Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council appointed a contractor to carry out ground investigation and exploratory trial pits for the Craigie Burn flood protection scheme in Perth. The findings support development and implementation of flood protection measures for sections of the burn. This is civil engineering and ground investigation work, including trial-pit investigations. The work is located in Perth, Scotland, and is intended to inform a local flood protection scheme. The council is the buyer. The requirement concerns investigation to support the scheme, rather than construction of the flood defences themselves.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. ERS Ltd was selected for £40,923.90. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026; no contract end date or duration is stated. Two bids were recorded. The procurement method, evaluation criteria and any lot structure are not described. The tender period is recorded from 11 February 2026 to 1 August 2027, a period that extends beyond the contract signing date; the data does not explain this timing. The award description says that A & I withdrew its bid after submission. The awarded requirement is ground investigation and exploratory trial pits for the Craigie Burn flood protection scheme in Perth.

For ground investigation and civil engineering firms, this award shows a defined requirement supporting a flood protection scheme: site investigation and exploratory trial pits in Perth. A credible competitor for similar work for Perth & Kinross Council would need to demonstrate relevant technical experience and the capacity to undertake field investigations that inform flood-protection planning. The council appointed a suitably qualified and experienced contractor, so evidence of comparable investigations and reliable delivery would be commercially relevant. The recorded competition involved two bids, and the award went to ERS Ltd. This is a focused investigation package rather than the wider delivery of flood defences; suppliers whose strengths are in geotechnical fieldwork and exploratory investigation are therefore closer to the requirement than firms offering only construction services.
