Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking to appoint an experienced design team for the completion of the Developed Design (stage 3) and Technical Design (stage 4) for the Places for Everyone (PfE) fund, primarily for the Helensburgh, Cardross, and Dumbarton cycle path. The tender falls under the industry category of general public services and the location of the project is within the UKM81 region. The tender procurement method is an open procedure, and the procurement stage is currently complete. The contract, valued at £380,295 GBP, was awarded on 19th February 2025 to Connected Transport Planning, with the design covering two phases from Helensburgh to Dumbarton. Key dates include the tender period ending on 6th December 2024 and contract commencement on 27th January 2025, concluding by 31st March 2025, with potential extensions based on funding availability.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the professional design and technical consultancy sector, especially those specialising in urban planning and transportation design. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant experience in cycle path development and technical design stand to benefit greatly from this project. The completion of this project will likely necessitate subcontracting, creating further business prospects for various suppliers of related services. Engaging in this tender not only provides a substantial contract value but also the potential for future collaboration with Argyll and Bute Council on subsequent projects, fostering sustainable business growth and expanding portfolios in the public services sector.
