Summary of the contracting process

As part of the planning phase, a Request for Information (RFI) is open until 21st July 2026, allowing interested parties to contribute to the development of the procurement strategy.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities for consultancy firms in the construction and property sectors.

Opportunities span various consultancy scopes, including design, engineering, and safety services, making this tender attractive to firms specialising in these disciplines and looking to support large-scale infrastructure projects across Scotland. Potential participants can influence the final procurement structure by engaging with the market engagement process through the RFI.
