## Summary

The East Lothian Council is seeking consultancy services for the "Consultancy Services for Musselburgh Flood Protection Scheme". This project falls under the general public services category and is located in Musselburgh, East Lothian.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in environmental consultancy and flood risk management.

The Services are required to address the requirement of the Council, and the Local Flood Risk Management Plan, to reduce the flood risk to Musselburgh. The Employer wishes to appoint a Design Consultant to provide full consultancy services for the development of a flood protection scheme for Musselburgh. It is envisaged that this will include the following main services: 1. The development and design of a Flood Protection Scheme; 2. The obtaining of the legal permissions to deliver the Scheme; and 3.

It is highlighted that notwithstanding that these nine stages comprise the Contract that progress through the stages will depend on: (i) available funding; and (ii) necessary approvals being obtained from the Project Board for the commencement of each individual stage after a stage-gate review. The Council therefore reserves the right to terminate the appointment of the Consultant at any stage without penalty..
