Summary of the contracting process

Cairn Housing Association is procuring demolition and site-clearance works at Morlich Court in Aviemore. The scope includes soft stripping the buildings, removing hazardous materials including asbestos, disconnecting and making safe services, demolishing the structures and clearing the site. The requirement is a single package of works, rather than separate lots. The contractor must manage waste under the approved arrangements, sort recyclable materials for delivery to an approved recycling facility, protect retained trees and comply with an approved, site-specific construction environmental management plan. The work is for the housing association and is to be carried out at the Morlich Court site in Aviemore. The contract is to use the SBCC Minor Works Building Contract (MW/Scot).

The process reached tender: Cairn Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure, with tenders submitted electronically. Bidders were asked to confirm their intention to tender by 19 October 2026. Questions were due by 12 noon on 2 November 2026, and tenders by 12 noon on 9 November 2026. The contract period runs from 11 January to 22 February 2027, stated as six weeks. The tender is evaluated 60% on quality and 40% on price; community benefits account for 5% of the quality assessment. Selection requires completion of the suitability and economic sections of the Single Procurement Document, including average turnover for the last three financial years and confirmation of required insurance. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. Scottish Government approval is a condition of contract award.

This opportunity suits demolition contractors able to undertake structural demolition alongside soft stripping, service disconnections and hazardous-material removal. Asbestos-containing materials must be removed before demolition by an HSE-licensed contractor. The appointed contractor must hold WIRS accreditation and provide Demolition Operations Method Statements and Risk Assessments and Method Statements to Scottish Water before demolition. It will also need to prepare a site-specific Construction Environmental Management Plan for approval by the Cairngorms National Park Authority, protect retained trees under the approved Tree Protection Plan, and manage and recycle waste through approved facilities. Bidders should be able to demonstrate relevant experience, references, suitable key personnel and a credible technical approach through their quality submission. Quality proposals also need to include deliverable community benefits, such as local apprentices or staff, school visits, or donations to local projects.
