## Summary

Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is seeking to contract painting services for historical buildings within the Edinburgh and Stirling regions. The tender is part of an open procedure, classified under preservation services of historical buildings, and is at the tendering stage. The process allows for electronic submissions and the contract is expected to commence after bid openings on 27th August 2026. The services are divided into two active lots, one for each region, with a contract period of 720 days; extension options are at HES's discretion. Community benefits, such as local apprenticeships, are encouraged as part of this procurement process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in building preservation and painting services. The split into lots increases the potential for multiple suppliers to engage, supporting regional suppliers' growth. Companies with strong quality and pricing strategies stand a good chance given the equal weighting in award criteria (50% quality, 50% price). Suppliers must also meet specified insurance requirements and undergo financial evaluations facilitated by Scotbis. The contract may be renewed post the initial period, creating longer-term business prospects. This represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on heritage conservation and related services to expand their footprint in the public sector.
