Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking a civil engineering consultancy to lead, manage and coordinate the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project in Argyll. The work covers moving from the existing temporary mitigation arrangements to a permanent, fully engineered road solution, and progressing the subsequent construction contract. Delivery is at the A816 Bealach Mor landslip site in Argyll. This is a services requirement for a consultant capable of coordinating the activities needed to develop and advance a permanent road solution. The council is the buying organisation, based in Lochgilphead. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement and concerns civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000).

The process reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00 noon, following an amendment requested by a tenderer; tenders were due to be opened at the same time. The evaluation and award period was scheduled to start at the deadline. The contract is for 660 days. There is one lot and variants are not allowed. A document participation fee applies. Bids must be submitted electronically in English and remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. The procurement uses electronic ordering and payment, with electronic invoicing allowed. A sub-contract clause applies. Community benefits are required on a non-evaluated basis.

This opportunity suits civil engineering consultancies with the capability to lead and coordinate a complex landslip and road infrastructure project through development into construction procurement. Suppliers should be able to manage the activities needed to define a permanent, fully engineered road solution and prepare the resulting construction contract. The requirement calls for named staff and their professional qualifications, so bidders need an identified team whose roles and credentials can be set out in the offer. Experience coordinating multidisciplinary engineering, project development and infrastructure delivery would be directly relevant to the scope. Organisations planning to use subcontractors should be prepared to comply with the included subcontracting provisions. Suppliers must also be able to address the specified community benefits, although these benefits are not evaluated.
