The brief

Transport Scotland undertook a public procurement competition for the provision of Archaeology Services, which are required on Transport Scotland projects.

The services comprise of Invasive Archaeology Services, Non-Invasive Archaeology Services and Advisory Services.

Over the forthcoming years, there a number of projects which shall require such archaeological services.

These include, but are not limited to: - A9 Dualling Programme; and - A96 Dualling Programme Due to the repeat need for these services, coupled with the exact requirement and timings being unknown, it was considered that these services would be best met through the use of a Framework Agreement.

Furthermore, due to the nature and quantum of the services, the services are divided into 3 lots: - Lot 1 – Advisory Services; - Lot 2 – Low Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values <100k GBP) - Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP) Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows: - Lot 1, 5M GBP - Lot 2, 0.25M GBP - Lot 3, 21M GBP Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

Transport Scotland conducted the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
