Transport Scotland has identified the requirement to appoint a main contractor to undertake the external painting of the Erskine Bridge. These works are due to commence in spring 2019, for a period of approximately 4 years. The phasing is described below. The main contractor will be procured through a competitive tender procedure, in accordance with the restricted procedure as stated in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Economic operators shall be evaluated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, on the basis of information they have provided within the ESPD. It is the intention that the project will operate a mandatory Project Bank Account (PBA), a project specific account ring fenced with effective Trust status, for payment of the contractor and his supply chain. The account shall be opened by the Scottish Ministers with The Royal Bank of Scotland under the banking services framework defined at http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Government/Procurement/directory/pscontractcentgovt/BankingServices It is intended that the PBA shall satisfy the minimum requirements for an effectively constituted Trust under Scots law. The use of a PBA by a contractor shall be a contractual requirement. Any sub-contractors for which it is agreed shall not be paid through the PBA shall be entitled to payment according to the prompt payment provisions provided within the contract.
