Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council is procuring highway and civil engineering works to remediate the unstable Coal Glen embankment on the B741 in the Kilmarnock area. The works include excavating failed material and replacing it with engineered fill to create a gentler 1V:3H slope, with counterfort drainage. The contractor must repair the existing culvert with a contractor-designed CIPP lining, extend it by 10 metres using a contractor-designed precast concrete box culvert, and build a transition unit with manhole access. Further work includes a contractor-designed outfall headwall with scour protection, widened two-metre highway verges with marker posts and fencing, and surface-water drainage with outfalls to the Coal Glen watercourse. The requirement is construction work, classified under CPV 45111230, and includes voluntary community benefits.

The process reached tender: East Ayrshire Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. It comprises one lot and includes an option for unforeseen works associated with the main works at or around the site; variants are not allowed. Bids must be submitted by 30 September 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at the same time and evaluation scheduled to start then. The contract period is 90 days, with no renewal. Bidders must provide general annual turnover for each of the last three years, with a minimum of £700,000 per year. Required insurance includes employers’ liability of £10 million, public and products liability of £5 million, professional indemnity of £2 million, and other cover set out in the tender requirements.

This opportunity suits civil engineering and highways contractors able to deliver embankment stabilisation, earthworks and drainage in a live infrastructure setting. Relevant capability includes culvert repair and extension, structural concrete construction, outfall and scour protection, verge widening, fencing and surface-water drainage. The buyer expects experience of working in a river environment, including earthworks, structural works, watercourse diversion and coordination with public utilities. Tenderers must provide two examples from the past five years of works similar in value, size and scope. The delivery team needs suitably qualified Street Works Operatives and Supervisors under the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991. Sampling personnel must be UKAS-accredited and testing must use a UKAS-approved laboratory. Quality, health and safety, and environmental management certification or equivalent documented systems are required.
