scheduled for the same time. Bell Group Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 13 August 2026. The contract value is £165,822.96 including the stated GBP currency, with a duration of 420 days. Works were restricted to school-holiday site periods: 26 June to 12 August 2026, 12 to 16 October 2026, 5 to 16 April 2027, and 1 July to 13 August 2027. The tender received 12 electronic bids, all from SMEs. Selection required a relevant professional or trade-register entry, a pass on the financial requirements, and at least two similar contracts successfully delivered within the previous three years. Variants were not allowed.

This award provides a clear benchmark for contractors targeting East Dunbartonshire Council’s school refurbishment requirements. A credible supplier would need to manage a coordinated package of access, sanitary, joinery, flooring, decoration and electrical works, with the planning discipline needed to complete activity during restricted school-holiday access windows. The buyer required named staff and qualifications, evidence of at least two comparable successfully delivered contracts, and the capacity to work under an NEC4 Engineering and Construction Short Contract. Suppliers also needed robust financial standing, professional or trade-register compliance and appropriate insurance arrangements, including employers’ and public liability cover and professional indemnity insurance. The competition attracted 12 SME bids, indicating that suitably experienced smaller contractors can compete, provided they can demonstrate comparable education or public-sector refurbishment capability and reliable multi-trade delivery.
