Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council is seeking a contractor to repair a retaining wall and stabilise the slope below it on North High Street in Buckie, Moray. This is a civil engineering and structural works project involving landslip remediation and retaining-wall repairs. The works are to be delivered at the North High Street site in Buckie. The contract uses an NEC4 Option A design-and-build arrangement, with a priced contract and activity schedule. The requirement is grouped as a single package, covering both the wall repairs and slope stabilisation.

The buyer invited offers through an open tender procedure. The submission deadline was 12 November 2026 at 12:00, and the contract is expected to run for 210 days. The estimated contract value is £695,000. The tender sets economic and technical selection requirements: bidders need average annual turnover of at least £1 million over the previous three years, and must provide recent audited financial statements and confirm their financial standing. Required insurance cover is £5 million employer’s liability, £5 million public liability, £1 million product liability and £5 million professional indemnity. Bidders must submit at least three examples of comparable work from the previous five years. The tender does not allow variant bids; offers must be in English and remain valid for 90 days.

This opportunity is suited to civil engineering contractors with demonstrated experience in landslip remediation and retaining-wall repair, particularly on projects of similar scale and complexity. The buyer requires three relevant project examples completed within the previous five years, so firms with a recent track record in slope stabilisation and structural wall repairs are well placed to compete. Bidders also need the financial capacity to meet the turnover threshold and provide the specified insurance cover, alongside evidence from audited accounts. The design-and-build approach may suit contractors able to take responsibility for both design and delivery under a priced activity schedule. The works are a single site-based package in Buckie, requiring capability to coordinate wall repairs with stabilisation of the slope beneath.
