Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured specialist engineering consultancy services for Level 2 scour assessments on 10 structures in the Perth & Kinross area. The assessments were required to comply with CS469, the relevant standard for scour assessment of structures. The work falls within civil engineering consultancy and technical design services, with CPV code 71311000. The council was the buying organisation and the work was geographically focused on its area in Scotland. The procurement was made through the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework Agreement, Lot 5. This opportunity therefore suited firms with experience in assessing scour risks affecting bridges or other structures, and with the technical capability to deliver assessments to the CS469 standard for a local authority client.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used an open procedure under the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework Agreement, Lot 5. One supplier was selected: JBA Consulting, based in Skipton, North Yorkshire. The contract value is £148,698. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and is recorded as active. The requirement was presented as one lot covering the 10 structures. Five bids were received, including three from small and medium-sized enterprises; all five bids were submitted electronically. The published outcome records the selected supplier and contract value, but does not state an award date or a contract end date. The contract was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For firms that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist structural and water-related engineering expertise within Perth & Kinross Council. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to show practical experience of Level 2 scour assessments, competence in applying CS469, and the capacity to assess multiple structures as a coordinated package. Familiarity with public-sector engineering consultancy frameworks, particularly Scotland Excel arrangements, would also be commercially relevant because this work was awarded through that route. The participation of small and medium-sized enterprises shows that the requirement was not limited to the largest consultancies. Firms with suitably qualified technical staff, robust electronic tendering capability and evidence of delivering comparable structural assessments would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement returns.
