Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland procured delivery manager support and specialist services for its Active Travel and 20mph speed-limit programme on Scotland’s trunk road network. The work covers overseeing the 20mph team, managing delivery through Permanent Traffic Regulation Orders, developing and managing the annual Active Travel programme, monitoring operating-company performance and contract compliance, and reviewing and assuring scheme proposals. It also includes liaison with design teams, technical review, site and route visits, stakeholder and community engagement, communications about roadworks, support for ministerial and public correspondence, and commissioning additional specialist support where required. This is a public-sector transport and programme-management services requirement, involving active-travel infrastructure and traffic-regulation delivery across the trunk road network. Transport Scotland is both the buyer and the central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a restricted procedure under the Development Management, Road Safety and Active Travel Support Services Framework. AECOM was selected for the single lot, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 15 July 2026 for £211,000. The requirement supports the 2026/27 financial year. The appointed manager oversees an annual Active Travel programme budget of £4,000,000, with potential for an additional £2,000,000 for active-travel schemes; these are programme budgets rather than the awarded contract value. The 20mph work was expected to continue for up to approximately 18 months, with the key deadline for Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders stated as 31 March 2026 and active-travel budget spend targeted by the end of March 2027. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically by a non-SME supplier.

For suppliers tracking Transport Scotland’s demand, this award indicates a requirement for senior delivery and programme-management capability across trunk-road active travel and 20mph speed-limit schemes. A credible competitor would need experience managing multidisciplinary transport programmes, coordinating design and operating-company teams, assuring technical proposals, monitoring performance and contract compliance, and controlling delivery against substantial public infrastructure budgets. Practical understanding of Traffic Regulation Orders, active-travel infrastructure, roadworks impacts and road-user communications would be relevant. The work also calls for stakeholder and community engagement, collaboration with audit and government colleagues, site oversight, ministerial briefing support, and the ability to identify and manage specialist advisers. Experience operating through public-sector frameworks and delivering against Scottish Government transport priorities would strengthen a future response.
