The construction will create flexible commercial accommodation for small and medium-sized enterprises, including industrial, storage, workshop and general business units. The wider development includes associated parking, servicing and external yard areas, with a focus on modern, energy-efficient premises and local economic growth. This is a construction works package, classified under CPV 45223210. The appointed contractor is expected to deliver the steelwork and cladding package for the proposed facility, rather than general business-unit construction or property management services. This procurement is at the planning stage: Fife Council has announced its intention to procure and is carrying out preliminary market engagement before issuing a contract notice. The expected procedure has not yet been settled. The estimated contract value is £1,000,000. The council expected to publish the next notice on 9 October 2026. It invited suppliers to complete a voluntary request-for-information questionnaire by 28 August 2026; responses are for understanding market capability and refining the procurement strategy, and will not form part of tender evaluation. The planned package is presented as a single lot covering structural steelwork and cladding design, supply, fabrication and installation. This engagement is not an invitation to tender. The work will suit structural steelwork and building-envelope contractors able to take responsibility across design, material supply, fabrication and installation. Relevant firms are likely to include steelwork specialists, cladding contractors and integrated construction businesses with the capacity to coordinate both disciplines on a commercial development. Preparation should focus on demonstrating experience delivering comparable steel-framed buildings and external cladding packages, including design coordination, fabrication quality, site installation and interface management with the wider construction project. Suppliers able to support modern, energy-efficient commercial premises may be well placed to respond to the council’s stated development objectives. The market engagement is specifically seeking information about supplier capability, so businesses should be ready to explain their technical capacity, delivery approach and relevant project experience before the tender is issued. ## Notice The proposed development at Flemington Road comprises a modern business unit facility designed to provide flexible commercial accommodation for small to medium-sized enterprises. The units will offer high-quality industrial, storage, workshop, and business space with associated parking, servicing, and external yard areas. The development aims to support local economic growth by providing modern, energy-efficient premises suitable for a range of business uses and employment opportunities within the area. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Fife Council intends to tender the design, supply, fabrication and installation of structural steelwork and cladding for an upcoming construction project. The Contracting Authority is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the procurement strategy for structural steelwork and external cladding works. Completion of this RFI is voluntary and does not form part of any tender evaluation. All responses will be treated confidentially and used solely to refine the procurement approach. The purpose of this PIN is to inform the market and gather supplier capability information before issuing the Contract Notice. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562246 | | 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 | 13 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 9 Oct 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,000,000 | | 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 | Fife Council | | Locality | GLENROTHES | | Postcode area | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY7 5LT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Fife | | Electoral ward | Glenrothes Central and Thornton | | Westminster constituency | Glenrothes and Mid Fife | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45223210 - Structural steelworks ## Release History - 13 Aug 2026 at 01:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562246 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=AUG562246&idx=1 13th August 2026 - Steelwork & Cladding RFI - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562246 Structural Steelwork & Cladding Design, Manufacture & Installation Package - The proposed development at Flemington Road comprises a modern business unit facility designed to provide flexible commercial accommodation for small to medium-sized enterprises.
