The work concerns assessing the feasibility of improving or creating active travel links, such as routes for walking and cycling, in Angus. Angus Council is the buying organisation, with the schemes located around Hillside and Craigo in the council area. The procurement falls under CPV 71311000, civil engineering consultancy services. The requirement was presented as a work package under the Scotland Excel Framework for Engineering and Technical Consultancy Services, reference 0820, indicating a need for consultancy expertise relevant to transport infrastructure and active travel planning. This procurement has been awarded following a competitive selection procedure under the Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework. Two bids were recorded. AECOM Limited was selected for the work, with an awarded value of £25,000. The related contract is active and was signed on 12 June 2022. The award covers the feasibility-study work for both the Angus disused railway lines and Hillside to Craigo active travel schemes. The stated procurement category is services, with civil engineering consultancy as the relevant classification. The outcome provides evidence of a completed competitive framework call-off rather than an unawarded requirement; Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited is also identified as a supplier involved in the process. This award indicates demand from Angus Council for specialist consultancy capable of developing feasibility studies for active travel and transport infrastructure schemes. A credible future competitor would need civil engineering consultancy expertise, with the ability to assess route options, engineering constraints, deliverability and the practical case for walking and cycling links. Experience of disused railway corridors and routes connecting settlements such as Hillside and Craigo would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to operate through, or have access to, the relevant Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework and be able to deliver a focused work package covering more than one scheme. The requirement is suited to established multidisciplinary consultancies with active travel and infrastructure feasibility experience. ## Notice You are invited to submit a tender under the competitive selection procedure of the Scotland Excel Framework for Engineering and Technical Consultancy Services: Ref 0820 for a proposed Work Package for the above two Active Travel schemes.
