Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council has completed the Maritime Mile Design Consultancy tender process, aimed at enhancing the public realm along Irvine Harbourside, called the Maritime Mile. This involves a multidisciplinary consultancy work for the design and administration of civil works, encompassing RIBA stages 2-4, and adhering to Construction Design and Management (CDM) 2015 regulations. The awarded contract was signed on 2nd June 2025 to AtkinsRéalis UK Limited, with a contract value of £149,195. This open procedure falls under the services category, specifically coded as 79415200 in the CPV, targeting regional or local authority projects, and covers the region UKM93, Irvine. The project capital works are estimated at £6m, supporting local tourism through the Ayrshire Growth Deal. Notably, there was an extended deadline for submissions, initially set for 4th March 2025 and later moved to 11th March 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms experienced in delivering high-quality urban design projects and capable of fulfilling roles such as Principal Designer and Contract Administrator. Companies with relevant project management expertise in civil engineering, landscape architecture, and urban design are well-suited to such opportunities. While the lead design consultancy contract has been awarded to a large firm, smaller businesses, especially those skilled in implementing public ancestry improvement projects, can benefit from sub-contracting opportunities or future similar tenders. Furthermore, the focus on multidisciplinary skills opens pathways for collaborations and partnerships, leveraging expertise to deliver comprehensive solutions for substantial infrastructure developments, promoting economic development in Irvine and the broader Ayrshire region.
