2.3 Note that any intended further call off contracts from £50K utilising the FA for
Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors, will be brought to the Tendering
Committee to seek approval to award.   
3. Background
3.1 Building Services provides a quality 24 / 7 / 365 service to Council owned
operational and non-operational properties and is responsible for repairs to
common elements in mixed tenure blocks and local Registered Social
Landlords.  Building Services will continue to carry out as much of the repairs
and maintenance work as possible using in-house resources. Where this is not
possible sub-contractors and specialist contractors are utilised as appropriate. 
3.2 The period of the budget is for four years. The budget was set and approved by
Council at its meetings on March 2021 and March 2022.  Elected Members
approved the request to undertake procurement and tendering activities at the
IRED committee meeting on 17 November 2021. 
3.3 These procurement exercises have been conducted in accordance with the
Council’s Standing Orders and Financial Regulations and the Public
Procurement Regulations.  A Contract Strategy document was also approved
on 25 February 2022. 
4. Main Issues
4.1 The Corporate Procurement Unit (CPU) published a Prior Information Notice
containing a market research questionnaire looking to understand the supply
base to inform the Council’s lotting structure, with a particular focus to engage
with as many local small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) as
possible.  The CPU advertised the market research questionnaire on the
Council’s Social Media pages, informed the local Chamber of Commerce to
highlight the opportunities locally; provided information about the Supplier
Development Programme (SDP), which helps businesses that have little or no
experience of tendering and are often too small to have dedicated bid / tender
resources to contemplate bidding for public sector contracts. 
Page 45

Page 8

4.2 Due to the range of different requirements of this procurement activity there
were a number of procurement routes that could be utilised that could offer best
value for the Council, however these are time-bound.  The contracts need to be
in place for August 2022 due to the current contracts coming to an end: 
• There was no Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to use  - setting-up a
DPS was discounted due to the increased resource required to do this;
and
• Implementing individual contracts was discounted because the service
requires the flexibility to adapt to matters arising which may include having
immediate access to additional contractors (in accordance with the Public
Procurement Regulations).   
4.3 The Contract Strategy determined that the best procurement route was a
blended approach with a mixture of collaborative FAs being utilised where
available and setting up a Council FA for the rest of the requirements.  When
FA is identified as the best procurement route, a mini competition is one of the
procedures for awarding contracts.  A mini competition is a process where the
FA has not identified the best value contractor.  Thus a further competition
based on refined requirements is conducted with all suitable contractors to
determine which contractor is the most economically advantageous contractor. 
4.5.1 The contract for Asbestos Surveys utilising the SXL FA for Asbestos Related  
Works and Services: A mini competition was issued on 11 March 2022 to all 23
contractors who could meet the Council’s requirements, with four contractors
expressing an interest and with four contractors submitting a response by 1
April 2022. The submission was evaluated by representatives from Building
Services, Corporate Asset Services and the CPU against a set of award criteria
which was based on a Commercial / Quality ratio of 70% / 30%.  Appendix 1
provides the scores relative to the award criteria. 
4.5.2 It is recommended that the contract is awarded to Environtec Ltd, Hamilton,
who has provided the most economically advantageous mini competition. The
contract shall be for a period of two years at a budget of £192,000 ex VAT with
the option to extend the period by another two x one year with the four year
budget being £384,000 ex VAT.  The estimated commencement date of the
contract is 9 August 2022. 
4.5.3 Environtec Ltd promotes Fair Working Practices across their organisation.
Further, Appendix 7a details the additional social benefits that Environtec Ltd
has committed to deliver as part of this contract.  The social benefits will be
discussed at the implementation meeting with Environtec Ltd and actions to
take these forward will be agreed.

contractor expressing an interest and with one contractor submitting a
response by 1 April 2022. The submission was evaluated by representatives

4.8.1 The contract for UPVC Windows & Doors and Improvements utilising the SPA
FA for Whole House Refurbishment and Associated Works: A mini competition
was issued on 11 March 2022 to all three contractors who could meet the
Council’s requirements, with three contractors expressing an interest and with
two contractors submitting a response by 8 April 2022. The submission was

and the CPU against a set of award criteria which was based on a Commercial
/ Quality ratio of 40% / 60%.  Appendix 4 provides the scores relative to the
award criteria. 
4.8.2 It is recommended that the contract is awarded to Sidey Ltd, Perth, who has
provided the most economically advantageous mini competition. The contract
shall be for a period of two years at a budget of £1,400,000 ex VAT with the
option to extend the period by another two x one year with the four year budget

implementation meeting with Sidey Ltd and actions to take these forward will be
agreed. 
4.9.1 The FA for Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors: A contract notice was
published on the Public Contracts Scotland advertising portal on 3 March 2022.
102 potential bidders expressed an interest, with 18 bidders submitting a
response by the deadline on 6 April 2022.  The submissions were evaluated by
representatives from Building Services, Corporate Asset Services and the CPU
and against pre-determined selection criteria forming part of the published
tender documents which assessed competence, experience and capacity.   
4.9.2 For Lot 5 - Electrical Specialist Including Entry Systems and Alarms, due to
certain ambiguity within the specification, the evaluation panel deemed that
they could not evaluate bids on a like for like basis and so opted to remove this
Lot. There was no bids received by the deadline for Lot 6 - Commercial HVAC
Including General Mechanical Specialists and for Lot 7 - Laundry Equipment. 
Feedback from the market indicated that this was due to time constraints,
ongoing challenges with other tender activity and the specifications did not fully
a line with some bidders core business. These contracts will progress
separately and will be presented to the Tendering Committee at a later date. 
4.9.3 18 submissions passed the selection criteria and these were then evaluated
against a set of award criteria which was based on a Price / Quality ratio of
60% / 40%.  Appendix 5a to 5h provides the scores relative to the award
criteria.

4.9.4 It is recommended that the FA is awarded to the Contractors outlined in
paragraph 2.1.e).  The FA for Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors shall
be for a period of two years at a budget of £10,146,500 ex VAT with the option
to extend the period by another two x one year with the four year budget being

August 2022.
4.10.1 Contracts utilising the FA for Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors
Each Lot of the FA for Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors will be on a
ranked basis.  Subject to the FA for Subcontractors and Specialist Contractors
being approved, each Lot will have a contract awarded to the 1st ranked
contractor on every Lot.  However, if the 1st ranked contractor wasn’t able to
contract due to capacity or capability, the 2nd ranked contractor will be
awarded the contract; and so on.  The estimated commencement date of the
contracts is from 10 August 2022.  Appendix 6 provides detail on the
contracts. 
4.10.2 Appendix 7b details the additional social benefits that the contractors have
committed to deliver as part of these contracts.  The social benefits will be

WEST DUNBARTONSHIRE COUNCIL
Report by Chief Officer – Supply, Distribution and Property
Tendering Committee: 8 June 2022
___________________________________________________________________
Subject: Delegated Authority to Approve Contract Awards during Summer
Recess – Provision of Insurance Services (including Claims
Handling) for West Dunbartonshire Council and West
Dunbartonshire Leisure Trust. 
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this report is to advise the Tendering Committee of proposals to
approve the award of the contracts for the Provision of Insurance Services
(including Claims Handling) for the Council and the Leisure Trust as detailed
during the summer recess.
2. Recommendations
2.1 It is recommended that the Tendering Committee:
a) Grants delegated authority to the Chief Officer – Resources, to approve
the award of the contracts detailed in Appendix A during the summer
recess; and
b) Authorise the Chief Officer - Regulatory and Regeneration to conclude on
behalf of the Council and the Leisure Trust, the award of the contracts
detailed in the Appendix A; and
c) Notes that a report detailing the outcome will be submitted to the next
appropriate Tendering Committee for noting, in accordance with Standing
Orders 35(b) iv.
3. Background
3.1 The Council and the Leisure Trust require a number of insurance policies to
ensure sound business practice as well as meeting any statutory requirements
where necessary.
3.2 The procurement exercise for the insurance requirements are being conducted
in accordance with Public Procurement Regulations, the Council’s Standing
Orders and Financial Regulations. A Contract Strategy document was also
approved on 10 March 2022.
4. Main Issues
4.1 Two procurement routes were considered, an open tender or a mini
competition utilising a Crown Commercial Services collaborative dynamic
purchasing system.  Due to the time constraints the only viable option was to
procure through a mini competition.
4.2 A mini competition invite was issued to the 22 insurance providers on the
ITEM 13
Page 69

Page 32

dynamic purchasing system on 3 May 2022 with a response by 31 May 2022.
The submissions are being evaluated by representatives from the Insurance
Team, the Leisure Trust, Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers and the
Corporate Procurement Unit against a set of award criteria which is based on
Commercial / Quality ratio of 60% / 40% for each of the 13 Insurance lots. 
4.3 The report detailing the outcome that shall be submitted to the next appropriate
Tendering Committee, will also detail:
• Provider for each lot;
• Contract Value (Pre Extension);
• Contract Value (Including Extension);
• Commitment to the real Living Wage; and
• Commitment to Social Benefits
5. People Implications
5.1 There are no people implications.
6. Financial and Procurement Implications
6.1 Financial costs in respect of these contracts will be met from the approved
budget of Resources.
6.2 The procurement exercise will be conducted in accordance with the agreed
Contract Strategy produced by the Corporate Procurement Unit in close
consultation with the Insurance Team, the Leisure Trust, and Arthur J
Gallagher Insurance Brokers officers and the provisions of Contract Standing
Orders, the Financial Regulations and Public Procurement Regulations.
7. Risk Analysis
7.1 The implications of holding these contract awards until the Tendering
Committee reconvenes, will delay the Council from having the appropriate
insurance provision in place and could leave the Council to significant financial
implications and reputational ramifications.
7.2 The Corporate Procurement Unit will ensure that the successful providers have
no known links to Serious and Organised Crime which would have significant
political and reputational ramifications for the Council.
7.3 Should the Tendering Committee decide not to proceed as recommended then
this will delay the provision of insurance cover which may have financial
implications and reputational ramifications.
8. Equalities Impact Assessment (EIA)
8.1 An equalities screening was undertaken for this report to determine if there is
an equalities impact. The results where there is no equalities impact.
9. Consultation
