## Summary

Transport Scotland is seeking to establish a Framework Agreement for Development Management and Road Safety Services, with a total estimated value of £6 million. The procurement is currently at the Planning stage, with the tender period ending on 9 August 2018.

The services are primarily for the transport industry and will be delivered mainly in Glasgow and Edinburgh, as specified in the contract. The procurement method employed is selective or restricted procedure, which entails inviting selected suppliers to tender.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in transport planning, road safety analysis, and development management. Businesses with expertise in providing quality assurance, technical advice, and project management services in relation to planning applications are well-suited to compete for this contract. The framework allows for multiple suppliers to be appointed, with the potential for ongoing work over several years, making it an attractive prospect for both large and medium-sized enterprises in the sector.

The framework will provide audit and advisory support to Transport Scotland on all aspects of the development management processes and offer more specific support to address road safety objectives as set out in the Scottish Government's Road Safety Framework and Strategic Road Safety Plan. This new framework will promote a safe systems approach, by integrating development management and road safety services and by providing specific advice and support for road safety policy and delivery.
