## Summary

North Ayrshire Council has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "B714 Final Business Case (FBC)" in the General Public Services category. This contract, focusing on the upgrade of the B714 road between Dalry and the Sharphill Roundabout, was awarded to SYSTRA LIMITED as part of a direct award from the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework (08-20) Lot 2 (Transportation and Traffic). The contract is valued at £97,430.00 and was signed on 18th September 2024. The procurement method used was "limited," with no prior publication of a call for competition, and the process is now in the award and contract stage.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the engineering and technical consultancy sectors. The direct award approach underscores the importance of having a pre-existing framework agreement to secure such contracts. Businesses specialising in regional transportation, traffic systems, and public infrastructure consultancy would find this type of contract well-suited to their expertise. The project not only enhances the regional transport network but also potentially paves the way for future collaborative opportunities with local government bodies like North Ayrshire Council.
