OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring business support services for three council-supported sites in Fife. The requirement covers support for the Fife Renewables Innovation Centre in Leven, Dunfermline Business Centre and Business Incubator Kirkcaldy. Suppliers may offer support at one or more of these locations, with the procurement divided into three lots. The service category is business and personnel support services (CPV 79620000). The work is intended to support the operation and development of the named centres, with the detailed service requirements set out in the tender specification. This opportunity suits organisations that provide practical business support to innovation centres, business centres or incubator environments, and can deliver services locally across Leven, Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy for Fife Council.

The process reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 7 September 2026 at 12:00, followed by bid opening at 12:30 on the same date. Contracts are scheduled to run from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2029, with an optional 12-month extension available for each lot. The overall estimated value is £300,000 GBP; each of the three lots is valued at £100,000 GBP. Bids may cover up to three lots, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is based on 60% price and 40% quality. Suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document and answer the quality questions. Submissions must be in English.

This opportunity is suited to established business-support providers with the staff, systems and experience to assist organisations based in innovation, business-centre and incubator settings. Strong candidates will be able to demonstrate a clear delivery approach against the specification and provide well-evidenced answers to the quality questions used in evaluation. The requirement can suit a specialist provider focused on one site or a larger organisation able to serve several Fife locations, since suppliers may bid for up to three lots. Organisations should also be prepared to describe voluntary community benefits they can provide beyond their normal activity. The procurement requires completion of the Single Procurement Document, so bidders should have the governance and financial standing needed for public-sector work.
