## Summary

Green Action Trust is seeking a consultant for the Dargavel Burn Restoration and Weir Removal Project. The work is professional design consultancy covering Developed and Technical Design at RIBA Stages 3 and 4, taking the project from concept design to a build-ready technical design. The scope includes river restoration, biodiversity and landscape improvements, ecological and environmental assessments, flood modelling, stakeholder engagement, surveys and investigations, statutory consents including EASR and planning permission, and NEC4 tender documentation for the construction stage. The consultant may also support construction procurement and delivery, including project management, principal designer, supervisor, ecological and geomorphological duties. The work relates to engineering design services (CPV 71320000) and is delivered for the Dargavel project.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a restricted procedure, with five candidates to be invited to the second stage. Responses must be submitted electronically by 9 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The estimated contract period is 360 days, with an estimated value of £350,000. The planned invitation date is 30 October 2026, and bids must remain valid until 31 January 2028. Variants are not allowed. The evaluation requires bidders to be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register in their country of establishment. The tender also requires staff names and qualifications, and submissions must be in English. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with details to be provided to shortlisted applicants.

This opportunity suits multidisciplinary environmental, river restoration and civil engineering consultancies able to develop a concept into a construction-ready design. Relevant capability includes biodiversity and landscape design, ecological and environmental assessment, flood-risk modelling, contaminated-land and ecological constraint management, stakeholder engagement, surveys, investigations and preparation of planning and EASR consents. Suppliers should be able to produce NEC4 construction tender documentation and demonstrate how design risks and constraints will be resolved and recorded. Experience supporting construction procurement and delivery would be valuable, including NEC4 Principal Project Manager, Principal Designer and Supervisor responsibilities, as well as ecological and geomorphological supervision. Bidders must be registered on the relevant professional or trade register and provide the names and qualifications of proposed staff.

## Notice

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Consultant shall deliver Developed and Technical Designs (RIBA Stages 3 and 4), producing a multidisciplinary, build-ready design based on the Concept Design (RIBA 2). Services will include delivering the river restoration Developed and Technical Designs (RIBA 3 and RIBA 4) incorporating biodiversity and landscape improvements, ecological and environmental assessments, flood modelling ensuring no increase in flood risk, meaningful stakeholder engagement, preparation of statutory consents (including EASR and Planning Permission), and the production of NEC4 tender documentation for the build stage (RIBA 5). Design will take into account all relevant constraints, most importantly contaminated land, flood risk and ecological sensitivities. Design decisions will be logged demonstrating that constraints and risks have been acceptably designed out of the final Technical Designs suitable for build.

It is expected that the appointed Consultant may also support procurement and provide professional services during the construction phase (RIBA Stage 5), including NEC4 Principal Project Manager, Principal Designer, and Supervisor duties, together with ecological and geomorphological supervision. An Indicative Scope of Services is included in Appendix 1 of the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire. Overall, the Consultant's role is to take the project from Concept Design through to completion of Technical Design (RIBA 4), secure all necessary approvals and permissions, undertake required surveys and investigations, prepare works tender documentation, and support successful delivery through construction.
