Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council, through Ayrshire Roads Alliance, procured civil engineering works to stabilise the failing gabion wall at Kirkford, Stewarton, beside Annick Water. The project addresses erosion threatening the riverbank, slope and footpath above it. The scope included temporary access and a dry working area within the watercourse; installation of 55 linear metres of sheet-pile wall along the existing gabion wall; low-cement, low-embodied-carbon concrete backfill; regrading the slope to a maximum 1:2 gradient using imported 6G stone and topsoil; and local repair of the riverbank bund with rock armour. The requirement is classified as construction work, specifically site preparation and sheet-piling activities. The buyer is East Ayrshire Council, with delivery at Kirkford Gabions in Stewarton.

This completed procurement used an open procedure for one lot, with electronic submission and English-language bids; variants were not permitted. Bids were due by 14 August 2026 at 12:00, with public opening at the same time. The works were specified for 90 days, including unforeseen works associated with the site, and renewal was not included. The contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Track Civil Enginineering Solutions Ltd and signed on 7 September 2026. The awarded contract value was £698,639.63. Three bids were received, including two from SMEs, and all bids were submitted electronically. Evaluation required relevant technical experience, financial standing, suitability qualifications, insurance, and quality, health and safety and environmental management arrangements.

This award demonstrates demand from East Ayrshire Council for specialist riverbank and slope-stabilisation contractors able to deliver sheet-piling and associated civil engineering in a constrained watercourse environment. A credible competitor would need two comparable sheet-piling projects completed within the previous five years, of similar value, size and scope, together with qualified street-works operatives and supervisors. The requirement favours firms with established temporary works, access, dewatering, piling, concrete, earthworks and rock-armour capability, supported by reliable plant and site management. Contractors also need robust financial capacity, appropriate construction and motor insurance, and demonstrable systems for quality, occupational health and safety, and environmental management. UKAS-accredited or equivalent certification, or suitably authorised and regularly reviewed policies, would support compliance. The buyer's use of an open electronic route and SME participation indicates a competitive market accessible to capable specialist civil engineering businesses.
