Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Jura, Craighouse to Corran Sands Active Travel Route project has been overseen by Argyll and Bute Council, located at Kilmory, Lochgilphead, UKM. The recent completion of the award stage occurred on 19th February 2026, with the contract valued at approximately £151,314 GBP. This tender aimed to advance the developed and technical design for an active travel route on the Isle of Jura as per a concept design created by Connected Transport Planning in 2024. The procurement method used was an open procedure within the services industry category, focusing on general public services. The contract was signed before 3rd March 2026, with a significant role for the principal designer in potential future construction, subject to additional funding availability.

SMEs like Connected Transport Planning, which won the tender, demonstrate the project's accessibility to small and medium enterprises. Businesses offering related services such as community engagement with landowners, design innovation, and technical expertise in travel infrastructure development would be well-positioned to compete in similar opportunities. With subcontracting possibilities available up to 35%, there is ample scope for partnerships and collaborative ventures to enhance service delivery on similar projects across Scotland and beyond.
