PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Edinburgh and Lothian Greenspace Trust is procuring professional design services for the Restore the Burn Nature Restoration project. The work covers developed and technical designs at RIBA Stages 3 and 4, building on completed concept designs at RIBA Stage 2. The purpose is to restore and improve five local greenspaces, with the scheme focused on the Niddrie Burn corridor from Little France Park to Magdalene Glen in Edinburgh. The requirement is primarily environmental design and nature restoration consultancy, including landscape, ecological and related technical design services. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. The Trust is acting as the buying organisation and central purchasing body for this requirement, which is delivered across the identified greenspace sites in Edinburgh.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. There is one lot covering the RIBA Stage 3/4 developed and technical design for five greenspaces. The estimated contract value is £90,000. The contract period runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, and bids must be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Bids are due to be opened at 12:00 UTC on 2 October 2026. The evaluation period starts on 2 October 2026, and bids must remain valid until 26 October 2026. Evaluation includes suitability against the requirements in the tender documents. Variants are not allowed, and electronic payment and ordering will be used, with electronic invoicing permitted.

This opportunity suits landscape, environmental design and nature restoration practices able to take an existing concept design through RIBA Stages 3 and 4. Suppliers should be capable of producing developed and technical designs for multiple local greenspaces and of addressing the practical requirements of restoring sites along an urban burn corridor. The work is relevant to multidisciplinary consultancies combining landscape architecture, ecological understanding and technical design capability. Bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of the staff who will carry out the work, so a suitably qualified project team is important. The requirement is conducted in English and calls for coordinated delivery across five sites, making experience managing linked greenspace or environmental design commissions particularly relevant.
