Lot Information

Lot 1

This study will look to investigate existing freight movements, the barriers faced by multimodal freight terminals when trying to target and encourage customers to make the switch and evaluate the potential environmental benefits and commercial viability of sustainable freight/goods movements. Understanding local, regional and national trends in freight flows, distribution channels, last mile logistics, and details of existing rail freight flows, routes and capacity in/out of Scotland and the Forth Estuary region, will assist in establishing future growth potential and building the investment case for rail freight enhancements in this region. The study shall assess current rail freight services and examine opportunities for maximising and improving existing infrastructure at port locations, capacity and the balance of freight / passenger movements. The aim would be to appraise the development of sustainable freight gateways and potential for freight consolidation centres at key locations to maximise the sustainable movement of freight in door-to-door transport chains, with a focus on investigating the increase of rail as a key mode during these movements.. Tenders should note that the contract may be terminated at the completion of any stage subject to a review by Transport Scotland based on the terms set out in the Local Rail Development Fund award.
