Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council has awarded a contract for the construction of a new cemetery in Elgin, situated in the UKM62 region, with an estimated value of £2,792,614.76. This project falls under the industry category of General Public Services, specifically focusing on civil engineering works. The procurement process included planning, tender, and award stages. The award was completed with Pat Munro Construction Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), as the supplier. Key deadlines included the tendering phase ending on 25th April 2025 and the signing of the contract on 19th June 2025. The construction must comply with constraints such as the proximity of high-pressure gas mains and ecological factors. The work, classified under CPV codes 45000000 and 45215400, involves earthworks, access roads, drainage, and landscaping, following an open procurement procedure.

This procurement opens up opportunities for businesses involved in civil engineering and construction, particularly those specialising in infrastructure projects and environmental management. It provides a potential growth avenue for SMEs and larger contractors proficient in handling complex site requirements and regulatory constraints. Businesses with experience in earthworks and road construction, as well as those capable of managing ecological concerns, would be well-suited to compete in this tender. Given its size and the technical requirements, the project also allows for subcontracting, offering further growth opportunities for local enterprises in Elgin and surrounding areas. With stringent quality and price criteria, firms achieving high standards in these aspects would have a competitive advantage. This procurement also exemplifies the potential for engagement in public sector projects that require specialist skills and the ability to adhere to public tender regulations.
