Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council is seeking a contractor to refurbish the music department at Girvan Academy in Girvan. The works centre on the first floor, with associated work elsewhere in the school, including on the ground floor. The scope includes alterations, demolition and asbestos removal; mechanical and electrical work; new partitions, doors and fitted furniture; floor, wall and ceiling finishes; redecoration; suspended ceilings; and replacement of a structural beam on the first floor. This is a building refurbishment and alteration project, including structural work (CPV 45453100). The package is a single set of works for the school rather than a multi-site programme.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 3 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids were scheduled to open at that time. The contract period is 26 March to 21 September 2027. The procurement is arranged as one lot, and variant bids are not permitted. Tenderers must provide staff names and qualifications. Suitability selection criteria are set out in the tender documents. The tender states that community benefits form part of the requirement, with details in the tender package. Electronic payment and ordering are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed. Bids must remain valid for 120 days.

This opportunity is suited to building contractors able to manage a coordinated refurbishment in an operating educational setting, including demolition and asbestos removal, mechanical and electrical services, internal finishes and structural alterations. The work calls for capability across multiple trades, with the ability to sequence work in different parts of the academy and replace a first-floor structural beam alongside the broader fit-out. Suppliers should be prepared to identify the staff assigned to delivery and provide their qualifications. The single-lot scope may suit a principal contractor able to deliver the varied work directly or coordinate specialist subcontractors. Community benefits are part of the requirement, so bidders should review the tender package for the commitments expected. The stated suitability requirements are in the tender documents.
