Summary of the contracting process

The James Hutton Institute bought pre-construction services, described as being in accordance with a specification. The procurement is categorised as a service and classified under agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services. The buyer is based in Dundee, but the procurement information does not identify where the services are to be delivered. The requirement is for support before construction rather than construction works themselves; its detailed scope depends on the specification. This is a specialist pre-construction services requirement associated with the buyer’s activity, rather than a general agricultural supply contract.

The procurement has been awarded to Algo (Blairgowrie) Ltd, and two bids were recorded. The award value is £16,420. The contract is active and was signed on 10 December 2026. No award date or contract period is stated. The procurement information gives no further detail on the procedure, evaluation criteria, eligibility requirements or lot structure, so the recorded outcome is the clearest indication of how the requirement was placed. The award is for pre-construction services in accordance with the specification; the contract information does not describe separate lots or identify a more detailed breakdown of the services.

For suppliers considering similar future requirements from The James Hutton Institute, this award shows demand for pre-construction services procured as a standalone service rather than as construction works. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to provide the pre-construction support defined in the buyer’s specification and to deliver a focused service at this scale. The selected supplier, Algo (Blairgowrie) Ltd, is the benchmark for an awarded provider, and the two recorded bids indicate competition for the requirement. The available procurement information does not establish particular accreditations, technical qualifications, staffing levels or prior experience as selection conditions, so businesses should avoid assuming these were formal prerequisites. The commercial fit is strongest for suppliers able to respond to a specific pre-construction brief from this research institute. 񟿿
