The appointed supplier will produce a detailed scope and implementation plan for a strategy intended to position the area as a leading destination for investment. The work covers investment strategy development, economic and market analysis, planning and implementation advice, and related technical consultancy. Delivery is in Clackmannanshire, with the council based in Alloa. This is a public-sector services opportunity for consultancies able to combine strategic economic development with practical plans for attracting and supporting investment. The requirement also includes community benefits, such as knowledge transfer, local supply-chain opportunities, mentoring or training for third-sector organisations, and responding to community priorities. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 18 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC; bids are scheduled to open at the same time, and the evaluation period starts then. The contract period is 180 days. There is one lot covering the investment strategy consultancy, with no variants or renewals. Bids must be submitted in English, and bidders must provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. Community-benefit commitments form part of the requirement. This opportunity suits economic development, investment promotion and management consultancy firms that can research an area’s investment potential, develop a clear strategy and turn it into an implementable programme. Strong candidates will be able to produce structured scopes of work, practical delivery plans and evidence-based advice for a local authority. The requirement is also relevant to multidisciplinary teams combining strategy, economic analysis, planning and investment expertise. Suppliers should have suitably qualified staff whose names and professional qualifications can be submitted with the bid, and the capacity to complete the assignment within the required delivery period. Firms able to offer knowledge transfer, mentoring, third-sector training or local SME supply-chain opportunities will be better aligned with the community-benefit expectations. ## Notice The supplier will provide a detailed scope and implementation plan to Produce a Clackmannanshire Investment Strategy that positions Clackmannanshire as a leading destination for investment ### Lot Information Lot 1 The supplier will provide a detailed scope and implementation plan to Produce a Clackmannanshire Investment Strategy that positions Clackmannanshire as a leading destination for investment. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562901 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Sep 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Clackmannanshire Council | | Locality | ALLOA | | Postcode area | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK10 1EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Clackmannanshire | | Electoral ward | Clackmannanshire South | | Westminster constituency | Alloa and Grangemouth | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis - 71356400 - Technical planning services - 71400000 - Urban planning and landscape architectural services - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 73420000 - Pre-feasibility study and technological demonstration - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79314000 - Feasibility study ## Release History - 24 Aug 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562901 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562901 Investment Strategy Consultancy - The supplier will provide a detailed scope and implementation plan to Produce a Clackmannanshire Investment Strategy that positions Clackmannanshire as a leading destination for investment ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.clacks.gov.uk/business/corporateprocurementprocess/ - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000839755 - https://ctsi.org.uk/community-benefits - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=839755 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=839755 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
