Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc procured geotechnical clerk of works services for the LT14 Western Isles project. The work is geotechnical engineering support associated with the project in the Western Isles. The clerk of works is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Peat Management Plan and the Peat Landslide Risk Management Plan. The role includes identifying geotechnical risks and reporting incidents at the earliest practical opportunity to the Planning Authority, the Environmental Clerk of Works and the nominated construction project manager. This is a specialist monitoring and assurance service supporting environmental and construction controls on an infrastructure project. The buying organisation is Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc, based in Perth.

The procurement has reached completion and an active award was made under a selective negotiated procedure with a prior call for competition. The award is titled LT14 GCoW Call-off Contract SLR FINAL and relates to the Western Isles project. The associated contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and is active. The procurement records one lot, covering the geotechnical clerk of works requirement; that lot is marked cancelled even though the associated award and contract are active. The published outcome does not state an award value, contract value, contract duration, award date or named successful supplier. The stated basis for the procurement route was a negotiated procedure following competition, rather than an open procedure.

This requirement is relevant to geotechnical consultancies and specialist clerk-of-works providers with experience of infrastructure construction in peatland or landslide-sensitive environments. Credible suppliers would need to assess geotechnical risks on site, monitor compliance with formal peat-management controls and identify issues early enough for construction teams and regulators to respond. The work also requires clear, timely reporting to a Planning Authority, an Environmental Clerk of Works and a nominated construction project manager, so evidence of robust technical reporting and coordination would be important. Businesses with personnel able to provide independent site monitoring, understand peat and peat-slide risk management, and work alongside environmental and construction professionals would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable support.
