## Summary

Transport Scotland, acting on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, is managing the A9 Dualling: Advance Works Framework Agreement, which encompasses construction work for highways and roads. This procurement process, classified under the works category, is currently at the Award stage. The framework agreement is structured into three lots that will facilitate various ancillary works in the vicinity of the A9 between Perth and Inverness, over a four-year period. The lots range from works valued under GBP 250,000 to those up to GBP 2,000,000, with specific exclusions for piling works in Lots 1 and 2. The contracts were signed in 2018 and 2019, with key suppliers already involved in the project.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for construction companies skilled in roadworks, earthmoving, and related ancillary services. Both large-scale firms and SMEs are encouraged to participate, especially those with a proven track record in managing sub-contractors and delivering community benefits. By engaging in mini-competitions through the framework, businesses can secure work packages tailored to varying project scales and complexities, ultimately enhancing their portfolios and contributing to the development of critical infrastructure in Scotland.

## Notice

Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland identified a requirement to appoint suitably experienced contractors to perform various ancillary works in the vicinity of the A9 between Perth and Inverness, in advance of the A9 Dualling Schemes. It has been concluded that this requirement would be best met through a multi-supplier framework agreement over a 4 years period, whereby works of varying size, value and complexity could be individually called-off as required. To accommodate the various work types, the framework will be divided into lots: Lot 1 (works up to GBP 250k excluding piling); Lot 2 (works between GBP 250k and GBP 2m excluding piling); and Lot 3 (piling works up to GBP 350k)
