Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council is seeking a contractor to service, maintain and repair swimming-pool and spa-pool plant, including associated water-treatment systems across its properties in North Ayrshire. The work covers planned inspections, servicing, testing and certification of pool equipment, as well as reactive and emergency repairs to keep facilities operating safely and efficiently. This is a specialist building-services maintenance requirement involving pool plant and water-treatment systems. The contract is location-specific and is not divided into lots. The council is the buyer; the requirement is for its own properties in the North Ayrshire area.

The council invited offers through an open tender procedure. The process reached the tender stage, with bids due by 27 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to start on 17 January 2027 and run for three years, with an optional extension of up to 24 months at the council’s discretion, subject to performance and funding. The estimated value is £400,000. Quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation and cost for 60%. Bidders must meet the suitability requirements and provide the information requested in the Single Procurement Document; exclusion grounds under Scottish procurement regulations may apply. The contract is to use the SBCC Measured Term Contract (MTC / Scot 2019), the council’s exit terms and its additional contract terms. Variants are not permitted.

This opportunity suits a contractor with practical experience maintaining swimming-pool and spa-pool plant and associated water-treatment systems, including planned servicing, testing and certification, and the capacity to respond to reactive and emergency faults across multiple council properties. Bidders must provide staff names and qualifications. The council requires documented quality, health and safety, and environmental management: acceptable routes include accredited certification to ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 respectively, or the specified equivalent policies and alternatives. For health and safety, a qualifying recent assessment under a construction-related SSIP scheme is also accepted; for environmental management, a valid EMAS certificate or equivalent is an alternative. Community benefits are sought on a voluntary basis in employment, skills, SMEs, third-sector organisations, education and local community priorities.
