Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the need for specialist Ground Investigation (GI) works to support the delivery of infrastructure projects.
The procurement comprised the establishment of a Multi-supplier Framework Agreement (MSFA) with a number of ground investigation contractors to carry out and report on GI works of varying scope, complexity and value in connection with trunk road and other transport infrastructure schemes promoted by the Scottish Ministers through Transport Scotland. Individual GI contracts can be called off by mini-competition or other procedures in accordance with the Agreement.
The MSFA is divided into 2 Lots by estimated value of the individual GI call-off contracts.
