Summary of the contracting process

West Dunbartonshire Council appointed professional services for the Gruggies Burn Flood Alleviation Scheme: a quantity surveyor and a site supervisor. The work covers quantity surveying and site supervision for the flood alleviation project, including the associated construction and project delivery activities. It is a services contract rather than a works contract. The buying organisation is West Dunbartonshire Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. Delivery is in West Dunbartonshire, with the project named Gruggies Burn. The main classification is quantity surveying services (CPV 71311000). The requirement was procured as a single lot covering both the quantity surveyor and site supervisor services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. AtkinsRéalis UK Limited was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 22 June 2026 for £705,114. The procedure was a limited award without prior publication of a call for competition. The council stated that the contract had to be in place before the end of March because Scottish Government funding for the main project required every aspect of the contract and project to have an appointed contractor. The procurement covered one lot, which is complete, and had no options. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME. The award was made outside the scope of the applicable directive and under GPA coverage.

This procurement indicates demand for a supplier able to combine quantity surveying with site supervision on a public flood alleviation scheme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate both commercial cost control capability and practical oversight of works on site, rather than offering only one discipline. Relevant experience should include flood risk or flood alleviation infrastructure and the ability to support a council-led project from construction planning through delivery. The requirement was handled through a limited procedure without a published competition, so suppliers should understand the buyer’s procurement route and be capable of meeting time-critical public funding requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of professional services can be delivered by a suitably resourced smaller business.
