## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council has concluded an award for the "Mini Competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework - SLC External Fabric Works". This procurement falls under the "General public services" and "Education" categories. The council, headquartered at Almada Street, Hamilton, aims to appoint a contractor to handle various fabric works as part of its Housing and Technical Resources Fabrics Programme. The procurement method used was an open procedure under national framework agreements, with significant deadlines including the tender issue date on 26th January 2024 and contract signing on 3rd June 2024. The awarded contract covers locations within the UKM95 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in fabric works and energy efficiency improvements. The contract, valued at £20,000,000 with an initial tender winning bid of £999,709.75 by GMG Contractors Ltd, seeks a long-term partnership, fostering cost management, quality delivery, and collaborative work practices. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in scaffolding, electrical works, and related external fabric works are particularly well-suited to compete and grow through this project, as underlined by the involvement of subcontractors like Clyde Scaffolding and Barmac Electrical.

## Notice

The Council's Housing and Technical Resources, Consultancy Services, identified a requirement to appoint to suitable contractor to undertake the Housing and Technical Resources Fabrics Programme as the Council aims to efficiently carry out fabric works while ensuring cost-effectiveness, high-quality deliverables, and timely project completion. To address these objectives and align with the Council's Fabrics Programme, it was recommended to transition from the traditional project-by-project approach to a single-source contractor on a term contract basis. This strategic shift will present numerous advantages, enabling the Council to optimise resources, streamline processes, and enhance overall project performance. The primary objective of the proposed contract is to establish a long-term partnership with a single contractor who will be responsible for delivering various fabric works over the specified period. This contractual arrangement promotes continuity, fosters a deeper understanding of the Council's requirements, and encourages collaborative working relationships. By nurturing this partnership, the Council aims to improve work quality, ensure greater adherence to project objectives, and facilitate efficient project management. Cost management is a key objective of this contract, it is essential that cost management measures are effectively implemented into the contract and managed efficiently throughout the duration of the contract period. The Council undertook an options appraisal looking at various national framework - PfH, SPA and Scotland Excel. After carefully reviewing the available procurement options, initiating a mini competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel (SXL) Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework Agreement has been deemed the best and most effective route to market.
