The recent completion of the award stage occurred on 19th February 2026, with the contract valued at approximately £151,314 GBP. This tender aimed to advance the developed and technical design for an active travel route on the Isle of Jura as per a concept design created by Connected Transport Planning in 2024. The procurement method used was an open procedure within the services industry category, focusing on general public services. The contract was signed before 3rd March 2026, with a significant role for the principal designer in potential future construction, subject to additional funding availability. This tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those in technical design, transport planning, and construction within the infrastructure and public services sectors. SMEs like Connected Transport Planning, which won the tender, demonstrate the project's accessibility to small and medium enterprises. Businesses offering related services such as community engagement with landowners, design innovation, and technical expertise in travel infrastructure development would be well-positioned to compete in similar opportunities. With subcontracting possibilities available up to 35%, there is ample scope for partnerships and collaborative ventures to enhance service delivery on similar projects across Scotland and beyond. ## Notice This project will work with landowners and the community to agree one of the two options identified in the Concept Design (Connected Transport Planning, 2024) that has been produced for an active travel route linking Craighouse Pier and housing at Otter Brae to the Corran Sands, Isle of Jura, progress the agreed option through developed and technical design, and undertake the principal designer role for future construction (subject to funding). ### Lot Information Lot 1 This project will work with landowners and the community to agree one of the two options identified in the Concept Design (Connected Transport Planning, 2024) that has been produced for an active travel route linking Craighouse Pier and housing at Otter Brae to the Corran Sands, Isle of Jura, progress the agreed option through developed and technical design, and undertake the principal designer role for future construction (subject to funding).
