Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland has successfully completed the award stage of a public procurement process concerning the "Community Needs Assessment: Northern Isles." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting the transport sector. The project is located in the UK, specifically the Northern Isles, and follows an open procurement method to ensure broad participation. The contract, identified as TS/AMFC/SER/2021/01/06, was awarded to Stantec on 20 May 2026, with a total value of GBP 69,996.80. The procurement was part of a larger framework agreement related to Maritime Consultancy Services.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy and maritime services. The open procedure adopted encourages participation from both local and international firms, although this specific contract saw a non-EU bid submission. Companies with expertise in community needs assessments or ferry services could find similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their market presence. Given that Transport Scotland operates as a central purchasing body, successful engagement in such tenders could lead to future opportunities with other national or federal contracting authorities.
