Transport Scotland, located in Glasgow, has awarded a contract titled "Professional Support for Sustainable Transport Projects" in the transport industry category. This process, currently in the awarding stage, is aimed at providing technical advice and support for sustainable transport infrastructure projects, primarily concerning bus and active travel schemes across Scotland. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, with the contract signed on 28 January 2026.

For businesses specialising in transportation consultancy and technical support in infrastructure projects, this award offers substantial growth opportunities. The contract involves assessing project applications, providing technical guidance, and evaluating infrastructure projects for value and compliance. Large enterprises with expertise in sustainable transport solutions, particularly those with engineering and transport planning capabilities, stand well-suited to fulfil such requirements.

## Notice

To provide technical advice and support for Transport Scotland's sustainable transport (primarily bus and active travel) infrastructure funding, including the Active Travel Infrastructure Fund (ATIF) and Bus Infrastructure Fund (BIF). ATIF provides capital funding directly to Local Authorities (LAs), Regional Transport Partnerships (RTPs) and National Park Authorities working in partnership with Transport Scotland to deliver active travel infrastructure schemes across Scotland. BIF provides capital funding directly to Local Authorities and RTPs, working in partnership with Bus Operators, to deliver bus infrastructure schemes across Scotland. ATIF is part of a wider transformation in the delivery of active travel in Scotland which sees the introduction of a more direct relationship between Transport Scotland and those funded via ATIF. To provide technical advice and support for the delivery of sustainable transport projects at various stages of development. This includes offering guidance on business cases and Strategic Transport Appraisal Guidance studies, feasibility, design, ensuring compliance with standards, managing risks, reviewing projects for value for money, advising on materials and placemaking aspects, promoting active travel, supporting the achievement of sustainability goals and assessing projects for future funding. The Second Strategic Transport Projects Review (STPR2) identifies a number of sustainable transport intervention recommendations for active travel, bus and integration. As such, we are seeking to facilitate the delivery of place-based sustainable transport infrastructure on a holistic, rather than mode-specific, basis to more effectively and efficiently develop and deliver sustainable transport interventions and their outcomes.
