The works fall within the construction sector (CPV 45000000). The project covers a series of improvements across these streets; the stated requirement is for a contractor to take responsibility for delivering the construction works. The buyer is the Council, and the delivery location is Alexandria, in West Dunbartonshire. This is a suitable opportunity for construction firms with experience in public realm or comparable infrastructure and streetscape projects, subject to the financial, insurance and experience thresholds set out for participation. The Council invited offers through a tender using an open procedure. The submission deadline was 3 November 2026 at 12:00, with the evaluation period starting at that time. The estimated contract value is £1,030,000, and the contract period is 720 days. The procurement is arranged as one lot, with variant bids not permitted. Economic and financial standing requirements include annual turnover above £2,060,000 in each of the previous two years and a pass in at least two of three financial ratios: acid test above 1, positive return on capital employed, and current ratio above 1. Required insurance includes employers’ liability of £10 million per claim, public and product liability of £10 million per claim, and professional indemnity of £5 million per claim. Evaluation requires three relevant project examples demonstrating experience and capacity. This opportunity is best suited to an established main contractor able to manage public realm construction works in a town-centre street environment and demonstrate delivery of similar projects. Bidders need the operational capacity to provide three relevant examples showing both experience and capacity for this type of work. The financial threshold favours businesses with substantial turnover and adequate balance-sheet performance; a parent company guarantee may support a bidder whose own financial position does not meet the criteria, subject to the Council’s assessment. Contractors must hold, or be able to obtain before contract commencement, the specified employers’, public and product liability, and professional indemnity cover. Firms with the required financial standing, insurance and comparable project track record are therefore the strongest fit. ## Notice West Dunbartonshire Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a main construction contractor for the delivery of a series of public realm improvement works throughout Main Street and Mitchell Way in Alexandria. ### Lot Information Lot 1 West Dunbartonshire Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a main construction contractor for the delivery of a series of public realm improvement works throughout Main Street and Mitchell Way in Alexandria. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565852 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 3 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,030,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | West Dunbartonshire Council | | Locality | DUMBARTON | | Postcode area | Glasgow | | Postcode | G82 1QL | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM3 West Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM31 East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire | | Local authority | West Dunbartonshire | | Electoral ward | Dumbarton | | Westminster constituency | West Dunbartonshire | | Delivery location | TLM81 East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, and Helensburgh and Lomond | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 2 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565852 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT565852 Main Street and Mitchell Way Public Realm Improvement Project - West Dunbartonshire Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint a main construction contractor for the delivery of a series of public realm improvement works throughout Main Street and Mitchell Way in Alexandria. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 - http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/business/suppliers/procurement/ - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000834206 - https://www.publictendersscotland.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
