The four-year framework intends to support Scottish councils as well as other public sector organisations receive specialist engineering consultancy services and is anticipated to be valued at £40 million per annum.

Stantec has been appointed to all lots that it bid for. The lots relate to roads and structures engineering; transportation and traffic engineering, environmental engineering, drainage and flooding engineering; geo-environmental and geotechnical engineering, coastal and maritime engineering, master planning as well as project and commercial management. 

Stantec’s Edinburgh and Glasgow teams will spearhead operations within the Scotland Excel framework.

Transport and civil engineering are anticipated to remain as the key areas of Stantec’s operations, but the company will also be able to deliver services associated with placemaking, social value, regeneration, and long-term community-focused development. 

The framework also gives Stantec more access to a network of partner organisations as well as local authorities, allowing for other routes of client engagement. 

Scott Grant, director of civil engineering at Stantec, said: “Our appointment to the Scotland Excel Framework creates invaluable opportunities for us to continue creating thriving places with our extensive local insight, global expertise and technical capabilities.”

Ralston Mackenzie, Stantec’s director of sustainable transport, said: “We’re so proud to keep supporting Scotland’s public sector in addressing a wide range of challenges, from upgrading aging infrastructure and meeting sustainable travel aspirations to regenerating and connecting communities.” 
 
“Over the next four years, we’ll build on our years of success serving local communities, with a renewed commitment to make the most of our holistic offering for the benefit of people in Scotland.”
