Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council commissioned professional consultancy services to develop the existing concept design for an active travel route linking Shewalton Roundabout in Irvine with the village of Drybridge. The work concerns the design development of the route, rather than construction of the route itself, and is identified as transportation and traffic engineering consultancy. Delivery is associated with Irvine and Drybridge in North Ayrshire. The council is the buyer. The requirement sits within engineering and technical consultancy, specifically transportation and traffic engineering, and forms part of the council’s work to advance the proposed active travel connection. The contracted design work covers RIBA Stages 3 and 4.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Project Centre Limited. It was a direct award through the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy framework, under its transportation and traffic engineering lot; the tender record also identifies an open procedure. One bid was recorded. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and is scheduled to run from 23 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £81,544.20. The award is for a single lot covering development of the active travel route concept design. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details, so the recorded outcome is the selected supplier and signed contract rather than a reported scoring or award rationale.

For firms competing for similar work from North Ayrshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist transport and traffic engineering consultancy to develop active travel route designs beyond the concept stage. Relevant capability includes progressing a route design through RIBA Stages 3 and 4, and working with an existing concept for a connection between Shewalton Roundabout and Drybridge. The selected supplier, Project Centre Limited, was appointed through the Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework’s transportation and traffic engineering lot, so a credible competitor would need access to the relevant framework route as well as suitable design expertise. This is a focused consultancy requirement for a defined route, rather than a construction contract. The work is suitable for firms able to deliver transport design development for a local authority in North Ayrshire.
