Summary of the contracting process

Dumfries and Galloway Council commissioned design consultancy for its Coastal Gateway Sites. The work covers technical, developed and detailed design across RIBA stages 2 to 4, including Principal Designer duties during the developed design stage. It is an active-travel project, procured through the SXL Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework’s transportation and traffic engineering consultancy lot. The requirement is focused on the council’s coastal gateway sites in Dumfries and Galloway. This is a professional services contract rather than construction work: the appointed supplier is providing design and related consultancy services to develop the sites through the specified design stages.

The procurement has been awarded to Amey OW Limited, and the contract is recorded as active. The award value is £99,979.02. The process was a mini-competition under the SXL Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework, using its active-travel lot. The published tender period ran from 10 May 2026 to 10 April 2027. One bid was recorded. The award data does not provide an award date or contract start and end dates, so the duration cannot be established. The work was for one overall requirement; the process data does not identify separate awards or lot-specific values. The scope identifies the design stages and Principal Designer responsibility, but no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows demand from Dumfries and Galloway Council for specialist consultancy to take coastal gateway projects through technical, developed and detailed design, with Principal Designer duties at the developed design stage. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will need demonstrable capability across RIBA stages 2 to 4, active-travel and transportation design, and the ability to fulfil the relevant design-stage health and safety responsibilities. Experience in developing designs for public-realm or coastal gateway sites would be relevant where it can be tied directly to this scope. The work was bought through a consultancy framework mini-competition, so credible framework access and the capacity to deliver coordinated design services are commercially important. One bid was recorded, indicating limited competition in this instance, though it does not establish the wider market.
