Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Transport Scotland for the provision of Geotechnical Certification services associated with Ground Investigation works for the Aviemore to Carrbridge Non-Motorised User Route as part of the A9 Dualling project. This contract falls under the services category within the transport industry and is associated with the UKM region in the United Kingdom. The procurement used an open procedure method and is now in the 'Award' stage, with the contract being signed on 23rd April 2026. The total contract value is £126,000. Transport Scotland, located in Glasgow, acted as the central purchasing body while the contractor, Amey, a large-scale business based in London, was awarded the contract.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the geotechnical and engineering consultancy sectors, especially those specialising in transport infrastructure projects. The open procedure allows for broader competition, encouraging diverse organisations to participate. While the contract was awarded to a large business, the opportunity could appeal to small to medium-sized enterprises capable of forming consortia or partnerships to fulfil complex service demands in future tenders.
