The commission is to lead, manage and coordinate all activities needed to move the project from its existing temporary mitigation arrangements to a permanent, fully engineered road solution and then to a construction contract. This is a professional engineering and project-management service supporting the development and delivery of permanent road infrastructure. The work is associated with civil engineering design for road construction, classified under CPV 71311000. The requirement concerns the landslip location at Bealach Mor and is intended for a consultant able to coordinate the transition from temporary measures through design, project development and preparation for construction. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-lot requirement. The tender deadline and bid-opening time were set for 25 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with the award period starting at that time. The contract period is 660 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after submission, and bidders must submit in English. A fee applies for obtaining tender documents. Variants are not allowed. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, and electronic invoicing is allowed. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The published tender includes an Invitation to Tender, existing information, an activity schedule, contract data, scope and contract clauses. This opportunity suits civil engineering consultancies and road infrastructure specialists that can take ownership of a landslip remediation project from temporary mitigation through permanent solution and construction procurement. The successful consultant will need to lead, manage and coordinate the activities required to develop a fully engineered road solution and progress it towards a subsequent construction contract. It is suited to firms able to combine technical road and geotechnical engineering with structured project management, stakeholder coordination and preparation of construction-contract information. Bidders must identify the names and professional qualifications of the staff assigned to the work, so an appropriately qualified delivery team is important. Suppliers should also be prepared to address subcontracting provisions and non-evaluated community benefits within delivery arrangements. ## Notice Argyll and Bute Council require a Consultant to lead, manage and coordinate all activities necessary to progress the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project from the existing temporary mitigation arrangements towards a permanent, fully engineered road solution and subsequent construction contract. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Argyll and Bute Council require a Consultant to lead, manage and coordinate all activities necessary to progress the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project from the existing temporary mitigation arrangements towards a permanent, fully engineered road solution and subsequent construction contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562879 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - 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 | 21 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 25 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 | Argyll and Bute Council | | Locality | LOCHGILPHEAD | | Postcode area | Paisley | | Postcode | PA31 8RT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Argyll and Bute | | Electoral ward | Mid Argyll | | Westminster constituency | Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber | | Delivery location | TLM63 Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran and Cumbrae, and Argyll and Bute | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services ## Release History - 21 Aug 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562879 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG562879 A816 Bealach Mor Permanent Solution Business Case - Argyll and Bute Council require a Consultant to lead, manage and coordinate all activities necessary to progress the A816 Bealach Mor Landslip Project from the existing temporary mitigation arrangements towards a permanent, fully engineered road solution and subsequent construction contract. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=840887 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000840887 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
