OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland is procuring painting services for work required from time to time across the Edinburgh and Stirling areas. The requirement covers both Properties in Care and office buildings, so suppliers may need to work in heritage environments as well as operational premises. It is divided into two geographic lots: Edinburgh and Stirling, with suppliers able to bid for either or both. The buyer is Historic Environment Scotland. The service is classified as painting services (CPV 92522200), within the broader services category. Delivery is associated with Edinburgh and Stirling. The requirement is intended for one supplier or multiple suppliers able to provide responsive painting works across the relevant properties and buildings in the selected area or areas.

The process reached tender: Historic Environment Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline set for bids was 27 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time; award evaluation was scheduled to start then. There are two lots, Edinburgh and Stirling, and suppliers may bid for both. Each lot has an initial contract period of 720 days and may be extended by a further 12 months at HES’s discretion. Evaluation is split equally between quality, worth 50%, and price, worth 50%. Variant bids are not allowed. English is the submission language. The contract is expected to be re-tendered in 2029 if extensions have ended and budget remains available.

This opportunity suits established commercial painting contractors with the workforce, management systems and geographic reach to respond to work across Edinburgh or Stirling. Suppliers should be able to deliver painting services in both heritage Properties in Care and office buildings, adapting their approach to different operational settings. Financial standing will be assessed through an independent business credit report; where that cannot be obtained, audited accounts for the last full financial year may be requested. The stated minimum insurance requirements are Employers’ Liability cover of £5 million and Public Liability cover of £10 million. Bidders are encouraged to offer community benefits, such as local apprenticeships or work placements. HES will not accept suppliers’ terms or negotiate at award or after award.
