Summary of the contracting process

East Renfrewshire Council appointed a development manager and design team to improve the visitor experience at Balgray Reservoir as part of the Aurs Road Development, known as Dams to Darnley. The work is intended to establish an outdoor visitor destination with indoor facilities. The scope covers redevelopment design through RIBA Stage 4, together with development management and related architectural, planning and landscape design services. The main service category is architectural and development consultancy, including project management, with CPV code 71200000. Delivery is in East Renfrewshire, centred on Balgray Reservoir. This is a local-authority leisure and visitor-attraction development rather than a routine operational service or standalone construction works package.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. East Renfrewshire Council made a direct award without prior publication of a competition, using the UK Leisure Framework Agreement. The requirement was presented as one completed lot covering appointment of the design team to RIBA Stage 4 for the Balgray Reservoir redevelopment. Alliance Leisure Services Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 19 June 2026 for £265,161.25 including the stated GBP currency. The contracting process was recorded as complete on 30 July 2026. One bid was recorded for the lot, and the award was made through the framework’s direct-award route rather than an open tender. No separate award date or contract end date is stated.

This outcome identifies a market for integrated leisure-development support around a reservoir visitor destination, combining development management with a multidisciplinary design team. Businesses positioned for comparable work would need the capability to take a leisure, tourism or visitor-attraction scheme through RIBA Stage 4, coordinating architectural, planning and landscape inputs with client-side development management. Experience of outdoor destinations with associated indoor facilities would be directly relevant, as would the ability to manage a public-sector redevelopment in East Renfrewshire. The route used also shows the commercial importance of access to the UK Leisure Framework Agreement and the ability to deliver through a direct award. Larger consultancies or suitably partnered specialist teams may be best placed to provide the required breadth.
