Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland bought legal services relating to Erskine Bridge, with the work focused on the bridge and its legal requirements. This is a professional legal-services contract, classified under CPV 79100000. The requirement is specific to Erskine Bridge rather than a general legal-services commission. Transport Scotland is the buying organisation, and the delivery location is Erskine Bridge in Scotland. The procurement was arranged as a call-off from the Public Sector Legal Services framework, so the work sat within an established public-sector legal services purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Transport Scotland used an open procedure through the Public Sector Legal Services framework. Addleshaw Goddard was selected for the single lot, covering legal services for Erskine Bridge. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026 and is valued at £80,000. The available award information does not state a separate award decision date or contract-period dates. One bid was recorded for the lot, submitted electronically; it was from a non-EU bidder and was not an SME. No detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement information, so the basis for comparing bids cannot be described beyond the open procedure and framework route.

This award demonstrates demand from Transport Scotland for specialist legal support tied to the operation and requirements of Erskine Bridge. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show relevant legal expertise and the capacity to advise on bridge-related matters for a public transport authority. The buyer used the Public Sector Legal Services framework and an open procedure for this purchase, so suppliers would need to be able to compete through that established framework route. The single recorded bid came from a large law firm, indicating that a substantial legal services provider secured the work; the information does not identify particular accreditations, specialist practice areas or experience thresholds that can be treated as formal requirements.
