Carillion, Morrison, and a joint venture between Irish firm Roadbridge and Sisk are all in the running as well as a joint venture between Balfour Beatty, Morgan Est and Vinci Construction’s Grands Projects division. A Transport Scotland spokesperson said: ‘We are currently undertaking final preparations to the tender documentation for the Branch Line Phase 1 contract. We anticipate the launch of this tender to be in June 2009’
The rail link is set to be completed and operational in early 2013 in time for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.
