## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council has awarded a contract for External Wall Installations (EWI) Fabric Works under the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework. The procurement process was carried out using an open procedure, and the procurement stage is now complete. This project, associated with the Council's Housing and Technical Resources, aims to improve energy efficiency in local housing. The appointed contractor, GMG Contractors Ltd, will manage EWI works under a term contract arrangement, promoting continuity and efficiency. The procurement focused on the region of Hamilton (UKM95) with the contract period commencing on 3 June 2024. A mini-competition was initiated on 26 January 2024, and the project's budget is £20,000,000 for the entire duration, including extension periods.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and energy efficiency improvements. Contractors with expertise in EWI and those capable of offering high-quality, cost-effective, and timely project completions will find this contract advantageous. Subcontracting opportunities are also available, notably for scaffolding and electrical work, with Clyde Scaffolding and Barmac Electrical slated to participate. SMEs that can deliver scalable solutions and collaborate efficiently with the Council’s strategic objectives are well-positioned to benefit from such procurement activities, fostering long-term business growth and partnership opportunities with regional authorities.

## 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 External Wall Installations ("EWI") Fabric Works 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 EWI Fabric Works 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 EWI 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.
