Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council is procuring a service to maintain technical department equipment across all its high schools. The work covers inspection, servicing and repair of equipment used for technical education; the classified service areas include electrical, laboratory and other technical equipment maintenance. Delivery is in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland. This is relevant to maintenance contractors with the technical breadth to support equipment across multiple school sites, rather than suppliers offering a single item or a general facilities service. The council is the buyer and manages the procurement. The requirement is grouped as one lot, covering the high schools’ technical department equipment as a whole, so bidders should be able to address the overall requirement rather than select individual packages.

The council invited offers through an open procedure, and the process reached the tender stage. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 30 October 2026 at 12:00 noon; the stated bid opening time was the same. The contract period is 1,800 days. The contract value is not stated in the procurement data. There is one lot, with no option to renew or make additional purchases, and variant bids are not allowed. Economic and financial standing is assessed pass or fail: bidders need general annual turnover of at least £100,000 in each of the last three years and the required insurance cover. Technical assessment requires relevant service examples from the previous three years; inadequate or irrelevant responses fail. The contract is expected to be retendered in 2031.

This opportunity suits established equipment maintenance businesses able to service a varied range of technical equipment used in high schools and manage delivery across multiple sites in East Dunbartonshire. Suppliers must demonstrate relevant experience from public or private sector clients within the previous three years, with examples explaining the client and location, service delivery and outcomes. Financial capacity is a threshold: bidders must meet the stated turnover test and hold, or commit to obtain before contract start, professional indemnity insurance of £5 million per claim and in aggregate, employers’ liability of £10 million per claim, and public liability of £5 million per claim. Responses that fail the council’s pass/fail selection tests are excluded. The single-lot scope favours providers able to cover the schools’ equipment requirement as a whole.
