OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is seeking a consultant for the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project in Argyll, on the A816. The commission is to lead, manage and coordinate all activities needed to move the project from its existing temporary mitigation arrangements to a permanent, fully engineered road solution and then to a construction contract. This is a professional engineering and project-management service supporting the development and delivery of permanent road infrastructure. The work is associated with civil engineering design for road construction, classified under CPV 71311000. The requirement concerns the landslip location at Bealach Mor and is intended for a consultant able to coordinate the transition from temporary measures through design, project development and preparation for construction.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-lot requirement. The tender deadline and bid-opening time were set for 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the award period starting at that time. The contract period is 660 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission, and bidders must submit in English. A fee applies for obtaining tender documents. Variants are not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published tender includes an Invitation to Tender, existing information, an activity schedule, contract data, scope and contract clauses.

This opportunity suits civil engineering consultancies and road infrastructure specialists that can take ownership of a landslip remediation project from temporary mitigation through permanent solution and construction procurement. The successful consultant will need to lead, manage and coordinate the activities required to develop a fully engineered road solution and progress it towards a subsequent construction contract. It is suited to firms able to combine technical road and geotechnical engineering with structured project management, stakeholder coordination and preparation of construction-contract information. Bidders must identify the names and professional qualifications of the staff assigned to the work, so an appropriately qualified delivery team is important. Suppliers should also be prepared to address subcontracting provisions and non-evaluated community benefits within delivery arrangements.
