The requirement covered replacement floodlighting around the Waste Management Shed and Grounds Maintenance Shed, additional lighting on the Main Office building, and additional lighting on the external elevation of the Wash Bay. It also included replacing lighting column heads across the site and installing additional complete lighting columns. This is electrical installation work, including electrical wiring and fitting. The work required an experienced electrical contractor and concerned improvements to lighting across operational depot buildings, external areas and access or working spaces. The council is the buying organisation and the delivery location is Ayr, South Ayrshire. The procurement has been awarded following a Quick Quote process. Fortress Security Alarms Ltd was selected as the supplier, with an award value of £59,216.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The associated contract is recorded as active. Four bids were received. The award covers the complete external lighting upgrade requirement at Walker Road Depot, including floodlighting replacement, additional building and wash-bay lighting, replacement column heads and new lighting columns. The published outcome records the successful supplier and award value, but does not set out a contract start or end date, an evaluation weighting, lot structure, or additional participation conditions. The process therefore provides a clear award outcome and scope, rather than a timetable for future delivery. This procurement indicates demand from South Ayrshire Council for contractors able to deliver practical electrical lighting upgrades across an operational depot site. A credible competitor for a similar future requirement would need experience in external lighting installation, electrical wiring and electrical fitting, together with the capacity to work across multiple buildings and external areas. Relevant capability would include replacing floodlights and lighting column heads, installing complete new lighting columns, and integrating additional lighting on offices and wash-bay elevations. Suppliers should be able to manage a coordinated site-wide upgrade rather than a single isolated fitting job. The successful outcome also shows that an electrical contractor with a security-alarm business profile competed successfully for this type of works requirement. ## Notice South Ayrshire Council (SAC) has a requirement for a suitably experienced Electrical Contractor to replace floodlighting around two (2) buildings - Waste Management Shed and Grounds Maintenance Shed, additional lighting on the Main Office building, additional lighting on the external elevation of the Wash Bay, replacement of lighting column heads throughout the site and additional lighting columns (complete) to be installed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP563590 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | 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 | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 2 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £59,216 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | South Ayrshire Council | | Additional buyers | Argyll and Bute Council; Dumfries and Galloway Council; East Lothian Council; Fife Council; Glasgow Caledonian University; Lothian NHS Board; NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde; Perth & Kinross Council; Registers of Scotland; Scottish Government; The City of Edinburgh Council; The Highland Council | | Locality | AYR | | Postcode area | Kilmarnock | | Postcode | KA7 1DR | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM9 Southern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM94 South Ayrshire | | Local authority | South Ayrshire | | Electoral ward | Ayr West | | Westminster constituency | Ayr, Carrick and Cumnock | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 28 | | Supplier names | Fortress Security Alarms Ltd; Holyrood PR; Nuffield Health; Spire Healthcare; Laser Vision Scotland Ltd; Circle Health Group Limited; Tropical Health Consulting LLP; Harley Haddow Limited; Virgin Media Business; ac's taxis; Bodyshop Edinburgh; atholl carriers; APEM Ltd; William Waugh & Sons (Builders) Ltd; Valuta; C and A interiors; RSK Environment Ltd.; Optimal Economics; Building Research Establishment Ltd; thermo fisher scientific; Sangster Electrical Ltd; Synaptik; CSS Europe Limited; Venesky Brown Ltd; Richard Irvin FM Limited; D.R.
