Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise is seeking a supplier for the Grangemouth Strategic Spatial Framework study, an urban planning and infrastructure consultancy service delivered in Grangemouth. The work is intended to create a practical, infrastructure-led and investment-focused tool for decisions about land, infrastructure, sequencing and investment readiness. It is not intended to produce a fixed masterplan or statutory zoning document. The scope includes strategic spatial planning, infrastructure planning and technical planning, with feasibility study and digital mapping elements. The appointed supplier will support investment and development decision-making for the Grangemouth area, working with the requirements set out in the Invitation to Tender.

The procurement has reached tender: Scottish Enterprise invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were required by 8 September 2026 at 11:00, with bid opening and the start of the award period scheduled for 12:00 the same day. The anticipated contract start is around 26 October 2026, for 180 days (six months). The estimated value is between £146,000 and £208,000 excluding VAT, with a maximum stated value of £208,000. There is one lot and variants are not allowed. Evaluation includes methodology and technical approach (40%), project team structure and roles (30%), project management, delivery plan, innovation and added value (25%), Fair Work First (5%), and price (30%); prompt payment is pass/fail where subcontractors are proposed.

This opportunity suits urban planning and spatial strategy consultancies able to combine land-use planning with infrastructure, investment and delivery advice. Strong candidates will be able to develop practical frameworks rather than only statutory plans, and demonstrate a credible methodology, technical approach and delivery plan. The evaluation places substantial emphasis on the proposed project team, so bidders should be ready to provide staff names and qualifications, defined roles and relevant experience. Innovation and added value are assessed, alongside Fair Work First. Suppliers may bid as a consortium or rely on other entities’ capacity, but the relevant Scottish SPD information is required for each organisation. Proposed subcontractors must also provide the required exclusion declarations.
