Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council procured engineering and technical consultancy for the Buckie Harbour Development. The work falls within civil engineering and environmental engineering consultancy, supporting development at Buckie Harbour. The procurement was a call-off from the SXL engineering and technical consultancy framework. The supplier’s appointment was for consultancy services rather than construction works.

The procurement has been awarded and a contract is active. Moray Council selected Turner & Townsend Infrastructure Limited, with an awarded value of £899,951.91. The award record gives no award date or contract period. The call-off was made through the SXL engineering and technical consultancy framework. One bid was recorded. The procurement data does not set out a separate evaluation basis or provide details of lots or eligibility requirements.

For engineering and technical consultancies, this award demonstrates Moray Council’s use of its SXL framework to obtain specialist advice for harbour development. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate civil engineering consultancy capability, with environmental engineering expertise relevant to the project. The selected supplier was Turner & Townsend Infrastructure Limited, indicating that a consultancy provider was appointed for the harbour development call-off. Firms with the capacity to deliver engineering and environmental advice in support of a substantial development project are the closest fit. The award also shows that this requirement was channelled through a framework, so experience and access to the relevant framework route would matter when competing for similar council consultancy work.
