## Summary

Argyll and Bute Council commissioned mechanical and electrical engineering support for its marine infrastructure. The service provides technical advice, assurance and support for the operation, inspection and maintenance of marine assets, as well as lifecycle management. It is consultancy and operational support for a public-sector marine infrastructure portfolio, rather than a contract to supply equipment or carry out specified construction works. The council is the client and buyer. The awarded supplier is Haskoning UK Ltd, based in Peterborough; the procurement data does not identify specific delivery sites within the council’s area. The work is relevant to engineering consultancies with marine infrastructure expertise, particularly firms able to advise on asset operations and maintenance and provide technical assurance across infrastructure over its lifecycle.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Argyll and Bute Council selected Haskoning UK Ltd through a direct award to a single supplier without competition. The award date and contract signing date were both 9 January 2026. The recorded award value is £358,920. This is an estimate based on the consultant’s priced activity schedule, assuming each identified activity occurs at least once a year; actual expenditure depends on demand for mechanical and electrical support. No contract start or end date, duration, lot structure, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are recorded. The procurement records one bid, but do not establish that this was the basis on which the direct award was evaluated.

This award demonstrates demand from Argyll and Bute Council for specialist mechanical and electrical engineering support linked to marine infrastructure operations. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show technical capability across operational advice, assurance, inspection and maintenance, and lifecycle management—not only design or installation expertise. The service spans multiple kinds of support, with activity driven by the council’s requirements, so suppliers should be able to respond to a variable workload rather than rely on a fixed schedule of interventions. Relevant marine infrastructure experience and the ability to advise the public-sector client on the ongoing operation and upkeep of its assets would be important. The contract was awarded directly to one supplier, so it also illustrates a route the council has used for this requirement.
