Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking civil engineering consultancy services for the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project in Argyll. The consultant will lead, manage and coordinate the work needed to move the road from temporary mitigation arrangements to a permanent, fully engineered solution and then towards a construction contract. The work is based at the A816 Bealach Mor landslip site and covers the project as a whole rather than separate service areas. This is a professional services requirement for a consultancy capable of coordinating technical, project and construction-related activities associated with a significant road landslip scheme. The council is the buying organisation and the intended outcome is a permanent road solution supported by the necessary preparation for construction.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English by 25 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is planned to run for 660 days, with no renewal or additional options. The award period was scheduled to start at the submission deadline, and bids were required to remain valid for 120 days. A public bid opening was scheduled for 25 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Variants are not allowed. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Electronic ordering and payment are provided for, and electronic invoicing is allowed. A document fee applies to participation. The requirement is one lot.

This opportunity suits civil engineering consultancies with the capability to lead and coordinate a road landslip project from temporary mitigation through permanent design and preparation for construction. Suitable suppliers will need to provide staff whose names and professional qualifications can be submitted as part of the bid, alongside evidence addressing the stated economic and technical selection requirements. The work calls for project management, coordination of engineering activities and an understanding of the transition from engineered solution to construction contract. Suppliers should also be prepared to meet the contract’s subcontracting provisions and deliver the specified non-evaluated community benefits. The requirement is likely to suit established infrastructure or transport engineering practices able to assemble and manage a suitably qualified multidisciplinary team for a substantial, technically complex road project.
