Summary of the contracting process

Green Action Trust is seeking a suitably qualified consultant for the Dargavel Burn Restoration and Weir Removal Project. The work covers engineering design services for the Developed and Technical Design stages (RIBA 3 and 4), taking the scheme from concept design to a build-ready technical design. The consultant will develop river restoration, biodiversity and landscape improvements; carry out ecological, environmental and flood-risk assessments and modelling; undertake stakeholder engagement; prepare statutory consents, including EASR and planning permission; and produce NEC4 tender documents for the construction stage. The design must address contaminated land, flood risk and ecological sensitivities, with decisions and risk controls documented. The work is for the Dargavel Burn project in Scotland, with possible support through construction, including project management, design, supervision and ecological and geomorphological services.

The procurement has reached tender: Green Action Trust invited offers using a selective restricted procedure. It is a single-lot competition, with five candidates to be invited to the second stage. Bids must be submitted electronically in English by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The estimated contract duration is 360 days. The estimated value is £350,000. The invitation to participate is scheduled for 30 October 2026. Bids must remain valid until 31 January 2028 at 23:59 UTC. Variants are not permitted. Selection information is set out in the PQQ, including economic and technical requirements. Suppliers must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register, and the evaluation requires staff names and qualifications.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary engineering and environmental design consultancies able to take a river restoration scheme from concept through detailed, construction-ready design. Relevant capability includes river and weir restoration, biodiversity and landscape design, ecological and environmental assessment, flood modelling, contaminated-land and ecological-risk management, stakeholder engagement, statutory consents and preparation of NEC4 construction tender documents. Suppliers should be able to coordinate surveys and investigations, maintain a clear design and risk decision trail, and demonstrate sufficient professional staff for the commission. Firms with experience supporting construction delivery may be well placed for the potential follow-on services, including NEC4 Principal Project Manager, Principal Designer and Supervisor duties, as well as ecological and geomorphological supervision. Participation requires registration in the relevant professional or trade register.
