Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-26870 by Fiona Hyslop on 25 April 2024, whether it will detail the value of each of the contracts listed.
Answer
The value of consultant contracts held by Transport Scotland relating to the Ardrossan Harbour Re-development Projects since 2016 are provided below:
- MacWilliams Consulting – Gateway Review, £8,491.60
- Turner and Townsend – 2023 Cost Estimate Review, £60,800.40
Work by Morton Fraser MacRoberts (previously MacRoberts Solicitors) on the Commercial and Legal agreements is still ongoing. From financial year 2019-2020 to 2023-2024 our records indicate that payments of £202,353.60 have been made.
All costs are inclusive of VAT.
Transport Scotland are currently reviewing their financial system for costs associated with the 2016-2017 STAG report undertaken by Peter Brett Associates and I will provide an update to the member separately on this item when the review is complete.
