Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council is procuring consultancy services for the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project in Argyll. The appointed consultant will lead, manage and coordinate the work needed to move from the existing temporary mitigation arrangements to a permanent, fully engineered road solution, followed by a construction contract. The delivery location is the Bealach Mor landslip on the A816. The requirement covers civil engineering consultancy and business-case development for a permanent road solution, classified under CPV 71311000. The council is the buying organisation and the work concerns a local public road affected by a landslip. This opportunity suits consultancies able to manage a complex transport infrastructure project from its current temporary arrangements through development of the permanent solution and preparation for construction.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-lot requirement. The tender deadline was 9 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and tenders were scheduled to open at the same time. The contract period is 660 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission. A document-access fee applies, and variants are not allowed. Suppliers must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff proposed for the work. Bids must be submitted in English. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The requirement includes a subcontracting clause and non-evaluated community benefits. The award decision period starts on 9 October 2026.

This opportunity is suited to civil and highways engineering consultancies with experience of landslip response, road stabilisation and the development of permanent transport infrastructure solutions. Strong candidates will be able to lead and coordinate multidisciplinary technical work, assess existing temporary mitigation arrangements, develop a fully engineered road proposal and support the client towards a subsequent construction contract. The requirement is also relevant to firms experienced in preparing robust business cases and managing public-sector road projects through design development and delivery planning. Bidders need to identify the proposed staff and provide their professional qualifications, so the opportunity favours businesses with an established technically qualified team. Firms that can manage subcontractors and deliver non-evaluated community benefits may also be well placed to compete.
