Summary of the contracting process

SSE plc procured consultancy services for project, commercial and contract management. The scope covered commercial and contract management consultancy, including procurement and quantity surveying services, and project or programme management consultancy. The work relates to SSE’s electricity activities and is to be delivered across the UK for commercial and contract management, with project and programme management also covering Ireland. The buying organisation is SSE plc, based in Perth. The procurement was divided between a commercial and contract management requirement and a project or programme management requirement. It therefore suits consultancies providing advisory, commercial management, contract management, quantity surveying, project management or programme management services for major energy-sector work across both jurisdictions.

The procurement used a selective restricted procedure and is complete. Its estimated total value was £5,000,000. The tender submission deadline was 31 October 2024 at 12:00 UTC, and submissions were electronic in English. The commercial and contract management lot is recorded as cancelled, although nine active awards and contracts are recorded against it: Rowfield Commercial, Accenture UK, Turner & Townsend Infrastructure, Gardiner & Theobald, Stantec UK, Long O’Donnell Associates, Doig & Smith, AtkinsRéalis and Arcadis. Their contracts were signed separately between 27 February and 20 August 2026. The project or programme management lot is recorded as active. The published evaluation information identifies supplier suitability as the selection criterion and records 26 bids for the commercial lot.

This procurement shows recurring demand from SSE for substantial consultancy support across electricity-related project, commercial and contract management. A credible competitor would need capability in commercial and contract management, procurement consultancy, quantity surveying, and project or programme management, with the ability to support work across the UK and Ireland where relevant. The selected supplier group consisted of established large organisations and specialist consultancies, indicating that SSE’s requirement can accommodate both broad multidisciplinary firms and focused commercial or infrastructure advisers. Relevant experience of complex energy or infrastructure programmes, strong contract and commercial controls, quantity surveying expertise, and the capacity to resource several concurrent assignments would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be comfortable with a selective, restricted procurement route and electronic tendering.
