Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council plans to procure the design, manufacture, supply and installation of structural steelwork and external cladding for a new business unit development at Flemington Road in Glenrothes, Fife. The construction will create flexible commercial accommodation for small and medium-sized enterprises, including industrial, storage, workshop and general business units. The wider development includes associated parking, servicing and external yard areas, with a focus on modern, energy-efficient premises and local economic growth. This is a construction works package, classified under CPV 45223210. The appointed contractor is expected to deliver the steelwork and cladding package for the proposed facility, rather than general business-unit construction or property management services.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Fife Council has announced its intention to procure and is carrying out preliminary market engagement before issuing a contract notice. The expected procedure has not yet been settled. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000. The council expected to publish the next notice on 9 October 2026. It invited suppliers to complete a voluntary request-for-information questionnaire by 28 August 2026; responses are for understanding market capability and refining the procurement strategy, and will not form part of tender evaluation. The planned package is presented as a single lot covering structural steelwork and cladding design, supply, fabrication and installation. This engagement is not an invitation to tender.

The work will suit structural steelwork and building-envelope contractors able to take responsibility across design, material supply, fabrication and installation. Relevant firms are likely to include steelwork specialists, cladding contractors and integrated construction businesses with the capacity to coordinate both disciplines on a commercial development. Preparation should focus on demonstrating experience delivering comparable steel-framed buildings and external cladding packages, including design coordination, fabrication quality, site installation and interface management with the wider construction project. Suppliers able to support modern, energy-efficient commercial premises may be well placed to respond to the council’s stated development objectives. The market engagement is specifically seeking information about supplier capability, so businesses should be ready to explain their technical capacity, delivery approach and relevant project experience before the tender is issued.
