Summary of the contracting process

Crown Estate Scotland sought a multidisciplinary remediation client-side team for the ZeroFour development in Montrose. The service was to monitor and report on contractors’ activity, progress, impact and delivery quality, while advising on connected planning and health and safety matters. The wider remit covered project management, technical assurance, regulatory compliance, engineering and NEC supervision, CDM Principal Designer duties, ecological and heritage oversight, planning advice, cost management and structured reporting. The work was intended to support remediation involving contaminated land, unexploded ordnance, radium, ecological sensitivity and planning complexity. This is a professional services requirement for an integrated client-side technical and project management team supporting remediation works on site.

The procurement used an open procedure for one lot, evaluated on quality and price, weighted 70% and 30% respectively. The estimated value was £400,000, with a contract period of 540 days and bids required in English. The original submission and tender-opening deadline was 15 June 2026, later extended to 24 July 2026. Crown Estate Scotland subsequently cancelled the procurement: the tender is recorded as unsuccessful and discontinued, with the cancellation published on 9 September 2026. No supplier was awarded the contract. The requirement included electronic payment and ordering, allowed electronic invoicing, and did not permit variant bids or provide for contract renewal or additional options.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Crown Estate Scotland for an integrated specialist team able to act as the client-side management and assurance function on complex remediation. Credible future competitors would need multidisciplinary capability spanning project management, engineering, NEC contract supervision, cost control, regulatory compliance, planning, health and safety, ecological and heritage oversight, contaminated-land risk, unexploded-ordnance risk and radium-related remediation. Experience coordinating remediation contractors and subcontractors, monitoring delivery quality and impact, and producing structured reports would be important. The requirement also favours organisations able to provide CDM Principal Designer expertise and bring these disciplines together under one accountable team rather than offering isolated consultancy services.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Crown Estate Scotland requires a multidisciplinary Remediation Client-Side Team (RCST) to provide project management, technical assurance, regulatory compliance, engineering/NEC supervision, CDM Principal Designer duties, ecological and heritage oversight, planning advice, cost management and structured reporting to support delivery of the ZeroFour remediation works. CES does not have internal capacity to manage the specialist risks associated with contaminated land, UXO, radium, ecological sensitivity, and planning complexity, and therefore needs an integrated supplier team to act as its client side engine throughout the project lifecycle.
