Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured consultant services for principal inspections of bridges. The work is specialist bridge inspection and assessment, intended to give the council professional inspections of its bridge assets. The requirement covered one lot and was delivered in the Perth and Kinross area of Scotland. The council was the buyer, and the contract was awarded to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The council used an open procedure, with the award made against Lot 1 of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework Agreement. Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited was selected. The contract value is £180,432.58. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026. Four bids were received, including two from small and medium-sized enterprises; all four were electronic submissions. No award date or contract period is stated in the available process details.

This award demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for specialist principal bridge inspections, procured through the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework. A credible competitor would need to offer consultants with relevant bridge-inspection qualifications and experience, as those capabilities were central to the requirement. The competition attracted four submissions, including two from SMEs, indicating that smaller consultancies also competed. Firms seeking comparable work with this buyer should be able to deliver professional inspections of bridge assets and compete through the relevant framework route.
