Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland is seeking commercial and financial advisory services for the A9 Dualling Programme, which aims to upgrade approximately 80 miles of the A9 between Perth and Inverness to dual carriageway. The procurement process is currently in the 'Award' stage following a selective tendering method, specifically a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £7.8 million, was signed on 12 February 2020. All submissions for this tender were to be concluded by 18 July 2019, with specific emphasis on obtaining guidance on procurement strategies, governance, and financial modelling throughout the project.

This procurement opportunity represents significant potential for firms specialising in commercial and financial consultancy, particularly those with experience in large-scale transport infrastructure programmes. Businesses with expertise in developing procurement documentation, financial analysis, and providing advisory services on complex transport projects would be well-positioned to compete. The contract's long duration of approximately 96 months also hints at ongoing opportunities for sustained engagement and collaboration with Transport Scotland and associated stakeholders.
