Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council is seeking a main construction contractor to deliver public realm improvements along Main Street and Mitchell Way in Alexandria. The works fall within the construction sector (CPV 45000000). The project covers a series of improvements across these streets; the stated requirement is for a contractor to take responsibility for delivering the construction works. The buyer is the Council, and the delivery location is Alexandria, in West Dunbartonshire. This is a suitable opportunity for construction firms with experience in public realm or comparable infrastructure and streetscape projects, subject to the financial, insurance and experience thresholds set out for participation.

The Council invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 12:00, with the evaluation period starting at that time. The estimated contract value is £1,030,000, and the contract period is 720 days. The procurement is arranged as one lot, with variant bids not permitted. Economic and financial standing requirements include annual turnover above £2,060,000 in each of the previous two years and a pass in at least two of three financial ratios: acid test above 1, positive return on capital employed, and current ratio above 1. Required insurance includes employers’ liability of £10 million per claim, public and product liability of £10 million per claim, and professional indemnity of £5 million per claim. Evaluation requires three relevant project examples demonstrating experience and capacity.

This opportunity is best suited to an established main contractor able to manage public realm construction works in a town-centre street environment and demonstrate delivery of similar projects. Bidders need the operational capacity to provide three relevant examples showing both experience and capacity for this type of work. The financial threshold favours businesses with substantial turnover and adequate balance-sheet performance; a parent company guarantee may support a bidder whose own financial position does not meet the criteria, subject to the Council’s assessment. Contractors must hold, or be able to obtain before contract commencement, the specified employers’, public and product liability, and professional indemnity cover. Firms with the required financial standing, insurance and comparable project track record are therefore the strongest fit.
