The project involved designing a tidal sea wall defence at the RSPB Udale reserve and potentially managing subsequent construction contract works. The process, which was tagged under both "award" and "contract," concluded on 23 January 2026 when the contract, valued at £30,435, was awarded to Arthian Consulting, an SME based in Grangemouth. This open procedure was initially advertised with a call to tender on 25 August 2025, with the tender period ending on 26 September 2025, and the award phase commenced on the same day. The delivery of services is expected in the region of UKM5, making the location critical for potential contractors in the vicinity. This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses operating within the services sector, particularly those with expertise in environmental engineering and structural design. Companies that specialise in advanced engineering solutions and have experience in coastal defence projects would find this contract conducive to growth, especially given the potential for extension into construction management. Engaging in this project not only signifies a foothold in significant environmental initiatives but also leverages visibility with RSPB Scotland, a central purchasing body known for conservation efforts. SMEs such as Arthian Consulting prove that smaller entities with niche expertise and competitive pricing can effectively secure these opportunities. ## Notice Design of tidal sea wall defence at RSPB Udale reserve, with potential extension to manage construction contract works tender and construction works. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Single stage quality and price assessment as described in the ITT.
