Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council is seeking a contractor to build an accessible active-travel route for walking and cycling around Crieff and Comrie. The works are identified as Phase 1 and Phase 3A of the CMRI 126 project. The route is intended to make active travel more accessible. The Council has secured funding for Phase 1; Phase 3A is subject to funding approval. The delivery location is in the Perth area of Scotland. The required works are road and route construction, including construction of cycle paths (CPV 45233161).

The Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 120 days. The estimated value is £490,000. Bidders had to provide a price for Phase 1 and a combined price for Phase 1 and Phase 3A; the Council is not obliged to award Phase 3A if its funding is not secured. Award was scheduled to begin at the submission deadline. Bids were to be assessed against economic and technical selection requirements: financial ratios and insurance, relevant work examples, and quality, health and safety, and environmental management arrangements. Two examples of similar works completed in the previous five years were required. Bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This opportunity is suited to construction contractors with experience delivering accessible walking and cycling infrastructure and the capacity to complete the works within the required contract period. Bidders need to demonstrate two examples of similar works delivered in the previous five years and provide named staff with their qualifications. Financial checks cover current ratio and net assets for the previous two financial years; contractors outside the stated benchmarks may explain their position with supporting evidence. Required insurance includes employer’s liability cover of £10 million and public liability cover of £5 million. Contractors must demonstrate quality management, health and safety, and environmental management, either through the specified accredited certificates or accepted documented policies and procedures. Community benefits form part of the requirement, offering scope for suppliers able to deliver such outcomes.
