Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council commissioned Phase 2 refurbishment works at Mortlach Primary School in Dufftown. The requirement is school-building refurbishment, with the procurement also classified under construction and civil engineering works, mechanical installation, and civil and mechanical/electrical engineering services. The work is at the primary school in Dufftown, Moray. The contract is a call-off from the SPA PB3 framework, rather than a standalone project. The buyer is Moray Council, based in Elgin. The published scope identifies refurbishment works but gives no detailed breakdown of the building elements or individual tasks in the contracting information.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is recorded as active. Moray Council used a direct award as a single-supplier call-off from the SPA PB3 framework, without a competition for this contract; the bid statistics report two bids. Galliford Try Construction Ltd, trading as Morrison Construction North East, was selected. The awarded value is £2,645,154.78. The award information does not state an award date or a contract period, so these cannot be reported. The process is presented as one Phase 2 refurbishment requirement, with no separate lot awards described. The available information gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for the call-off, so the basis on which the two bids were assessed is not stated.

This award demonstrates demand from Moray Council for substantial primary-school refurbishment delivered through the SPA PB3 framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver building refurbishment and coordinate construction with relevant civil, mechanical and electrical engineering capabilities. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate the capacity to manage a multi-disciplinary school project at a significant scale and to work within the framework call-off route. The selected contractor was a construction company, indicating that the buyer engaged a principal construction supplier for the works. The procurement information does not identify required accreditations, specific technical standards or experience thresholds, so suppliers should use the published scope and framework requirements to judge the detailed fit.
