Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Provision of the Civil and Structural Consultancy Services 2025-2029," focusing on securing a Structural and Civil Engineering consultant. The contract, valued at £800,000, was awarded to RPS Consulting, effective from 16th April 2025. This award was made under a direct award procedure without the prior publication of a call for competition, utilising the Scotland Excel framework. Located in Giffnock, UKM83, the procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting general public services. The procurement method was limited, with a focus on delivering best value for money through a direct award mechanism.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for large-scale consulting firms specialising in civil and structural engineering. Being a recipient of such contracts can substantially enhance business portfolios and reputation within the public sector. Smaller firms or SMEs might find it challenging to compete in such scenarios due to the procurement being a direct award, although it underscores the potential value of framework contracts like Scotland Excel for partnering opportunities. Businesses capable of providing specialised engineering expertise and efficient consultancy services are well-suited to leverage similar future opportunities within the local government infrastructure projects domain.
