Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council is procuring refurbishment works at Calside Primary School in Dumfries. The project covers internal alterations and general repairs, including replacing the existing aluminium windows and two external doors, repairing the window surrounds, and installing new timber stud partitions and solid-core plywood doors. Existing heating and part of the lighting installation will be removed. The works also include new electric heating, partial ventilation and partial lighting services. The procurement is classified as building work for a school (CPV 45214210). Delivery is at Calside Primary School, Calside Road, Dumfries. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with expectations addressed through the quality questionnaire and a community wishlist and benefit menu.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, so the process reached the tender stage. The opportunity is arranged as one lot, covering the school refurbishment and building-services work. The estimated value is £500,000. The stated contract period is 120 days. Bids were due by 12 noon on 26 October 2026; the evaluation period was scheduled to start at that time. Offers had to be submitted electronically in English and remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. Variant bids were not allowed. The selection requirement stated that the bidder must be enrolled with NICEIC or SELECT for electrical contractors. The tender information does not set out a separate award-scoring formula; the quality questionnaire is referenced for community benefits.

This opportunity is suited to a building contractor able to manage a coordinated refurbishment within an operating or school-site environment, bringing together window and door replacement, internal carpentry and partitioning, repair work, heating, ventilation, lighting and electrical work. The scope favours firms with experience sequencing strip-out and installation across multiple trades, and with the capacity to complete the package within the specified 120-day contract period. Electrical capability is a defined participation requirement: the bidder must be enrolled with NICEIC or SELECT for Electrical Contractors. Suppliers should also be prepared to address community-benefit proposals through the quality questionnaire and the council’s community wishlist and benefit menu. Specialist subcontractors may be relevant for electrical and building-services elements, alongside contractors able to coordinate the full works package.
