Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned a transport planning and engineering consultancy assessment of three potential park-and-ride sites in Perth: Bertha Park, Walnut Grove on the A90, and Bridge of Earn. The work concerns support services for road transport and is intended to assess the suitability of these sites for park-and-ride provision. It was procured under the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework, reference 1025. The council is the buying organisation and the work is centred on sites across Perth. This requirement is relevant to consultancies able to assess transport infrastructure proposals, compare potential development sites and provide technical advice to a local authority on park-and-ride planning.

This procurement has been awarded through a direct procedure under which a single supplier was selected without competition. Jacobs UK Ltd received the award for the park-and-ride site assessment, at an awarded value of £25,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The process recorded one bid. A contract linked to the award is recorded as active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was called off under the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework. The award covers one assessment requirement spanning the three named Perth locations. No separate lots or competing awards are identified in the outcome. The available outcome information does not include a contract duration or award date.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the outcome demonstrates that Perth & Kinross Council buys focused transport consultancy to test several park-and-ride locations within one assignment. A credible future competitor would need experience in transport planning, engineering appraisal and the assessment of sites for road-based interchange facilities. It would need to compare locations consistently, identify practical infrastructure implications and produce advice suitable for council investment and planning decisions. Relevant firms are likely to include engineering consultancies, transport planners and multidisciplinary technical advisers with the capacity to manage work across multiple sites. Experience of public-sector consultancy delivery and access to the relevant framework route would strengthen their position when similar needs arise.
