OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council is seeking a consultancy to provide engineering and professional services relating to flooding and drainage. The work is intended to be delivered across the Falkirk Council area, supporting the Council’s requirements through a framework call-off contract. The scope is described as flooding- and drainage-related services, rather than a defined construction project or a list of specific design or maintenance tasks. The procurement is for services, including civil engineering consultancy (CPV 71311000). It is suited to firms that can provide professional engineering advice and services in both flood risk and drainage, and that can respond to call-off requirements for the Council area. The contract includes community benefits as part of the requirement.

Falkirk Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 16:00, and bids were to be submitted electronically. The contract term is 720 days, with an optional 24-month extension. The stated contract value is £1.4 million. The procurement is arranged as one lot and uses a framework agreement with a single participant. Evaluation is weighted 40% for quality and 60% for price. Tenderers must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract; variants are not permitted. The bid validity period runs to 31 March 2027. The buyer scheduled the award period to begin at the submission deadline. The procurement is stated to recur, depending on whether the extension is used.

This opportunity is most relevant to engineering consultancies with established capability in flooding and drainage, able to supply professional services across the Falkirk Council area through call-offs. Firms should be able to identify the staff they would assign and provide their names and qualifications. The requirement also includes community benefits, so bidders should be prepared to address these in their proposals. Quality accounts for a substantial part of the evaluation, alongside price, making relevant technical capability and a credible delivery approach important. The procurement documents include an insurance certificate and a quality submission section, so suppliers should review those requirements when assessing whether their cover and proposal resources are suitable.
