## Summary

Transport Scotland is currently engaged in the award stage of the Transport Scotland Communication Support Services Contract - Modification, initially signed on 5th October 2016. This modification aims to extend the contract duration by a further nine months, ensuring continuous communication support services until 31st March 2022. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically relating to communication support, and the contract, valued at £6,500,000, addresses delivery needs across the UKM region.
