Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council, located in Giffnock, has completed the procurement process for an "Infrastructure Technical Advisory Service" under the general public services category. This contract specifically involves the delivery of an Infrastructure Strategic Roadmap & Planning for the region of East Renfrewshire, under the UKM83 location. The procurement was executed using a limited procedure, without prior publication of a call for competition, as a direct call-off from the Technology Services 4 Crown Commercial Services (RM6190) framework. The contract was awarded on 30th April 2026 to Softcat Plc, a large supplier based in Marlow, with the contract valued at £306,000. This procurement is in the award and contract stage as of 1st May 2026 and has been completed.

This tender presents significant prospects for businesses specialising in infrastructure planning and advisory services. Given the direct call-off nature of the procurement, larger businesses with established frameworks, like Softcat Plc, are well-suited to compete due to their capability to deliver specialised services swiftly. For such firms, this contract offers a stable opportunity to expand their operations within the public sector, particularly in local authority projects, thereby enhancing their portfolio and strengthening their market position in the region.
