## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council, located in Lerwick, Shetland, is undertaking the procurement process for the improvement of the B9082 Gutcher to Cullivoe Road in Yell, Shetland. This project, classified under the works category, involves the construction of a new 6.3-metre-wide, 4.5km long, two-lane single carriageway, including associated drainage infrastructure and significant peat restoration. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the initial tender notice was published on 22nd November 2024. The submission deadline was initially set for 10th January 2025 but was later extended to 17th January 2025. The procurement stage is currently at the award stage, with the related contract being deemed unsuccessful and the status of the project being listed as cancelled as of 21st February 2025.

This tender presents a noteworthy opportunity for businesses specialising in construction, particularly those with experience in roadworks and infrastructure projects in remote locations. The requirement for detailed infrastructure works and peat restoration opens the door for specialised firms with unique expertise in these areas. Companies that can meet the Shetland Islands Council's rigorous financial and technical criteria, including demonstrating a robust turnover, adequate insurance, and a track record of similar work, will find this an exciting prospect to expand their portfolio in the Scottish public sector. This project also includes community benefits which can enhance the social value dimension of the business's operations within the Shetland Islands.
