Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council procured demolition works at Burnside Street, Kilmarnock. The requirement covered demolishing two timber outbuildings, removing all items within the site boundary, dismantling and removing fixed and non-fixed internal fixtures and fittings, taking waste off site, and removing fencing in accordance with the bills of quantities. This is construction and site-clearance work, classified under CPV 45111100 for demolition work. The sole lot concerned the complete Burnside Street outbuilding demolition requirement. Delivery is in Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire. The selected supplier was Dem-Master Demolition Limited, an SME based in Bathgate. The buying organisation is East Ayrshire Council, a local authority. The requirement is therefore most relevant to demolition contractors able to manage small building removals, site clearance, waste disposal and associated dismantling work.

This completed procurement used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at the same time; the award period began then. Seven electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. Dem-Master Demolition Limited was awarded the single lot, with the award made on 27 July 2026. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £17,472. The published scope describes a two-calendar-week job, while the lot records a contract duration of 30 days. Evaluation included a Creditsafe business credit score of at least 30 out of 100; scores between 30 and 50 could trigger further financial checks. Required insurance was £5 million public and products liability and £10 million employers’ liability.

This award shows a local authority buying a tightly defined demolition and clearance package rather than a large construction programme. A credible future competitor would need practical experience demolishing timber outbuildings, removing internal fixtures and fittings, taking materials and waste off site, and dismantling fencing in line with bills of quantities. The work suits an SME with the plant, labour and site-management arrangements to complete a short, self-contained clearance project safely and efficiently. Financial readiness is important: the buyer uses Creditsafe specifically and applies a minimum credit-score threshold, with additional scrutiny possible for borderline scores. Suppliers also need to hold, or be able to obtain before work starts, substantial public and products liability and employers’ liability cover. The seven-bid response indicates competition from smaller businesses, including electronic bidders.
