Summary of the contracting process

The Cairn Housing Association, located in Edinburgh, spearheaded a procurement process for the restoration of the Annick Water Riverbank, specifically addressing erosion issues along the southern riverbank and reconstructing a 61-metre gabion basket retaining wall near Annick Drive, Dreghorn, KA11 4ES. The contract, identified by ID "CGH03/26-01," falls under the "works" category and followed an open procurement method. Key dates included the tender period closing on 17 April 2026, followed by the award process beginning shortly thereafter. The awarded contract, involving JML Contracts Ltd as the supplier, was signed on 15 June 2026, marking the transition to the active phase.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in construction and civil engineering, particularly those with expertise in environmental restoration and infrastructure repair. The open procurement method allowed for maximum participation, with three SMEs submitting bids. Given the project's nature and location, businesses with experience in ecological assessments and gabion wall construction would be well-suited to engage in this contract. The provision for subcontracting, specifically for hogweed treatment, further opens avenues for niche specialists to contribute to the project.
