Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned specialist consultancy services for principal inspections of bridges. The work covers bridge inspection within the council’s roads and structures responsibilities, delivered across Perth and Kinross. It sits within the engineering and technical consultancy category and was awarded as a call-off from Lot 1, Roads & Structures, of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework. The requirement was for a suitably qualified and experienced consultant rather than construction works or routine maintenance. It is therefore relevant to engineering consultancies with experience inspecting bridge assets and advising public-sector roads authorities across the Perth and Kinross area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to WSP UK Ltd. It used an open procedure and was run as a call-off against the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework. Five bids were received, including two from small and medium-sized enterprises; all bids were submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £130,070.50 including assumed amounts that may decrease through Compensation Events. The published outcome identifies one completed lot and one selected supplier. The available procurement details do not set out a separate award date or contract end date. The requirement was covered by the GPA.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for bridge principal inspection services in Perth and Kinross, delivered through an engineering and technical consultancy framework. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitably qualified and experienced bridge inspection consultants, with the technical capability to assess bridge assets and produce dependable professional advice for a council’s roads and structures function. Relevant experience of principal inspections, public-sector asset management and working within framework call-off arrangements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The competition attracted five bids, including two from SMEs, so smaller specialist consultancies can be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate the required expertise, delivery capacity and understanding of council infrastructure responsibilities.
