Summary of the contracting process

South Ayrshire Council procured quantity surveying consultancy and employer’s agent services for the McConnell Square project in Girvan. The requirement covers professional construction consultancy, including quantity surveying support, associated cost and commercial oversight, and employer’s agent functions for the project. The service category is consultancy services, classified under CPV 71315210 for building consultancy services. Delivery is in Girvan, South Ayrshire. The council acted as the buying organisation and central purchasing body. The procurement was a single requirement covering the described consultancy service, rather than a broader supply of construction materials or construction works. It is relevant to construction consultants and quantity surveying practices that provide employer’s agent services for public-sector development projects.

This procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. South Ayrshire Council used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on the Scottish Procurement Alliance Consultancy Services C1 Framework. TCS Construction Consultants was selected as the supplier. The award was made on 8 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract value is £100,000 GBP. The process used one lot for quantity surveying consultancy services, and one electronic bid was recorded. The procurement was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract end date or duration is stated in the process.

For firms that did not win, this award provides a clear example of South Ayrshire Council’s demand for construction consultancy at project level and its use of a pre-existing consultancy framework rather than an openly advertised competition. A credible future supplier would need to deliver quantity surveying and employer’s agent services for a public construction or redevelopment project, with the professional capacity to manage cost, commercial advice and the client-side administration associated with those functions. Framework appointment or access would be commercially important for reaching this buyer through the same route. The award also shows that established construction consultancy providers can be selected for a defined local project requirement.
