## Summary

The procurement process for the A90/A96 Haudagain Improvement project is led by Transport Scotland, based in Glasgow, UK. The tender, classified under the works category with a focus on transport, has been completed as of December 20, 2018. The procurement was initiated as a 'limited' method, which does not require prior publication of a call for competition, largely due to the technical complexities of the project and the insufficient number of suitable candidates. The total contract value is approximately £17.64 million, and the intended supplier is Farrans Construction, a large construction firm located in Belfast.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in civil engineering and construction, particularly those specialising in transport infrastructure. Companies with expertise in roadworks, drainage, landscaping, and maintenance could find this project particularly relevant. The complexities involved in the design and construction may favour businesses with substantial experience in similar projects, enabling them to compete effectively in future public procurement tenders within the transport sector.

### Procurement Information

There is an insufficient number of candidates meeting the selection criteria and the minimum levels of ability to enable genuine competition. Despite Twenty Economic Operator's noting interest following the publication of a Contract Notice in the OJEU and Public Contracts Scotland portal on 23rd June 2017, competition is absent due to the technical complexities required by the scheme.
