Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council appointed a project manager to progress the next stages of flood scheme preparation for Peebles, Newcastleton and Eyemouth. The work is project management consultancy for flood schemes, requiring expertise to support scheme preparation across these three Scottish Borders communities. The council is the buyer. The requirement concerns managing the preparation and development of flood schemes rather than construction works themselves.

The procurement has been awarded through a mini-competition. Conor Price Engineering Limited, trading as CPE Consultancy, was selected for the project management work. The award value is £87,144. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and is recorded as active. Three bids were reported. The published process information does not set out a contract end date, tender deadline, lot structure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so these cannot be used to assess the competition or the duration of the engagement.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Scottish Borders Council, this award demonstrates demand for project management expertise to progress flood scheme preparation in Peebles, Newcastleton and Eyemouth. A credible competitor would need to show relevant experience managing the development of flood schemes across multiple communities, and the ability to support the next stages of scheme preparation. The buyer selected a specialist consultancy through a mini-competition, so suppliers able to compete through that route and demonstrate focused project-management capability are well placed to be considered when this specific requirement returns to market. The awarded engagement is substantial enough to require a capable consultancy, while remaining a defined, geographically focused commission.
