PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

River Clyde Homes is procuring an experienced contractor to supply and install modular galvanised steel access ramps on an ad-hoc basis for wheelchair users. The work is classified as construction, including access-ramp installation, building alteration and related ground preparation. Ramps must comply with building and planning regulations and be suitable for individual tenants referred by occupational therapists. The contractor will prepare and submit any required building warrant and planning applications, including drawings. The scope includes expanded galvanised metal ramps, warm-touch top rails, child-safe infills, galvanised steel or black powder-coated handrails, barrier film and stone-chip bases, and new slab landing areas. It also covers demounting, storage, use of stored components, removal of equipment and waste, and leaving premises tidy. River Clyde Homes is based in Greenock, with installations at tenants’ premises.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission through the PCS electronic post-box. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also due to be opened; the evaluation period started at that time. The procurement has one lot. The contract period is 1,440 days, with an initial two-year term and the possibility of two further 12-month extensions by mutual consent. Bids must remain valid for 90 days, be submitted in English and cannot include variants. Electronic ordering and payment will be used, electronic invoicing is permitted, and performance will be monitored against key performance indicators in the tender documents. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. The resulting agreement is recurrent, with a further process anticipated in July 2030.

This opportunity suits ramp manufacturers, access specialists and building contractors able to manage both design and installation for disabled access. The successful supplier must have the practical capability to install modular galvanised steel ramps, complete groundworks and landing slabs, arrange compliant materials and finishes, and manage removal and storage of ramp components. It also needs to handle planning and building warrant applications where required, including producing drawings, and coordinate work arising from occupational-therapist referrals. Suppliers must provide a three-year warranty, carry out annual maintenance inspections and certify each installed ramp. The work requires staff whose names and qualifications can be submitted, together with capacity for responsive, ad-hoc installations, demounting, storage, site clearance and ongoing maintenance across individual tenant locations.
