## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Cairn Housing Association involves the redecoration of external and communal areas across 624 social housing properties in the South Region, spanning areas from Borders to Angus. This initiative falls under the sector of housing and community amenities. Cairn Housing Association, based in Edinburgh, has adopted an open procedure method to facilitate the procurement of these works. Key dates within the process included the signing of the contract on 28th January 2026, with the procurement award process commencing shortly after the tender closing date on 5th December 2025. The procurement stage reached completion, with the contract now active as of March 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and decoration services, particularly for SMEs, given the scope and spread across various local authority areas in Scotland. Trident Maintenance Services Ltd, an SME based in Bellshill, has secured the contract, suggesting that companies with proven capabilities in handling large-scale decoration projects could successfully compete in similar opportunities. The project encourages electronic submissions and requires staff qualifications, thereby benefiting firms with substantial expertise and resources in managing complex logistical tasks. Engaging in such public procurement contracts can significantly enhance business profiles and open doors to future opportunities within the housing association sector.
