Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council commissioned consultancy on its bus network. The work is divided into regional network design and strategy, and assessment of delivery models and the feasibility of an arm’s-length external organisation (ALEO). It is transport systems consultancy, intended to support decisions about the network and how services could be delivered. The named buyer is Dumfries and Galloway Council, and the requirement concerns Dumfries and Galloway. The procurement was run using Edinburgh City Council’s professional services framework, through a further competition. Its scope combines strategic network planning with organisational and delivery-model analysis, so it covers both the shape of the regional network and possible arrangements for delivering it.

The procurement has been awarded. Dumfries and Galloway Council ran a further competition under Edinburgh City Council’s professional services framework. WSP and Stantec UK Limited were named as the suppliers for the award, valued at £60,290. The contract is recorded as active. The tender was split into two lots: regional network design and strategy, and delivery model and ALEO feasibility; the award information does not allocate separate suppliers or values to those lots. Two bids were recorded. The published scope describes the consultancy requirement, but gives no evaluation criteria or contract dates. The award therefore establishes the selected suppliers and overall award value, while leaving the individual lot allocation and timing of delivery unclear from the available procurement details.

For consultancy firms, this award demonstrates demand from Dumfries and Galloway Council for specialist advice on bus network planning and service delivery arrangements. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show capability in regional network design and strategy, alongside analysis of alternative delivery models and ALEO feasibility. The combined scope indicates a need to address both transport-network choices and the organisational options for delivering services, rather than network planning alone. The procurement used a further competition under a professional services framework, so relevant suppliers would need access to an appropriate framework route to compete in the same way. The award went to two established consultancy businesses, showing that firms with a breadth of relevant advisory capability were selected for this commission.»} მოუპӘА સપ json_schema.Invalid?
