Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Ministers are currently managing a modification to the Transport Scotland Communication Support Services Contract, which has been extended by four months to 31 October 2022. This extension ensures the continuity of communication support services critical to several ongoing workstreams while Transport Scotland concludes the live procurement for these services. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically the support services for road transport, with the delivery location centred in Glasgow, UK. The initiative is at the award stage, with activities such as contract management actively taking place.

This modification presents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in communication support services to engage with Transport Scotland. Companies that offer expertise in providing essential communication solutions for transportation-related projects will find this tender particularly relevant. As the procurement supports ongoing high-profile projects, it is ideally suited for medium to large service providers keen to establish or reinforce relationships within the public sector, ensuring their capability to deliver on critical communication needs for the government.
