    Ardrossan Redevelopment Cost Advisor

    Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (Utility) · 9 Sept 2026 · T&T · Official notice

    Rationale: CMAL intends to award a contract for Commercial Cost Advisor services in support of the Ardrossan Harbour Redevelopment Project following a further competition conducted under Lot 9 of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework Agreement (Ref. 1025). Prior to tendering, CMAL undertook a capability and capacity assessment across suppliers appointed to the relevant Framework lot. Suppliers assessed as capable of delivering the requirement were invited to participate in a further competition through PCS-Tender. Tenders were evaluated in accordance with the published award criteria and weightings, with Turner & Townsend achieving the highest overall score and being identified as the preferred bidder. CMAL is procuring these services in connection with activities that fall within the scope of the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 ("UCR"). The Scotland Excel Framework was established under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 ("PCR"). CMAL has obtained legal advice regarding the use of the Framework for this requirement. CMAL considers that: it is entitled to access and use the Framework as an authorised user; the services required fall within the scope of the Framework and the relevant lot; the Framework was established through a transparent and competitive procurement process; and the further competition has provided a fair and competitive opportunity to capable Framework suppliers. CMAL acknowledges that use of a Framework established under PCR for a requirement falling within UCR may give rise to an arguable technical procurement risk. However, having regard to the competitive process used to establish the Framework, CMAL's entitlement to use it, the scope alignment of the services, and the competitive further competition undertaken, CMAL considers there to be a reasonable and proportionate basis for proceeding with the proposed award. Accordingly, CMAL is publishing this VEAT notice in the interests of transparency and intends to conclude the contract following expiry of a voluntary standstill period, provided no successful challenge is received.

    UK05 - Validation and Review of the Army’s Physical Employment Test

    Ministry of Defence · 9 Sept 2026 · University of Chichester · Official notice

    Rationale: The Ministry of Defence are seeking to place a direct award contract under PA23 with the University of Chichester. The purpose of the contract will be to re-validate the findings produced by University of Chichester under previous Army contracts to determine whether the Army's Physical Employment Test and Role Fitness Test (Soldier) remain operationally relevant, scientifically valid, legally defensible, proportionate, and practicable against contemporary military tasks and employment demands. The University possesses the required background and technical knowledge/experience to undertake the work required and have conducted similar work for the Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and NATO. They also conducted the original testing which underpins the current PES and RFT(S) and hold the existing research, methodology, technical reports, assumptions and development history for the requirement. As such the MOD have opted to utilise Schedule 5 of the Procurement Act 2023: Abscence of competition for technical reasons for this procurement.

    Prison Intelligence Notifications System (PINS)

    South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority · 9 Sept 2026 · Saadian Technologies Ltd · Official notice

    Rationale: The route to market is via direct award using the GCA G-Cloud 14 framework. This was identified by procurement as the best option for placing a contract with Saadian Technologies for the renewal of the incumbent PINS licenses, with a vendor-only license renewal and support agreement, which no other 3rd party can provide. As such, the G-Cloud direct award process proved the most appropriate, compliant route and there were no tender submissions to evaluate.
