The Scottish Ministers acting through Transport Scotland have identified a continuing need for ground investigation works to support the development and delivery of trunk road and other transport infrastructure schemes throughout Scotland.

The MFA is divided into 2 Lots by estimated value of the individual ground investigation call-off contracts.
