Scottish Road Works Register (Prescribed Fees and Miscellaneous Amendment) Regulations 2027

Overview

As in previous years, we intend to create a new Scottish Statutory Instrument accounting for the target cost of operating the Scottish Road Works Register in the 2027-28 financial year.

The intention is to revoke The Scottish Road Works Register (Prescribed Fees) Regulations 2026 and replace it with a new Instrument for 2027.

In addition, the new Instrument is seeking to include an update to The Road Works (Qualifications of Operatives and Supervisors) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 and The Road Works (Reinstatement Quality Plans, Qualifications of Supervisors and Operatives and Miscellaneous Amendments) (Scotland) Regulations 2023, as the awarding body EUIAS, has changed their name to Energy and Environment Awards.

This consultation seeks your views on making these changes.

Consultation questions preview

The consultation questions are included here for your reference. Please click 'Begin consultation' at the bottom of this page to proceed.

Question 1: Should the overhead figure for the Scottish Road Works Register be updated to £1,198,214 for 2027, with the Fees and Amounts continuing to be split as detailed in The Scottish Road Works Register (Prescribed Fees) Regulations 2026?

Question 2: Is there anything else you wish to raise in relation to road works?

Question 3: Do you have any comment to make on EUIAS becoming Energy and Environment Awards, on the basis that the governance, structure and post holders will remain the same, but the name change legally constitutes commencing a new company (16103891)?
