Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council procured engineering and technical consultancy services for feasibility work on three active travel schemes: Kirriemuir to Forfar, School Road in Tealing, and Brechin to Montrose. The requirement covers civil engineering consultancy supporting the development and assessment of active travel projects. The work is associated with locations in and around Kirriemuir, Forfar, Tealing, Brechin and Montrose. Angus Council was the buying organisation. The procurement falls within the services category and is classified as civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000). This is therefore relevant to firms providing transport, highways, active travel, infrastructure or civil engineering consultancy, particularly those able to undertake feasibility work across several schemes for a Scottish local authority.

The procurement has been awarded following a competitive selection procedure under the Scotland Excel Framework for Engineering and Technical Consultancy Services, reference 0820. Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited was selected for the work at an awarded value of £15,000. The award was recorded against the requirement and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 12 June 2022. Three bids were recorded. The available outcome information identifies one awarded supplier and one award value. The procurement was structured as a framework work-package competition rather than an open standalone tender, so the relevant route for future comparable requirements is experience and access to the applicable Scotland Excel framework arrangements.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting Angus Council’s active travel consultancy requirements: the buyer uses a framework work-package route to obtain focused feasibility support for multiple schemes. A credible competitor would need civil engineering consultancy capability and practical experience in active travel, transport infrastructure or highway development. The requirement is suited to firms able to assess several geographically separate schemes and turn technical analysis into feasible project options for a local authority. Framework eligibility and the ability to respond efficiently to competitive work-package selections would also be important. Larger multidisciplinary consultancies and specialist active travel or civil engineering practices could position themselves for similar requirements by demonstrating relevant feasibility methods, dependable project delivery and public-sector consultancy experience.
