BEAR Scotland wins bid for NW trunk roads

BEAR Scotland will continue to manage and maintain trunk roads across the northwest of Scotland after being named the preferred bidder of Transport Scotland’s new network management contract. This means BEAR Scotland retains responsibility for over 1,422km of trunk roads across the northwest of Scotland until at least 2030, with the option of a potential four-year extension. The company has been responsible for the northwest trunk roads since 2013.

Iain Murray, managing director of BEAR Scotland, said: ‘Retaining responsibility for the northwest trunk road network demonstrates the ongoing strength and value of the services we provide. It is a testament to the quality of work delivered by our teams and shows we can step up to the enhanced requirements of the new contract. We look forward to continuing to work in partnership with Transport Scotland.’
