The requirement is described as a direct award from Lot 5 of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework; the associated work is flood-prevention services. The scheme concerns Portessie, and the buyer is Moray Council, based in Elgin. This is consultancy procurement supporting a flood protection project, rather than a contract for construction works as described in the available information. The award was made to Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, an engineering consultancy headquartered in Skipton. The procurement has been awarded and the contract is recorded as active. Moray Council made a direct award to a single supplier without competition, drawing on Lot 5 of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework. Jeremy Benn Associates Limited was selected for £53,178.82. The award concerns consultancy for the Portessie Flood Protection Scheme. The procurement record does not provide an award date or contract period, so there are no dates to report for the award or delivery term. One bid is recorded. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are stated in the available award information. For engineering and technical consultancies working on flood-risk management, this award shows Moray Council buying specialist consultancy for a local flood protection scheme through a Scotland Excel framework. A credible competitor when a comparable requirement returns would need relevant engineering and technical consultancy capability for flood-prevention schemes, with the capacity to support the council’s project needs. The selected supplier, Jeremy Benn Associates Limited, is an engineering consultancy, and the route used here was a framework direct award rather than an open competition. Framework access and relevant project experience are therefore commercially pertinent to suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer. The award demonstrates a requirement for a focused consultancy engagement, not evidence of a wider construction contract. ## Notice Direct Award from Lot 5 of Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework as per attached documentation. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566692 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | 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 | £53,178 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Moray Council | | Additional buyers | Falkirk Council; Fife Council; NHS Fife; NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde; NHS Lanarkshire; North Lanarkshire Council; Perth & Kinross Council; Registers of Scotland; Scottish Enterprise; Scottish Environment Protection Agency; Scottish Government | | Locality | ELGIN | | Postcode area | Inverness | | Postcode | IV30 1BX | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Moray | | Electoral ward | Elgin City North | | Westminster constituency | Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 33 | | Supplier names | Jeremy Benn Associates Limited; 15489790; GRITIT; GGS Agri Ltd; Iken Business Limited; Venesky Brown Ltd; Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd; ERS Ltd; McTaggart Construction Ltd; Fleming Buildings Ltd; Intersource Medical Services Ltd; thermo fisher scientific; Agilent Technologies LDA UK Ltd; Kevin Kulik; Scorpio Safety Systems Ltd; Change Grow Live Services Ltd; National Centre for Social Research; EKOS; TownRock Energy; AECOM; Landcare Solutions (Scotland) Ltd; Thinks Insight & Strategy; Laboratory Specialist Services Ltd; Gerald Eve LLP; G3 Consulting Engineers Limited; BMI Ross Hall Hospital; Kings Park Hospital; Elanic Ltd; Nuffield Health; Spire Healthcare; SKODA UK; Perth Radio Taxis Limited; Quo Imus Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45246400 - Flood-prevention works ## Release History - 15 Oct 2026 at 09:55 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566692 ## Notice URLs - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://www.falkirk.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.moray.gov.uk - http://www.nhsfife.org - http://www.nhsggc.scot/about-us/procurement/ - http://www.nhslanarkshire.org.uk - http://www.pkc.gov.uk - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottish-enterprise.com/ - http://www.sepa.org.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
