Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council procured inspection, testing, servicing and maintenance of boosted water tank and pump systems, together with associated equipment, across various council properties in Dundee. This is a specialist building-services maintenance requirement, covering mechanical equipment used to boost and store water. The main classification is CPV 50511000, for repair and maintenance services of pumps. The contract is for services rather than goods or construction works. The requirement is managed and used by Dundee City Council, with delivery taking place at its properties in Dundee. It includes system inspections, testing, routine servicing and maintenance activities, so relevant suppliers are likely to be those with practical experience maintaining boosted water systems and related mechanical plant in public or other multi-property environments.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. Bids closed at 12:00 on 18 June 2026, with bid opening at the same time in Dundee. Four electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Scan Building Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 18 June 2026 for the single lot. The contract value is £250,928.28 including the stated award value, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The original estimated procurement value was £160,000. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to renew for two further two-year periods. Evaluation allocated 40% to price and 15% to contract resourcing, with the remaining assessment set out in the procurement documents. Variants were not allowed.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist inspection, testing, servicing and maintenance of boosted water tank and pump systems across a council property estate. Suppliers preparing for comparable work should be able to show robust technical competence in pumps, water tanks, associated mechanical equipment, system logbooks, inspection records and safe working practices. Strong contract resourcing is important, as it was an identified quality criterion, alongside competitive pricing. Financial and operational credibility also matter: bidders and subcontractors must carry £10 million employer’s liability insurance and £10 million public liability insurance for each claim, while the council’s financial assessment requires an Equifax score of at least 35. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that suitably capable smaller building-services firms can compete for this scale of public maintenance work.
