Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland is planning the procurement for the "A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy" project, which involves the design, construction, completion, and maintenance of approximately 9.6 km of dual carriageway in the north of Scotland. This project aims to enhance journey time reliability and safety along this key transport route. The anticipated contract value ranges from £115 million to £125 million, with a communication notice expected by 28th May 2021, and an Industry Information Day aimed at potential contractors scheduled for April 2021.

Notice Title

A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy

Notice Description

Design, construction, completion and maintenance of the proposed A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project which includes the upgrade of approximately 9.6km of existing A9 single and overtaking wide single 2+1 (WS2+1) road carriageway to dual carriageway standard, between the existing dual carriageway sections to the south of Tomatin and to the north of Moy. It is intended that the dual carriageway cross section shall be a Dual 2 Lane All Purpose (D2AP) Trunk Road as described in 'CD 127 Cross-sections and headrooms' within the UK Design Manual for Roads and Bridges. The key aim of the A9 Dualling: Tomatin to Moy project is to improve journey time reliability and safety for motorised and non-motorised users by improving the operational performance and level of service of this section of the A9. Works will include, but not be limited to; widening of the existing A9 to dual carriageway, construction of approximately 3.3km of single lane local link road with passing places, drainage (including sustainable drainage systems), one grade-separated junction, four left-in left-out (LILO) junctions, upgrade of approx. 42 culverts, traffic management, earthworks, road restraint systems, accommodation works, service diversions, fencing, signage, landscaping and environmental mitigation. The works will incorporate a new bridge (Dalmagarry Bridge) to carry the new dual carriageway over the realignment of an approximately 670m long section of Dalmagarry Burn. This will replace an existing structure at this location. In addition, the works will include new bridge structures at the intersections of the new A9 and local roads at Tomatin and Lynebeg as well as a new Moy Rail Bridge over the Highland Main Line Railway (HML). The existing Moy Rail Bridge, which currently carries the A9 single carriageway over the HML, is to be demolished once the new structure and the associated section of dual carriageway is opened to traffic.
