OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Heriot-Watt University is seeking a civil and structural engineering consultancy framework for its University Estates Services. The work covers professional advice and consultancy on civil and structural engineering requirements supporting the University’s estates activities. Delivery is in Edinburgh. The buying organisation is Heriot-Watt University, and the procurement is for services rather than construction works or physical goods. The requirement is suited to consultancies that can provide suitably qualified civil and structural engineers and support the University across its estates portfolio. Consultants will also be asked to deliver community benefits or social value where these can be identified during the contract.

The process reached tender: Heriot-Watt University invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The procurement has one lot. The tender deadline and bid opening were set for 24 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC in Edinburgh, with evaluation scheduled to start at that time. The framework is valued at £250,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with an option for two additional one-year extensions. Bids must be in English and variants are not allowed. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality and 30% price. The tender requires execution by a particular profession and bidders must provide staff names and qualifications.

This opportunity suits established civil and structural engineering consultancies with the professional capability to advise on a university estates portfolio. Strong technical delivery is especially important because technical quality carries 70% of the evaluation weighting. Bidders should be able to identify the staff who will perform the work and provide their professional qualifications, demonstrating that the required engineering expertise is available. The framework structure may suit firms able to support a continuing programme of estates consultancy rather than a single project, with capacity to respond to varied civil and structural engineering requirements over the initial term and possible extensions. Organisations able to build practical community benefits or social value into their delivery may also be well placed.
