Transport Scotland has identified the requirement to appoint a suitably experienced economic operator to conduct advanced archaeological works for the A9 Dualling - Luncarty to Pass of Birnam scheme. It is intended that the contract will be in place for a period of 26 months. Transport Scotland managed the procurement process for the advanced archaeological works contract (the "Contract") on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. The contract has been entered into between the Scottish Ministers and the successful tenderer (the "Contractor"). The contract terms and conditions are based on ICC Infrastructure Conditions of Contract for Archaeological Investigation (2011). Each selected economic operator was invited to submit a Tender on the same contract terms. The economic operator was procured through a competitive tender procedure, in accordance with the restricted procedure as stated in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Due to the specialist archaeological expertise required for this project, it is to be performed by a single contractor and as such was not divided into lots.

Economic operators were evaluated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, on the basis of information they provided within their ESPD.
