The market engagement does not form part of the formal procurement process and will not impact on the evaluation of any future procurement procedure. The purpose of this PIN is to gather market interest and information to inform the procurement strategy and approach to Renewal of existing carbon steel pipework distributing heating and hot water within the common areas/landings of occupied multi storey blocks at the Calside Estate, Paisley ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal of existing carbon steel pipework distributing heating and hot water within the common areas/landings of occupied multi storey blocks at the Calside Estate, Paisley. (Union Court, Hamilton Court, Calside Court and Rowan Court). Sections of the original carbon steel system was retained when the biomass district heating was first installed. These legacy pipes have since suffered severe internal corrosion leading to thinning pipe-walls, leaks and frequent bursts. Continuous topping up of the system has introduced air and fresh water, accelerating the corrosion and causing ongoing water/heating service disruption to residents. The proposed project will deliver a comprehensive renewal of the distribution pipework within the common areas/landings of the multi storey blocks, replacing it with stainless steel risers and plastic laterals (compatible with the existing biomass energy centre). Works will include design, isolation, installation, testing, commissioning, water treatments and reinstatement of fire-rated containment where required. All properties within the blocks will remain occupied throughout the project, with Renfrewshire Councils Technical Team managing the works and acting as the main liaison between the appointed contractor and residents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC545185 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 22 Jan 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | RENFREWSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | PAISLEY | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA1 1JB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM33 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | | Local authority | Renfrewshire | | Electoral ward | Paisley East and Central | | Westminster constituency | Paisley and Renfrewshire South | | Delivery location | TLM83 Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire, and Renfrewshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 09 - Petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 09323000 - District heating - 44163121 - Heating pipes - 45231112 - Installation of pipe system - 45232150 - Works related to water-distribution pipelines ## Release History - 8 Dec 2025 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC545185 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545185&idx=1 8th December 2025 - PIN - Biomass District Heating Multi-Storey Pipework Renewal - RC-CPU-25-146 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC545185 Biomass District Heating - Multi-Storey Pipework Renewal, Calside Estate, Paisley - As part of preparation work for a future procurement procedure, Renfrewshire Council (the "Council") would like to invite your organisation to participate in this market consultation engagement exercise.
