Summary of the contracting process

Glen Oaks Housing Association procured a term maintenance service for occupied properties in Arden, Darnley and North Pollok, Glasgow, covering postcode areas G46 and G53. The work includes planned and reactive gutter cleaning, certification of roof anchors, visual reporting on roof condition and provisional repairs to main roofs and low-level porch or canopy roofs. The service is for properties across the contract area and is managed by Glen Oaks Housing Association, a public housing organisation based in Glasgow. This is a building maintenance and specialist roof-access service, classified under CPV 90910000 for cleaning services, with gutter cleaning and associated roof inspection and repair as the practical scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure. One lot was evaluated using a selection pass/fail stage, followed by quality and price assessment. Contractor Design Proposals carried 70% of the score and price 30%; variants were not allowed. Nine electronic bids were received. MCS Safety Systems Ltd was selected, and the contract was signed on 22 September 2026 for £73,305. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the employer able to extend it annually at its discretion to 31 March 2032. The original tender deadline was 18 June 2026 at noon, with bid opening at 2pm the same day. Electronic payment and ordering apply, with electronic invoicing allowed.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible suppliers would need to combine safe access to occupied housing with the practical delivery of gutter cleaning, roof-anchor certification, visual roof-condition reporting and minor or provisional roof repairs. The buyer’s evaluation shows that a strong quality submission matters more than price alone: Contractor Design Proposals accounted for 70% of the assessment, while price accounted for 30%. Suppliers should therefore be able to present clear methods, competent personnel, reliable reactive response and planned maintenance arrangements, supported by relevant experience on multiple residential properties. The successful contractor was an SME, indicating that specialist small and medium-sized firms can compete for this type of housing maintenance service, provided they can demonstrate suitability and deliver consistently across dispersed Glasgow addresses.
