## Summary

East Lothian Council is currently undertaking the "A1/Queen Margaret University Junction Construction Works" project, located along the A1 road between Newcraighall and Old Craighall, East Lothian. This ambitious works contract aims to enhance the existing road junction by constructing slip roads, an underpass, retaining wall, roundabout, foot and cycle paths, and SUDS ponds. The contract, valued at £10 million, follows a selective procurement method and is currently in the Award stage, having seen the works commence in August 2021, with an anticipated completion within approximately 12 months.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for construction and civil engineering firms, particularly those with expertise in road infrastructure and associated drainage works. Businesses holding relevant certifications in quality management and health and safety (ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 or equivalent) will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, those capable of demonstrating past successful projects similar in nature are encouraged to engage, particularly as the council seeks community benefits from the successful contractor, focusing on training and work experience initiatives.
