Transport Scotland undertook a public procurement competition for the provision of Archaeology Services, which are required on Transport Scotland projects. The services comprise of Invasive Archaeology Services, Non-Invasive Archaeology Services and Advisory Services.

Over the forthcoming years, there a number of projects which shall require such archaeological services. These include, but are not limited to:

- Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP)

Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows:

- Lot 1, 5M GBP

- Lot 2, 0.25M GBP

- Lot 3, 21M GBP

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