PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland is procuring works to replace and repair the Great Hall roof at Kisimul Castle in Castlebay, on the Isle of Barra. The scope includes structural timber repairs and the associated works described in the tender documents and drawings. This is a construction and building-repair opportunity, including roofing and joinery-related work, at a historic castle site. Delivery is at Kisimul Castle, with the exact work area identified in the tender drawings. The requirement is for a contractor able to undertake roof replacement and related structural repairs in a sensitive heritage setting, while coordinating site activities and complying with the project’s construction, health and safety and residual-risk requirements.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot. Responses must be submitted electronically in English, with variants not permitted. The tender deadline set by the buyer is 21 August 2026 at 17:00 UTC. Bids are scheduled to be opened on 24 August 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with evaluation beginning at that time. The contract period is 30 days. Tenders will be assessed on a price and quality basis. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. The tender requires bidders to provide staff names and qualifications and includes electronic payment and ordering arrangements, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This opportunity suits specialist roofing, structural timber repair and building-conservation contractors with the practical capability to replace a large historic roof and carry out associated timber repairs. It is relevant to firms experienced in working on castles or other listed, protected or otherwise sensitive buildings, where careful sequencing, protection of existing fabric and coordination with the client are important. Suppliers should be able to resource a short, concentrated works package at a remote island location and provide suitably qualified personnel, with their names and qualifications included in the tender response. Contractors should also be prepared to work from detailed drawings and manage the health and safety, pre-construction and residual-risk information supplied for the project.
