This includes the provision of advice in relation to claims management processes, the provision of claims consultancy service, and the provision of support in managing loss adjustors with the skills, experience and capability to investigate, negotiate and settle claims. It is envisaged that the services can be provided remotely at the organisations offices with attendance required on an ad-hoc basis at Transport Scotland's offices. However, on occasion, the provider may be required to undertake the following duties: i. attend the offices, construction sites or other locations within the UK as and when required; ii. attend meetings at Transport Scotland's main office in Buchanan House, Glasgow or site offices as and when may be required; iii. liaison with other Transport Scotland advisers/ consultants/ contractors.
