Summary of the contracting process

Angus Council is seeking a principal contractor for enabling infrastructure works for a new rural Mobility Hub in Forfar, Angus. The scope is the infrastructure needed to prepare the site and support the hub; the procurement does not cover the hub itself. The work is classified as construction and includes ground preparation, road and transport infrastructure, drainage, landscaping and fencing. Angus Council is the buying organisation, and the work will be delivered in Forfar. This is a single package for a main contractor to manage and deliver the enabling works, rather than separate contracts for the different construction disciplines.

The buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure, with electronic submission. This is a two-stage process: between five and eight candidates are to be selected for the second stage, with invitations planned for 2 December 2026. The offer deadline set by the buyer was 9 November 2026 at 12:00. The estimated contract value is £4.65 million, and the contract period is 360 days. Evaluation gives price a 70% weighting and quality 30%. Selection requirements are those in the Single Procurement Document. Variants are not allowed, and bids must remain valid for 90 days. A performance guarantee bond equivalent to 10% of the contract sum is required for the full contract period.

This opportunity suits an experienced principal contractor able to coordinate and deliver a multi-discipline enabling-works package for a public mobility project. Relevant capabilities include site preparation and groundworks, road and transport infrastructure, drainage, landscaping and fencing, with the capacity to manage these activities as one integrated contract in Forfar. The successful contractor must provide a performance guarantee bond worth 10% of the contract sum throughout delivery, so bidders need the financial capacity to secure and maintain that guarantee. Staff names and qualifications must be included in the tender, making it important to identify the proposed delivery team. Community benefits are part of the requirement, with the detailed commitments to be set out in the tender documents. Subcontracting is also contemplated.
