## Summary

Falkirk Council is seeking a consultancy firm to provide engineering and professional services for flooding and drainage work. The requirement is a framework call-off contract, covering civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000). The work is for Falkirk Council and is to be delivered in Falkirk. The procurement is arranged as one lot, intended to appoint a single framework supplier. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with the expected benefits to be set out in the contract documentation. The work concerns flooding and drainage rather than general engineering consultancy, so it is most relevant to firms with expertise in those areas and the ability to provide associated professional services to a local authority.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has one lot and is intended to appoint one supplier. The estimated value is £1,400,000. The contract period is 720 days, with an optional extension of 24 months. Bids were due by 30 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC; the stated bid opening time was the same. Quality accounts for 40% of the evaluation and price for 60%. Variants are not allowed, and submissions must be in English. The requirement is a framework call-off contract, and a supplier must provide the names and qualifications of the staff assigned to perform it. Community benefits are included, with detail governed by the contract documentation.

This opportunity suits consultancies with demonstrable capability in flooding and drainage engineering and related professional services. Suppliers should be equipped to provide named staff and their qualifications, and to deliver work for a local authority through a framework call-off arrangement. The intended single-supplier appointment means bidders should be able to cover the requirement as a whole, rather than rely on separate lot awards. Community benefits are part of the requirement, and the expected commitments are addressed in the contract documentation. The work may also suit firms experienced in delivering public-sector consultancy and managing the practical demands of flood and drainage commissions.
