## Summary

Green Action Trust is seeking a suitably qualified consultant for the Dargavel Burn Restoration and Weir Removal Project. The work covers engineering design services for the Developed and Technical Design stages (RIBA 3 and 4), taking the scheme from concept design to a build-ready technical design. The consultant will develop river restoration, biodiversity and landscape improvements; carry out ecological, environmental and flood-risk assessments and modelling; undertake stakeholder engagement; prepare statutory consents, including EASR and planning permission; and produce NEC4 tender documents for the construction stage. The design must address contaminated land, flood risk and ecological sensitivities, with decisions and risk controls documented. The work is for the Dargavel Burn project in Scotland, with possible support through construction, including project management, design, supervision and ecological and geomorphological services.

The procurement has reached tender: Green Action Trust invited offers using a selective restricted procedure. It is a single-lot competition, with five candidates to be invited to the second stage. Bids must be submitted electronically in English by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 BST. The estimated contract duration is 360 days. The estimated value is £350,000. The invitation to participate is scheduled for 30 October 2026. Bids must remain valid until 31 January 2028 at 23:59 UTC. Variants are not permitted. Selection information is set out in the PQQ, including economic and technical requirements. Suppliers must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register, and the evaluation requires staff names and qualifications.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary engineering and environmental design consultancies able to take a river restoration scheme from concept through detailed, construction-ready design. Relevant capability includes river and weir restoration, biodiversity and landscape design, ecological and environmental assessment, flood modelling, contaminated-land and ecological-risk management, stakeholder engagement, statutory consents and preparation of NEC4 construction tender documents. Suppliers should be able to coordinate surveys and investigations, maintain a clear design and risk decision trail, and demonstrate sufficient professional staff for the commission. Firms with experience supporting construction delivery may be well placed for the potential follow-on services, including NEC4 Principal Project Manager, Principal Designer and Supervisor duties, as well as ecological and geomorphological supervision. Participation requires registration in the relevant professional or trade register.

## Notice

Green Action Trust wishes to appoint a suitably qualified Consultant to deliver the Developed and Technical Design stages (RIBA 3 and 4) for the Dargavel Burn Restoration and Weir Removal Project. The commission may be extended to provide preparation and supervision of the RIBA 5 Works procurement and delivery stages respectively.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Consultant shall deliver Developed and Technical Designs (RIBA Stages 3 and 4), producing a multidisciplinary, build-ready design based on the Concept Design (RIBA 2). Services will include delivering the river restoration Developed and Technical Designs (RIBA 3 and RIBA 4) incorporating biodiversity and landscape improvements, ecological and environmental assessments, flood modelling ensuring no increase in flood risk, meaningful stakeholder engagement, preparation of statutory consents (including EASR and Planning Permission), and the production of NEC4 tender documentation for the build stage (RIBA 5). Design will take into account all relevant constraints, most importantly contaminated land, flood risk and ecological sensitivities. Design decisions will be logged demonstrating that constraints and risks have been acceptably designed out of the final Technical Designs suitable for build. Current funding allows for the procurement of services for Developed and Technical Designs (RIBA Stages 3 and 4) to allow for a Construction tender to be compiled. It is expected that the appointed Consultant may also support procurement and provide professional services during the construction phase (RIBA Stage 5), including NEC4 Principal Project Manager, Principal Designer, and Supervisor duties, together with ecological and geomorphological supervision. An Indicative Scope of Services is included in Appendix 1 of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Overall, the Consultant's role is to take the project from Concept Design through to completion of Technical Design (RIBA 4), secure all necessary approvals and permissions, undertake required surveys and investigations, prepare works tender documentation, and support successful delivery through construction.
