## Summary

The North East Scotland Regional Transport Partnership (Nestrans) has awarded a contract for a feasibility study to assess the technical and economical viability of transitioning segments of the HGV fleet in the North East of Scotland to Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) and the associated infrastructure requirements. The study is crucial for evaluating BEV HGVs' role in regional transport, with the awarded contract signed on 7 April 2025. The procurement pertains to the services category within the transport and transportation industry, and it involved an open procedure. The tender process began on 20 January 2025 and concluded on 14 February 2025, with the contract period initially set from 3 March 2025 to 30 June 2025.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport consultancy, particularly those with expertise in freight and energy-related transport projects. Companies proficient in engineering studies, project management, and infrastructure development are well-suited to partake in similar opportunities. The contract awarded to SYSTRA Ltd highlights that large consultancy firms with a track record in delivering complex technical and economic studies are competitive in this market.
