Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh and Lothian Greenspace Trust commissioned works to restore the Burdiehouse Burn in Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park, between Lasswade Road and Gilmerton Dykes Street in Edinburgh. The project involves realigning the burn and creating scrapes and other wetland features, together with associated soft landscaping. It also includes setting back an existing path, constructing a new seating area and replacing the existing bridge. The requirement is environmental and civil engineering construction work, including river restoration, wetland creation, path works, bridge works, hard and soft landscape works, and related site construction. The buyer is a charitable greenspace trust acting as a central purchasing body. The project was procured as a single lot.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure. Bids were submitted electronically in English, with variants not allowed. The tender closed on 17 July 2026 at 17:00, bids were opened on 20 July 2026 at 08:00, and the contract was awarded to Mclaren Plant Ltd. The award date was 20 July 2026 and the contract was signed on 29 July 2026. The contract period is 120 days, with no renewal or additional-purchase options. Six bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. Valid bids ranged from £346,502.43 to £703,187.27. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and bids had to remain valid for 60 days.

This award demonstrates demand from Edinburgh and Lothian Greenspace Trust for contractors able to deliver integrated river restoration and public-realm construction rather than a single trade package. Credible future competitors would need practical capability in watercourse realignment, wetland and habitat features, ecological construction controls, path setting-back, bridge replacement and associated hard and soft landscaping. The requirement also points to the importance of managing design information, drawings, quantities, specifications, ground conditions, tree protection and structural approvals across one coordinated works package. Suppliers should be able to plan and deliver construction safely in a park environment while coordinating civil engineering, landscape and environmental activities. The six SME bids indicate that the opportunity can attract specialist or regional construction businesses with sufficient capacity to manage a substantial, multidisciplinary site project.
