A9 Dualling: Advance Works Framework Agreement
Authority: Transport Scotland
What is being bought3 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionTransport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland identified a requirement to appoint suitably experienced contractors to perform various ancillary works in the vicinity of the A9 between Perth and Inverness, in advance of the A9 Dualling Schemes.
It has been concluded that this requirement would be best met through a multi-supplier framework agreement over a 4 years period, whereby works of varying size, value and complexity could be individually called-off as required.
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)

How this buyer will score bids.
The evaluation criteria and weights exactly as published on the notice, grouped by family (price, quality, social value and so on).
Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.
- Price carries 80 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 8 points.
- “A9 Dualling: Advance Works Framework Agreement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
