Summary of the contracting process

Historic Environment Scotland is seeking construction contractors to repair and underpin a section of the existing sea wall at Fort George North Glacis. The work involves temporary propping, excavation from the beach side, installing and securing formwork, and placing mass concrete beneath the wall. Contractors must then remove the formwork and reinstate the beach. The site is at Fort George, near Ardersier, Inverness. This is a civil engineering works requirement focused on sea-wall repair and structural support. Historic Environment Scotland is the buying organisation. The scope is limited to one section of the sea wall and includes the associated beach-side excavation and reinstatement.
