Summary of the contracting process

Annan Harbour Action Group commissioned main contractor works for the redevelopment of Annan Harbour in Annan. The scope covers managing the repair and conversion of Collett’s Building into a museum and café, installing a new dam, bridge and lagoon, and improving the surrounding landscape, access and facilities. This is a substantial civil engineering and building project, classified under CPV 45220000. The buyer is a Scottish charitable incorporated organisation whose stated purpose is to revitalise the local area, promote harbour use and raise public awareness of the harbour as a community resource. The works include building refurbishment, harbour and water infrastructure, civil engineering, landscaping and access improvements, delivered at the harbour site in Annan.

The procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure and an initial quality-only pre-qualification questionnaire stage. Two electronic bids were received, including one from an SME. Cubby Construction Ltd was selected, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 18 March 2026 for GBP 10,111,000; the original estimated value was GBP 10,000,000. The contract period runs from 5 January 2026 to 20 December 2027. The PQQ submission deadline was 22 August 2025 at 12:00, with bid opening at 12:30 in Cupar. Assessment was based entirely on quality, with quality weighted at 100% and price at 0%. The five highest-scoring firms passing the required thresholds were to be invited to tender, with tender issue planned for 15 September 2025 and returns due by 21 November 2025.

This procurement indicates demand for an integrated main contractor able to manage a complex harbour redevelopment combining heritage or public-building refurbishment with marine, civil engineering, water-management, bridge, lagoon, landscape and access works. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to coordinate multiple construction disciplines, manage interfaces between building and waterfront works, and deliver safely in an environmentally and technically constrained setting. Relevant experience in refurbishment, structural and civil engineering, harbour or marine infrastructure, flood-risk work, drainage, landscaping and public-facing facilities would strengthen a submission. The process also shows that the buyer values demonstrable quality above price and uses a pre-qualification threshold before inviting the strongest candidates to tender. Firms should be able to provide named staff and professional qualifications, meet suitability requirements and submit electronically in English.
