The requirement sits within engineering and technical consultancy, specifically civil engineering consultancy services (CPV 71311000). The work concerns developing the concept design for an active travel scheme, supporting the planning of routes and facilities intended for active travel. Angus Council is the buying organisation, based in Forfar. The procurement was run as a work package under the Scotland Excel Framework for Engineering and Technical Consultancy Services, reference 0820. This is relevant to consultancies that provide civil engineering, transport planning or active travel design services and that operate within the relevant framework arrangement. The identified supplier is Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited, based in London. The procurement has been awarded. Angus Council selected Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited following a competitive selection procedure under the Scotland Excel engineering and technical consultancy framework. Two bids were recorded. The award value is £1.00, in GBP. The contract was signed on 12 June 2022 and is recorded as active. The procurement relates to a single work package for the Friockheim to Angus Active Travel Scheme concept design. The route was competitive within the framework rather than a direct award. The available process information identifies the procurement as a services requirement and classifies it as civil engineering consultancy. The outcome shows that the buyer used a framework competition to appoint a consultant for this defined design commission. For a supplier assessing future work from Angus Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist civil engineering consultancy to develop active travel scheme concepts through a Scotland Excel framework competition. A credible competitor would need experience of active travel and transport infrastructure design, together with the technical capability to produce concept-stage engineering advice for a council-led scheme. Familiarity with public-sector consultancy commissions and the requirements of framework work packages would be directly relevant. The award also shows that the buyer uses competitive selection among framework suppliers, so firms need a strong, clearly presented technical response and the capacity to undertake a focused design commission. Transport planning, civil engineering and active travel specialists are therefore the best fit for comparable requirements from this buyer. ## 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 Active Travel Scheme.
