Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council has completed the procurement process for the "Campbeltown Esplanade & Kinloch Park Active Travel: Developed & Technical Design" project, focusing on active travel improvements in Campbeltown, UKM region. The contract was awarded to Connected Transport Planning, a small and medium-sized enterprise, on 10 March 2026, with the project expected to progress the existing concept design to fully developed and technical specifications. The procurement method was open procedure under the services category, with a quality-price split of 80-20 in award criteria. This award follows the tender stage, which closed on 3 February 2026, indicating a keen interest from six bidders, with three from SMEs.

This initiative presents substantial opportunities for businesses in transportation design and consultancy sectors to demonstrate their capabilities in executing projects that enhance urban mobility and active travel infrastructure. Firms specialising in technical and developed design methodologies for public infrastructure would find this tender particularly beneficial for growth and portfolio enhancement. The involvement of subcontracting at an agreed percentage further opens doors for entities willing to collaborate on delivering portions of the project, thus fostering a network of professional engagements conducive to business expansion within the UK and potentially beyond. Given the contract's active status, there remain robust prospects for contributing towards community benefits and sustainable town planning initiatives.
