Summary of the contracting process

Transport Scotland procured advance tree felling and vegetation clearance for the A9 Dualling project between Pitlochry and Killiecrankie. The work covered areas beside the existing A9 carriageway and the Highland Main Line railway, as well as other areas needed to enable construction. The delivery location was Faskally Forest. This is a specialist works requirement combining vegetation clearance with preparation of land for a major road-dualling project. The requirement was managed by Transport Scotland, the Scottish transport authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Geo-Rope LTD. The contract is active and was signed on 8 October 2026, at a value of £1,028,348.37. The competition used an open procedure and involved a framework agreement. It was arranged as one lot covering the tree felling and vegetation clearance. Three bids were received, including two from small and medium-sized enterprises; all bids were electronic. The contract records subcontracting as involved. The published process gives no award decision date or contract duration, so the signed date is the available contract milestone.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Transport Scotland, this award shows demand for advance tree felling and vegetation clearance that supports major road construction. Credible competitors would need to deliver clearance in areas next to both a live road corridor and a railway, while also working across other project areas as required. Experience coordinating vegetation work with infrastructure construction would be commercially relevant to this type of requirement. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, and subcontracting was involved, indicating that delivery need not be limited to a single large contractor. Three suppliers competed, including two SMEs, so the requirement attracted competition from smaller businesses as well as others.
