Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring a river level monitoring service across Fife. The requirement covers the supply, installation and maintenance of river level monitors, including maintenance of existing water-level and flow-monitoring sites at 14 locations and installation of monitors at 15 new locations. This is a monitoring and environmental infrastructure service, classified under CPV 50324100 for system maintenance services. The work will be delivered across Fife, with Fife Council as the buying organisation. Suppliers will need to provide the monitoring equipment, install it at new sites and maintain both the new network and the existing monitoring locations. The contract also allows additional purchases in accordance with the applicable Scottish public procurement regulations.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission in English. This tender stage included one lot. The submission deadline, amended twice, was 3 September 2026 at 12:00, with tenders scheduled to open at the same time. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend for two further periods of 12 months each. Fife Council may make additional purchases during the contract. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%; proposed community benefits are voluntary and will not be scored. Bidders cannot submit variants. Selection covers suitability, economic and financial standing, and technical capability, with the relevant requirements set out in the supplier selection module. The opportunity is recurring, with a further process anticipated in 2031 if the full term and extensions are used.

This opportunity suits suppliers with experience in river, water-level or flow monitoring systems, environmental telemetry, field instrumentation, installation and ongoing maintenance. Competitors should be able to supply suitable monitoring equipment, install systems at multiple new locations and maintain an existing network across geographically distributed sites. The requirement is likely to suit firms with field-service capacity, planned maintenance capability and the ability to support monitoring infrastructure over a sustained service period. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their suitability, economic and financial standing, and technical capability through the selection process. Electronic ordering and payment arrangements will be used. Bidders must submit in English, provide the required supplier assessment information and complete the relevant climate-change plan and serious-organised-crime declarations. Voluntary community benefits may also be proposed, although they do not affect scoring.
