Exhibiting at Road Expo Scotland
The room where Scotland's roads sector makes decisions. Be in it.
For Tier 1 contractors, Road Expo Scotland is not just an exhibition. It is where supply chains are built, client relationships are deepened and the people who will deliver Scotland's biggest infrastructure projects come together in one place.
The pipeline
Scotland has a decade of major work ahead
The A9 Dualling programme is a £3.7 billion commitment running to 2035. Trunk road maintenance contracts covering all four geographical units of Scotland's network run for a minimum of eight years, and the next generation of operating company contracts will again be worth hundreds of millions each. That is before you factor in bridge maintenance, active travel infrastructure and the net zero investment agenda.
"Transport Scotland has more than 250 contracts in place at any one time — ranging from large-scale trunk road maintenance to goods and services needed to deliver Scotland's network."
For Tier 1 contractors already delivering in Scotland, and for those looking to enter or grow in this market, understanding the pipeline is the first step. Positioning your business in front of the right people is the second.
Why exhibit
Six reasons Tier 1 contractors choose Road Expo Scotland
Meet your public sector clients face to face
Transport Scotland, local authority roads officers and SCOTS representatives attend every year. Road Expo Scotland is one of the few events where Tier 1 contractors and their public sector commissioners share the same floor.
Build and strengthen your supply chain
Over 100 specialist exhibitors attend, covering everything from materials and plant to technology, surveying and environmental services. Road Expo Scotland is the most efficient place to review, shortlist and meet potential supply chain partners in a single visit.
Demonstrate your Scottish credentials
Procurement in Scotland places real weight on local engagement, community benefit and supply chain development. Exhibiting at Scotland's dedicated roads event signals that your business is committed to this market — not just bidding into it from afar.
Stay ahead of policy and programme changes
The conference brings together the Scottish Government, Transport Scotland and local authorities to discuss strategy, major projects and emerging priorities. For contractors, this intelligence is genuinely valuable — and you get it a year before the tender goes out.
Attract the talent you need to deliver
Scotland's roads sector has a well-documented skills shortage. Road Expo Scotland draws engineers, technicians, project managers and graduates from across the sector. It is a natural place to raise your profile as an employer and talk to the people your projects depend on.
Be visible when it matters
With over 2,000 attendees, Road Expo Scotland is the largest gathering of roads and transport professionals in Scotland. Tier 1 contractors who exhibit are visible to the full breadth of the sector — clients, partners, competitors and future employees alike.
