The contract concerns the maintenance of the Barry Burn Flood Prevention Scheme's grassed/vegetated flood banks in Carnoustie. Although awarded in August 2024, the announcement was backdated, bringing attention to the pertinent details. The buyer is Angus Council, located at Angus House, Forfar, DD8 1AN. At the award stage, the contracting authority selected DUNCAN&CAMERON from Carnoustie to undertake the task of grass cutting to maintain the flood efficiency of the scheme's embankments, ensuring ecological considerations by conducting surveys with an ecologist. Key actions from the contractor were expected throughout the year, indicating an active contract status. This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in landscaping, construction, and ecological maintenance. With grass cutting being a primary requirement, companies with expertise and equipment suited for maintaining large landscape areas would be ideal contenders. The need to manage ecological concerns by coordinating with an ecologist also suggests opportunities for businesses involved in environmental consultancy. The procurement method employed was tendering, with the contract valued between £15,850 and £16,867.78, signalling potential profitability for local enterprises, particularly those proficient in site maintenance and landscaping within the specified locality of Carnoustie and surrounding regions. The selection of DUNCAN&CAMERON as the supplier highlights the competitive nature of bids, having received two valid bids during the process. ## Notice The Barry Burn Flood Prevention Scheme in Carnoustie consists of grassed/vegetated flood banks.To maintain full flood efficiency of the scheme we require to cut the grass/vegetation on the top and sides of the banks. Most of the embankment tops are vehicle accessible, however, there are some areas that will require the use of strimmer's.Angus Council will arrange for an ecologist to survey the area in advance and mark out any areas for exclusion (birds nests etc.) if required. The successful contractor will be required to return later in the year to cut any areas that were excluded for ecological reasons. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB549685 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Feb 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 17 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ANGUS COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; NHS LANARKSHIRE; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; SCOTTISH ASSOCIATION FOR MARINE SCIENCE ('SAMS'); THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL | | Locality | GLENROTHES | | Post town | Kirkcaldy | | Postcode | KY7 5LT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM03 Angus and Dundee City | | Local authority | Angus | | Electoral ward | Forfar and District | | Westminster constituency | Angus and Perthshire Glens | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 8 | | Supplier names | ACE TAXIS PERTH; DUNCAN&CAMERON; EUROPEAN ELECTRONIQUE; FAIRWAYS (GM; HIGHLANDER INTERNATIONAL RECYCLING; MAN TRUCK & BUS; NORTHERN TRUST; ULTIMA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 45112700 - Landscaping work ## Release History - 17 Feb 2026 at 09:52 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB549685 ## Notice URLs - http://www.angus.gov.uk/ - http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.sams.ac.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
