Summary of the contracting process

UHI North, West and Hebrides procured comprehensive joinery works for its estate, covering the North, West, Skye and Western Isles areas of Scotland. The requirement includes reactive maintenance, such as urgent and non-urgent repairs to doors, windows, floors, ceilings, fixtures and fittings, together with making buildings safe after damage, failure or health and safety concerns. It also covers cyclical and preventative maintenance, adjustments and replacement of building elements, internal alterations, partitions, doorsets, bespoke joinery and small refurbishment projects. Statutory and compliance-related work includes support for fire-door maintenance and ensuring work meets current building regulations and relevant standards. The main category is building joinery and carpentry works, CPV 45420000.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UHI North, West and Hebrides used an open procedure with electronic submission. Bids closed at 12:00 on 22 June 2026, with evaluation beginning that day, and contracts were signed on 9 July 2026. Four lots each have a 720-day contract period. GMR Henderson Builders Ltd won the Skye and North Area lots, while Macleod and Buchanan Ltd won Western Isles and Robert MacMillan Carpentry and Joinery won West Area. Each active contract is valued at £32,396, and the overall estimated procurement value was £80,000. The lots covered North, West, Skye and Western Isles, with no variant bids permitted and bids submitted in English.

This requirement suits established joinery and carpentry contractors able to provide both responsive repairs and planned maintenance across dispersed education facilities. Credible suppliers need capacity for urgent call-outs as well as cyclical work, minor projects up to £15,000, internal alterations, bespoke joinery and small refurbishments. Competence in doors, windows, floors, ceilings, fixtures and fittings is relevant, alongside the ability to make safe damaged or unsafe building elements. Fire-door capability is particularly important: contractors must be competent and complete an industry fire-door course, and must work to building regulations and relevant standards. The awards show demand was divided geographically, with competition ranging from one to two bids per lot, so local coverage and reliable mobilisation are important.
