Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is leading a project focused on developing and designing active travel improvements in Campbeltown Esplanade and Kinloch Park, as part of their ongoing efforts in enhancing transport systems consultancy services. As of 11th March 2026, the contracting process has reached the award stage, with a contract being actively signed since 10th March 2026. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure under legal basis 32014L0024, further ensuring transparency and competitiveness within this regional initiative. Located in the UKM63 region, interested businesses should note there was a tender deadline on 3rd February 2026, marking an important date for electronic submissions, which this project supported. Community benefits are included in the project requirements, adding a layer of social value to the initiative.

Opportunities abound for businesses specialising in design consultancy services, particularly those experienced with transport systems consultancy. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are strongly encouraged to compete, as evidenced by the successful bid from Connected Transport Planning, which indicates an openness to subcontracting opportunities with a fixed percentage of 45% participation. The confirmed funding options for additional years up to 2034 further promise long-term growth prospects for consultancy firms able to provide innovative and high-quality solutions. Businesses with a keen interest in securing contracts should ensure their readiness in meeting technical and economic selection criteria and be prompt in submitting electronic bids to maximise their chance of success against a backdrop of competitive international submissions.
