Transport Scotland has successfully completed the award stage of a public procurement process concerning the "Community Needs Assessment: Northern Isles." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting the transport sector. The project is located in the UK, specifically the Northern Isles, and follows an open procurement method to ensure broad participation. The contract, identified as TS/AMFC/SER/2021/01/06, was awarded to Stantec on 20 May 2026, with a total value of GBP 69,996.80.
