Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

To accommodate the various work types, the framework will be divided into lots: Lot 1 (works up to GBP 250k excluding piling); Lot 2 (works between GBP 250k and GBP 2m excluding piling); and Lot 3 (piling works up to GBP 350k)
