Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council is procuring civil engineering works to repair a retaining wall and stabilise the slope beneath it on North High Street in Buckie, Moray. The requirement covers the design and build of the remedial works, using an NEC4 Option A contract with a priced activity schedule. The main work category is retaining-wall repair and landslip remediation (CPV 45220000), with associated site preparation and earthworks (CPV 45111230). The work will be delivered at the Buckie site, with Moray identified as the delivery area. This is a single requirement for works rather than a supply or service contract. The council is the buying organisation and will use electronic ordering and payment arrangements.

The procurement has reached tender: Moray Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were set a deadline of 12 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids are to be opened at that time, and the award period starts then. The initial contract period is 210 days, with renewals or extensions considered at its end. The estimated contract value is £695,000 including the stated currency. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Variants are not allowed, bids must be in English, and submitted bids must remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation includes suitability, economic and financial standing, and technical experience. The tender requires three relevant examples from the past five years.

This opportunity suits established civil engineering and groundworks contractors able to design and deliver landslip remediation and retaining-wall repairs on projects of similar scale and complexity. Tenderers must show at least three relevant projects completed during the previous five years, specifically demonstrating experience with both landslip remediation and retaining-wall repairs. The requirement is aimed at businesses with the financial strength to undertake a substantial construction project: average annual turnover must have been at least £1 million for each of the last three years. Bidders must provide the last two or three audited financial statements and address any material post-balance-sheet events affecting their financial standing. An NEC4 Option A Design and Build contract will suit firms experienced in activity-schedule pricing and integrated design-and-construction delivery.
