Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring a river level monitoring network across Fife. The requirement covers the supply, installation and maintenance of river level monitors, including maintenance of existing water level and flow monitoring sites at 14 locations and installation of monitors at 15 new locations. The work combines monitoring equipment, sensor supply, measuring-equipment installation and related river regulation or flood-control works. It is a services contract managed by Fife Council, with delivery across Fife. The successful supplier will support the council’s network of river monitoring sites, maintaining existing equipment while expanding coverage to additional locations. The requirement also includes electronic ordering, electronic payment and permitted electronic invoicing during contract delivery.

The process has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the amended deadline set for 3 September 2026 at 12:00. Tenders were scheduled to be opened at the same time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The council may require additional purchases in accordance with the applicable Scottish procurement regulations, and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. The procurement is expected to recur in 2031 if the full initial term and extension periods are used. Community benefits may be proposed voluntarily but are not scored.

This opportunity suits suppliers that can provide, install and maintain river level and water-flow monitoring equipment in a distributed network. Relevant capability includes sensor supply, measuring-equipment installation, commissioning, fault diagnosis, planned and reactive maintenance, data or communications support, and work associated with river regulation or flood-control monitoring. Bidders need to demonstrate suitable economic, technical and professional capacity through the selection process, with the detailed requirements set out in the supplier selection documents. Strong candidates are likely to have experience maintaining multiple monitoring sites, extending operational networks and working reliably in outdoor or water-management environments. The requirement includes community benefits, allowing tenderers to offer voluntary proposals, although these will not contribute to the evaluation score.
