PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Trust for Scotland is seeking a suitably qualified and competent contractor to lead refurbishment and repair works at St Kilda Church. The scope covers joinery, roofing, masonry and painting, combining building repair with conservation work on a heritage property. The project is part funded by Historic Environment Scotland. The work will be delivered at St Kilda Church in the Western Isles, in the Outer Hebrides, around 66 kilometres west of Benbecula in the North Atlantic. This is a works contract for a contractor able to manage a multi-trade church refurbishment in a remote island location, rather than a supply-only opportunity. The requirement is treated as building and construction work, with the National Trust for Scotland acting as the buyer.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required and an electronic auction provided for tender submissions. Bids were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time; the award period starts then. The planned contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. There is one lot covering the complete St Kilda Church works, and variant bids are not allowed. The tender requires submissions in English and sets suitability as the selection basis. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The opportunity is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the contract does not include renewal or additional purchasing options.

This opportunity suits a main contractor with proven ability to coordinate joinery, roofing, masonry and painting as one refurbishment programme, including work on a heritage building. The buyer requires a suitably qualified and competent contractor able to manage technical delivery, site safety and construction compliance. Relevant capability includes planning around a heritage impact assessment, asbestos information and pre-construction requirements, together with safe systems for hot works. Contractors should be prepared to provide health and safety, insurance, business probity, equality and diversity, non-collusion and tender declarations. The supporting requirements also point to the need for robust site rules, contractor safety procedures, technical responses and pricing management. Firms with multi-trade delivery capacity, heritage repair experience and the resources to operate in the remote Western Isles setting are best placed to compete.
