## Summary

South Ayrshire Council has concluded the procurement process for a framework agreement to execute external fabric upgrade works on council-owned residential properties across South Ayrshire. The procurement falls under the construction industry, specifically for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses (CPV code 45211000). With an award contract signed on 1st April 2025, the procurement method used was an open procedure, ensuring transparency and competitive bidding. Three contractors, Ailsa Building Contractors Limited, GMG Contractors Ltd, and Hugh LS McConnell Limited, have been appointed for the works, with the contract valued at £11,000,000. The procurement stage is currently in the Award phase, with the status marked as active.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for companies specializing in building construction work, particularly those experienced with residential property upgrades and maintenance. Companies that possess certifications in PAS2030 and have competences verified by CITB, OfTEC, or GasSafe would be well-placed to compete. The framework agreement allows for the participation of multiple contractors, increasing opportunities for large-scale firms to gain substantial contracts over a period potentially lasting up to two years with renewal options. This can enhance their portfolio, credibility, and market presence in the South Ayrshire region.
