Summary of the contracting process

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport commissioned consultancy services to design solutions addressing the causes and consequences of water ingress at Subway stations. The work is focused on station water management design in Glasgow and covers the single requirement under the SPT Framework for the provision of Design and Technical Professional Services, Lot 7. The buyer is a public transport organisation and central purchasing body based in Glasgow. The service falls within construction consultancy and civil engineering design, classified under CPV 71311000. The requirement concerns both understanding the source of water ingress and developing practical design solutions to manage its effects within the Subway station environment.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as an open procedure under the SPT professional services framework. Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited was selected for the single lot, with the contract recorded as active and signed on 9 September 2026. The contract value is £96,239. The award was made against the framework’s Lot 7 for design and technical professional services. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by an SME; the award information identifies Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited as the successful supplier. The evaluation resulted in a single supplier being selected for the station water management design requirement. The procurement record does not set out a separate contract end date.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would need consultancy capability in diagnosing and addressing water ingress in operational rail or metro stations, together with the ability to turn investigation findings into workable design solutions. Relevant strengths would include civil engineering and building-services design, water management, drainage, waterproofing, structural interfaces and the assessment of consequences for station assets and operations. Experience of working in live public transport environments would help demonstrate that designs can be developed with appropriate regard to access, safety, disruption and constructability. This award also shows that the buyer uses a professional services framework and that an SME consultancy was able to compete successfully, so firms with suitable technical expertise and the capacity to deliver a focused station-design commission would be well placed for comparable work.
