## Summary

North Ayrshire Council is seeking a contractor to build new retail units at Crofthead, Bourtreehill, Irvine, with associated external works. The construction scope covers bulk earthworks, foundations and ground-floor slab, drainage, a steel frame, roofing, cladding, brickwork and curtain walling, doors, internal finishes, and mechanical and electrical installations. External works include roads, paths, landscaping, drainage and external services. The project also includes demolishing the existing men’s shed, disconnecting utilities and clearing the site. The work is designed and specified in tender drawings and Bills of Quantities. This is a location-specific retail construction project, rather than a supply-only opportunity.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically. The tender sets a submission deadline of 4 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated award period begins at that time. The contract is estimated to run for 360 days, and bids must remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. The stated tender value is £3.6 million. The work is procured as a single, un-lotted package. The selection requirements include confirming relevant professional or trade-register enrolment and any required authorisations or memberships. Bidders must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract. The contract includes key performance indicators, and variant bids are not permitted.

This opportunity suits a principal building contractor able to deliver a complete retail construction project, coordinating groundworks, structural steel, building envelope, internal fit-out, mechanical and electrical services, demolition and external infrastructure. The scope calls for capacity to manage multiple trades and site activities at one location, and experience delivering comparable construction projects would be directly relevant. Bidders need to demonstrate staff capability by naming the personnel assigned and giving their qualifications, and confirm any relevant professional or trade-register status and authorisations. Quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements are required: acceptable evidence includes recognised independent certification or documented management policies, with specified alternatives for health and safety and environmental management. The contract also requires community benefits relating to employment, skills, SMEs, third-sector organisations, education and community priorities, which bidders should be equipped to deliver.
