Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd commissioned Designer and Principal Designer services for the Ardrossan Harbour Redevelopment Project. The requirement covered civil engineering consultancy, including design development, marine engineering advice, surveys and investigations management, stakeholder engagement, business case support and design support during construction. The appointed provider would perform the Designer and Principal Designer roles under the CDM 2015 Regulations. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction works or the supply of goods. Delivery was centred on Ardrossan, supporting the redevelopment of the harbour and its associated infrastructure. The procurement was classified as civil engineering consultancy services. It was a single requirement covering the full service scope rather than separate work packages.

The procurement has reached an awarded outcome, although the tender and its single lot are recorded as cancelled. Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a further competition under Lot 7 of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework Agreement, reference 1025. The stated award criterion was price. Wallace Stone LLP received the active award. A contract associated with that award was signed on 9 September 2026 for £1,445,104 including the stated currency of GBP. The award record is active, while another award record is marked unsuccessful and discontinued. The contracting process was published on 11 September 2026, and the requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For firms assessing future harbour and infrastructure work for this buyer, the procurement demonstrates demand for an integrated design consultancy capable of taking responsibility for both Designer and Principal Designer duties under CDM 2015. Credible competitors would need practical marine and civil engineering expertise, the capacity to coordinate design development and manage surveys and investigations, and the ability to engage stakeholders. The requirement also favours teams that can contribute to business-case preparation and remain involved during construction to provide design support. Experience of complex harbour redevelopment or comparable marine infrastructure would help demonstrate relevance. Suppliers should be able to combine technical consultancy, regulatory design responsibility, project coordination and construction-phase responsiveness within one service team.
