Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Housing Association Ltd is procuring specialist damp and mould surveying services for its housing stock in the Scottish Borders, including properties in and around Selkirk. The service will investigate damp, mould and condensation where the cause cannot be established through the Association’s initial inspection process. It is intended to provide evidence-based findings that support the Association’s obligations under the Investigation and Commencement of Repair (Scotland) Regulations 2026. This is a housing-related professional surveying and inspection service, classified under CPV 71315300, with associated building inspection and technical testing activities. The requirement is for one service covering the Association’s housing stock rather than separate goods supplies or construction works.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 1 October 2026 at 12:00, when bids were also scheduled to be opened; the evaluation period was due to start on that date. The contract is valued at £208,000 including the single lot. Its initial duration is 1,800 days, described as three years, with options for two further 12-month renewals. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and may not include variants. Suitability selection is based on the Single Procurement Document, including an Experian check with a minimum score of 51. The contract allows electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing.

This opportunity suits a specialist damp and mould surveying contractor able to inspect housing properties, investigate complex or uncertain causes of damp, mould and condensation, and produce reliable evidence-based reports. The successful supplier will need to support a housing association’s regulatory repair and investigation obligations, so experience of residential housing stock, building condition assessment and communicating findings clearly would be relevant. Bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work, making suitably qualified surveyors and a managed technical team important. The scale calls for an organisation able to deliver surveys across an Association’s housing stock over a multi-year service period, with capacity to continue through renewal periods. Subcontracting and community-benefit requirements also apply.
