The work falls within residential building construction and refurbishment. Suppliers will need to carry out bathroom replacement in occupied homes, with the detailed scope and specification set out in the tender documents. Cairn Housing Association is the buyer and a central purchasing body. The contract is for one lot covering the requirement. Electronic ordering and payment will be available, and performance requirements are set out in the tender documents. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, making it relevant to contractors experienced in housing refurbishment and planned maintenance in northern Scotland. The process has reached tender: Cairn Housing Association invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The buyer set the tender deadline at 16 October 2026, 12:00 UTC; bids were scheduled to be opened at 12:30 UTC the same day. The contract period is 120 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. There is one lot, with no permitted variants and no renewal or additional purchasing option. Evaluation and suitability requirements are set out in the tender documents. The selection criteria require suppliers to meet suitability requirements, while quality is addressed through a quality questionnaire. Bids must be submitted in English. The data does not state an estimated contract value. This opportunity suits building contractors and bathroom refurbishment specialists able to replace bathrooms in occupied social housing while managing resident safety, access and disruption. Relevant experience would include domestic bathroom installation, plumbing, electrical and associated building works, together with the coordination of multiple properties across Thurso and Wick. Suppliers must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work, so bidders need an appropriately qualified delivery team and the capacity to complete 29 bathroom replacements within the specified 120-day period. The quality questionnaire indicates that bidders will need to explain how they will deliver the work, alongside meeting the economic and technical requirements in the tender documents. It may also suit established housing maintenance contractors with experience working for social landlords. ## Notice Replacement of 29 bathrooms in occupied social housing stock (28 properties in Thurso, 1 in Wick). ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564664 | | 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 | 16 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | 16 Oct 2026 | | 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 | 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 | Cairn Housing Association | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Postcode area | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH7 4GH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Leith Walk | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh North and Leith | | Delivery location | TLM61 Caithness and Sutherland, and Ross and Cromarty | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45211310 - Bathrooms construction work ## Release History - 16 Sep 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564664 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564664 Caithness Bathrooms 2026 - Replacement of 29 bathrooms in occupied social housing stock (28 properties in Thurso, 1 in Wick). ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.cairnha.com - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000843217 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=843217 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=843217 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
