## Summary

Scottish Enterprise is seeking a supplier to carry out intrusive ground investigation and analysis at Energy Park Fife in Methil, Fife. The work is a specialist ground investigation service, covering site investigation activities and analysis of ground conditions; the stated classification is CPV 71351500. The requirement is for one supplier under a single lot. The resulting work will support development activity at the energy park. Scottish Enterprise is the buying organisation. The contract documentation includes a technical specification, bill of quantities, pre-construction health and safety information and NEC4 engineering and construction short contract terms. This opportunity is therefore suited to firms that undertake intrusive site investigation, ground engineering and associated analytical or reporting services for development sites.

The procurement has reached tender: Scottish Enterprise invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 16 September 2026 at 11:00, with bid opening at 12:00 the same day. The contract is anticipated to start in late October 2026 and run for about five months. Its expected value is between £45,000 and £60,000 excluding VAT, with a maximum stated value of £60,000. Bids must remain valid for 90 days and be submitted in English; variants are not allowed. Evaluation uses economic and technical selection criteria, with relevant requirements set out in the SPD Scotland module. Bidders must provide staff names and qualifications and complete the required climate change plan template. Regulation 58 exclusion grounds apply.

This opportunity suits an established ground investigation or geotechnical consultancy with the in-house or partnered capability to plan and deliver intrusive investigation, analyse findings and provide technically robust outputs for an energy park development. Suppliers should be able to provide suitably qualified staff and demonstrate the economic and technical standing required through the SPD Scotland selection process. The requirement may suit specialist contractors, engineering consultancies or collaborative bids combining field investigation and analytical expertise. A lead organisation can rely on the capacity of other entities, provided each relevant entity submits the required SPD information. Subcontracting is possible, but proposed subcontractors must complete the relevant exclusion-ground declarations where they are not relied upon for selection. Bidders must also complete the climate change plan template and address pre-construction health and safety requirements.
