What is being bought

Published requirement description

The purpose of this Invitation to Tender (ITT) is to appoint a supplier to deliver the Grangemouth Strategic Spatial Framework study to Scottish Enterprise.

The work is intended to provide a practical, infrastructure-led and investment-focused tool to support decision-making around land, infrastructure, sequencing and investment readiness, rather than producing a fixed masterplan or statutory zoning document.

It is anticipated that the contract will start on c. 26 October 2026 for a period of 6 months. The estimated total value associated with this contract is expected to be in the region of between GBP146,000 and GBP208,000 excluding VAT.

Full details of the specification can be found within the Invitation to Tender (ITT).

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 130 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “P27-0023: Grangemouth – Strategic Spatial Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
