Dumfries and Galloway Council has started the search for a contractor to deliver early involvement and construction works on the £37.5m Whitesands flood protection and public realm project.

The council is seeking a single supplier for a two-stage process covering early contractor involvement (ECI) and the main works at Whitesands in Dumfries.

ECI in stage one will involve the successful consultant collaborating with scheme designers to finalise detailed designs, attending workshops, and offering construction advice to optimise buildability, cost, and efficiency.

Stage two will see the contractor deliver the full construction programme, including health and safety management, site and traffic management, waste handling, and planning condition discharge, the council said in a prior information notice.

Interested firms must submit bids by 12pm on 27 May via the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

The works will be procured through an open procedure, with quality carrying a 60 per cent weighting and price 40 per cent.

The contract is set to run for 36 months.
