Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council procured specialist flood-risk consultancy for Lossiemouth Seatown. The requirement covered flood modelling and an appraisal of options for a flood alleviation scheme, combining civil engineering and environmental engineering consultancy. The work was intended to inform assessment of flood risk and the choice of possible flood alleviation measures in the Seatown area of Lossiemouth. The procurement was a mini-competition under Lot 7 of the SXL Engineering and Technical Consultancy framework. The selected supplier, Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, is based in Skipton; the place of delivery for the consultancy is Lossiemouth, Moray.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Moray Council selected Jeremy Benn Associates Limited following a mini-competition under the SXL Engineering and Technical Consultancy framework; the award record describes the route as a single-supplier award without competition. Six bids were recorded. The contract was signed on 10 January 2026. The awarded value is £64,315. No award date or contract duration is recorded, so the signed date should not be read as the award date. The procurement covers one requirement: flood modelling and flood alleviation scheme option appraisal for Lossiemouth Seatown. The available data gives no further evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions.

This award confirms demand from Moray Council for specialist consultancy that can model flood risk and assess feasible flood alleviation options in a defined local area. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar requirement should be able to demonstrate relevant civil engineering and environmental engineering consultancy capability, including the technical expertise to develop or interpret flood models and compare scheme options. Experience of advising on flood alleviation planning would make a supplier credible for work of this type. The competition took place within Lot 7 of the SXL Engineering and Technical Consultancy framework, so access to that framework route is commercially relevant. The six recorded bids indicate that several suppliers competed for the requirement; a future competitor would need to show a strong fit with this specialist scope and the council's local flood-risk needs.
