Summary of the contracting process

Ayrshire College commissioned building alteration works to convert two existing classrooms into a loomshop. The work was carried out in the Aeronautical Building on the College’s Ayr campus in Ayr. The requirement covered a single package of works, described through drawings, specifications and a schedule of work. The project involved adapting existing teaching space for a specialist loomshop rather than constructing a new building. The College was the buyer and the works were intended for its own campus. This is a fit for building contractors experienced in classroom or institutional refurbishments, particularly firms able to coordinate the trades needed to alter interior spaces and deliver a specialist teaching environment.

The procurement is complete: D. McLaughlin & Sons Limited was selected, and the contract is active and signed. The contract was signed on 6 October 2026. The open procedure used one lot, with an estimated value of £80,000 and a contract duration of 60 days. The requirement was scheduled for delivery during the summer holiday period, July to August, with the programme to be agreed with the successful contractor. Bids were due by 30 June 2026, and the award period began that day. Eight bids were received. Tenderers were not permitted to submit variants. The award criteria and any detailed scoring or selection basis are not stated in the available procurement information.

This award shows demand at Ayrshire College for small-scale, specialist refurbishment of existing teaching accommodation, with work concentrated in a single campus building and delivered to a defined programme. Contractors seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to manage classroom alterations and coordinate multiple building trades around an operational education estate and a short holiday-period delivery window. The tender included a schedule of works, drawings, specifications and pre-construction information, and called for a subcontractor schedule and NICEIC certification; credible competitors should therefore be prepared to document their subcontracting arrangements and provide relevant electrical certification where the works require it. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and eight bids were received, indicating competition for this scale of college refurbishment.
