## Summary

The public procurement contracting process involved South Lanarkshire Council, which sought to appoint two backup contractors for refurbishment works on void properties. This initiative, titled "Back Up Void Contractor – Refurbishment Works," aimed to address a backlog caused by Covid-19 restrictions that prevented internal staff from undertaking necessary repairs. The procurement method employed was an open procedure under the category of works. The contract, valued at £500,000, was signed on 3rd September 2021, and the work is to be carried out in South Lanarkshire over a six-month period, with an optional six-month extension.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and refurbishment, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to manage multiple projects simultaneously. Companies with experience in general public services and housing amenities, along with the capability to collaborate efficiently, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. The successful delivery of this pilot project could lead to further procurement exercises for longer-term contracts, enhancing future growth prospects for participating businesses.

## Notice

The Council identified a requirement to appoint 2 backup contractors to assist with the backlog of void properties to be reinstated to allow the reduction of loss of rent revenue. This work is traditionally carried out in-house by Housing and Technical Resources, Building Services operatives. However, due to the Covid 19 restrictions, operatives were not allowed to carry out the required works in void properties which has resulted in a backlog of work, therefore 2 backup contractors were required to support Building Services. Building Services are conducting a Pilot Project to outsource 12 void properties to 2 contractors to work simultaneously to complete the required works within those properties. If the Pilot Project is successful, a further procurement exercise will be conducted to procure a longer term contract.
