Summary of the contracting process

Walk Wheel Cycle Trust commissioned engineering and design services for the Elderslie for Everyone Phase 2.1 project in Elderslie, Renfrewshire. The work is intended to progress active travel and placemaking proposals from RIBA Stage 2 design through to RIBA Stage 4. This is a professional services requirement covering the development of design proposals and associated engineering work for the project. The procurement is classified under CPV 71320000, engineering design services. Sustrans Scotland is also identified as a buyer and central purchasing body involved in the process. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and multidisciplinary practices able to deliver detailed design and engineering for active travel, public realm and placemaking schemes, particularly those working through the later RIBA design stages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. One lot covered the design and engineering services, with no variants or renewal option. Mott MacDonald Limited was selected for the lot, and the contract is active. The award-stage activity began on 28 August 2025; bids were due by 27 August 2025 at 17:00, and bids were required to remain valid until 27 October 2025. The contract was signed on 31 October 2025 and has a stated duration of 240 days. The contract value is £169,725.83. All bids were submitted electronically in English. Fourteen bids were received. Tenderers were required to provide staff names and professional qualifications, while the published selection criterion was suitability.

This award shows a defined requirement from Walk Wheel Cycle Trust for specialist consultancy support to take an active travel and placemaking scheme from developed concept through detailed design. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable engineering and design capability across RIBA Stages 2 to 4, with the ability to coordinate drawings, technical information, utility constraints, area plans and vehicle movement analysis. Experience of public realm and active travel projects in a local-authority or community setting would strengthen a bid. The requirement also points to the importance of assembling a suitably qualified project team and presenting named staff credentials. The award to Mott MacDonald, a large engineering consultancy, indicates that multidisciplinary capacity and the ability to manage a substantial technical design package are relevant strengths.
