When this comes round again

Transport Scotland has published 12 Construction notices, about every 5 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around January 2027.

31% of Transport Scotland’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the need for specialist Ground Investigation (GI) works to support the delivery of infrastructure projects.

The procurement comprises the establishment of a Multi-supplier Framework Agreement (MSFA) with a number of ground investigation contractors to carry out and report on GI works of varying scope, complexity and value in connection with trunk road and other transport infrastructure schemes promoted by the Scottish Ministers through Transport Scotland.

Once the MSFA is concluded, individual GI contracts can be called off by mini-competition or other procedures in accordance with the Agreement.

The MSFA is divided into 2 Lots by estimated value of the individual GI call-off contracts.
