Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified an on-going need for the services of experienced consultants to carry out services in connection with Transport and Island Connectivity Planning, Appraisal, Data and Modelling Services.

Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to progress a procurement competition for a Multi-Supplier Framework Agreement.

The Framework Agreement, to cover 3 years with a 1-year extension option, will be available for use by Regional Transport Partnerships and other Scottish Government Directorates.

The framework will consist of a number of Lots. The following list may expand or be consolidated following market engagement:

- Lot 1 is for Transport Modelling and Data services relating to Transport Planning;

- Lot 2 is for Advice on the Case for Transport Investment;

- Lot 3 is for Island Connectivity Advisory and Support

- Lot 4 is for Transport Planning Advisory and Support

It is proposed that each Lot will comprise a minimum of 3 suppliers and a maximum of 5 suppliers.

It is proposed that Call-off contracts less than 100 000 GBP may be called off on rotation. Any call-off contract may, and all call-off contracts greater than 100 000 GBP will, be awarded through a mini-competition.
