The work is intended to be delivered across the Falkirk Council area, supporting the Council’s requirements through a framework call-off contract. The scope is described as flooding- and drainage-related services, rather than a defined construction project or a list of specific design or maintenance tasks. The procurement is for services, including civil engineering consultancy (CPV 71311000). It is suited to firms that can provide professional engineering advice and services in both flood risk and drainage, and that can respond to call-off requirements for the Council area. The contract includes community benefits as part of the requirement. Falkirk Council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 30 November 2026 at 16:00, and bids were to be submitted electronically. The contract term is 720 days, with an optional 24-month extension. The stated contract value is £1.4 million. The procurement is arranged as one lot and uses a framework agreement with a single participant. Evaluation is weighted 40% for quality and 60% for price. Tenderers must provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the contract; variants are not permitted. The bid validity period runs to 31 March 2027. The buyer scheduled the award period to begin at the submission deadline. The procurement is stated to recur, depending on whether the extension is used. This opportunity is most relevant to engineering consultancies with established capability in flooding and drainage, able to supply professional services across the Falkirk Council area through call-offs. Firms should be able to identify the staff they would assign and provide their names and qualifications. The requirement also includes community benefits, so bidders should be prepared to address these in their proposals. Quality accounts for a substantial part of the evaluation, alongside price, making relevant technical capability and a credible delivery approach important. The procurement documents include an insurance certificate and a quality submission section, so suppliers should review those requirements when assessing whether their cover and proposal resources are suitable. ## Notice Falkirk Council intend to engage a firm of consultants to undertake the provision of Flooding and Drainage related Engineering and Professional Services through a Framework 'call-off' Contract. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Falkirk Council intend to engage a firm of consultants to undertake the provision of Flooding and Drainage related Engineering and Professional Services through a Framework 'call-off' Contract Renewal: Optional extension of 24 months included as part of this contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566951 | | Notice type | OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | 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 | 20 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Dependant on optional 24 month extension, either late 2029 or late 2031. | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,400,000 | | Lots value | £1,400,000 | | 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 | Falkirk Council | | Locality | LARBERT | | Postcode area | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK5 4RU | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM12 Falkirk | | Local authority | Falkirk | | Electoral ward | Bonnybridge and Larbert | | Westminster constituency | Alloa and Grangemouth | | Delivery location | TLM76 Falkirk | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services ## Release History - 20 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566951 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566951 IT0043 Flooding Term Commission 2027-2031 - Falkirk Council intend to engage a firm of consultants to undertake the provision of Flooding and Drainage related Engineering and Professional Services through a Framework 'call-off' Contract. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.falkirk.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=845974 - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000845974 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=845974 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
