This procurement is at the tender stage, with submissions due by 26 November 2021. The project, part of a broader initiative funded by Transport Scotland, encompasses 20 bus priority corridors and necessitates consultancy expertise for Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) appraisals. The service is expected to benefit communities within the council areas of Angus, Dundee City, Perth & Kinross, and North East Fife, and has an estimated value of £496,800. A separate project management lot valued at £90,000 is also open for bid submission. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy, project management, and local government services. Companies with experience in conducting strategic transport assessments or those with a strong background in public sector project delivery will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms that can demonstrate an understanding of community engagement and local transport needs are likely to find themselves at an advantage in this procurement process, contributing to the enhancement of public transport infrastructure in the region. ## Notice Following on from a successful bid to Transport Scotland's Bus Partnership fund the Tayside Bus Alliance requests the consultants to undertake full Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) appraisals for 20 bus priority corridors in the Tayside Bus Alliance area.
