Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council procured construction consultancy services for the River Irvine Path project in Irvine, as part of Levelling Up Fund investment to improve the Irvine/i3 site. The appointed consultant supports the construction phase through several professional roles: Principal Designer for tree felling and main construction works, review of tender returns, management and site supervision of the main works, and Ecological Clerk of Works services. The requirement is classified under CPV 71530000, construction consultancy services. The council is the buyer and also acts as a central purchasing body. Delivery is associated with the River Irvine Path project in Irvine, North Ayrshire, giving the opportunity a clear local infrastructure and environmental focus.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sweco UK Limited. The contract was signed on 28 April 2026 for £155,805 including the published GBP currency. It is scheduled to run from 5 May 2026 to 31 May 2027. The requirement was issued as a direct award through the CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four, Lot 8 – Infrastructure, although the record also describes the procurement method as an open procedure. One bid was recorded for the lot. The award covered one lot containing all the listed consultancy activities, with no additional purchase options. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid, and the contract is recorded as active.

For firms monitoring future North Ayrshire Council infrastructure work, this award shows demand for an integrated construction consultancy capable of covering design responsibility, procurement review, construction management, site supervision and ecological oversight within one commission. A credible competitor would need suitably qualified Principal Designer capability, experience managing and supervising major works, competence in assessing contractor tender returns, and the ability to provide ecological clerk-of-works services alongside construction delivery. Experience of paths, civil infrastructure, public-realm works or environmentally sensitive sites would be directly relevant to this requirement. Suppliers would also need to understand how to operate through the relevant management consultancy framework route, or build the partnerships and framework position needed to provide the full multidisciplinary service at comparable scale.
