Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council commissioned site investigation services at Stevenston and Irvine Beach in North Ayrshire. The work is intended to improve understanding of future environmental and human-health risks from existing contaminated ground and predicted coastal change at both coastal locations. This is a geoenvironmental and geotechnical services requirement, within the wider engineering and technical consultancy market (CPV 71510000). The council is the buying organisation and the work is to be delivered at two coastal sites in Stevenston and Irvine. The requirement covers one lot and was awarded to AtkinsRealis UK Limited, a large engineering and consultancy business based in Edinburgh. It is relevant to firms providing contaminated-land investigation, geotechnical assessment, environmental risk analysis or coastal-change investigation services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. North Ayrshire Council selected AtkinsRealis UK Limited for the single lot through a direct award under the Scotland Excel SXL 10-25 Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework, Lot 6 for geoenvironmental and geotechnical services. The procurement record also identifies the underlying method as an open procedure. One electronic bid was recorded, with no bids from SMEs. The contract value is £73,162. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The award is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome data identifies the selected supplier and awarded value, but does not provide a separate award date or contract end date.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of North Ayrshire Council’s demand for specialist investigation of contaminated ground and coastal-change risks. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability in geoenvironmental and geotechnical site investigations, including assessing risks to the environment and human health at coastal locations. Experience of working across more than one site, interpreting existing contamination and predicted coastal change, and producing evidence that can inform future risk management would be relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand the Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework route, particularly its geoenvironmental and geotechnical services category. The recorded award demonstrates that the council used an established framework and selected a large specialist consultancy.
