Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council commissioned a principal inspection of Helensburgh Pier. The requirement is for professional marine services, under CPV 98360000, carried out in connection with the pier at Helensburgh. The scope is defined by the invitation to tender and accompanying scope documents. This is a council-led requirement concerned with assessing the condition and performance of a marine structure, rather than supplying general goods or routine land-based services. Businesses should therefore focus on firms able to undertake structured inspections of piers or comparable maritime infrastructure, interpret technical findings and provide the outputs required by the council’s scope. The named buyer is Argyll and Bute Council, based in Lochgilphead, and the operational location is Helensburgh Pier.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage. Ramboll UK Limited was selected as the supplier following one recorded bid. The award value is £75,009.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The associated contract is recorded as active. The published process identifies a tender for services using a scope-led requirement, with the detailed requirements contained in the invitation to tender and scope documents. The award record does not set out a contract start or end date, award date, procurement method or detailed scoring criteria. This was a single recorded award to one supplier, rather than separate awards divided between multiple suppliers or lots. The buyer is Argyll and Bute Council.

This award is evidence that Argyll and Bute Council purchases specialist inspection services for its marine infrastructure, with a requirement substantial enough to be delivered by an established technical consultancy. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate the practical capability to inspect a pier, assess marine structural condition and produce clear technical outputs in line with an invitation to tender and detailed scope. Relevant experience on piers, harbours, jetties or comparable marine assets would help show that the work can be planned and carried out safely and competently. Firms should also be able to manage a defined inspection assignment for a public-sector client and present findings in the format and level of detail required by the council’s technical documents.
