NW – Scotland TranServ
Scotland TranServ entered some records into the RMMS, but PAG’s analysis indicated a complete set of records has not been entered. Progress on resolving this will be monitored by PAG.
SW - Amey
Amey also entered some records into the RMMS, but PAG’s analysis indicated a complete set of records has not been entered. Again, progress on resolving this will be monitored by PAG.
5.3 Reports by the OCs
Weekly reports
The OCs are required to issue weekly reports to Transport Scotland and PAG. These give details on technical performance and associated management issues. The weekly report must be submitted no later than noon on Thursday every week.
All OCs performed well in meeting the required timescales with the exception of SE, where sections of the weekly reports were often late, incomplete or not received. Transport Scotland and PAG will work with SE to seek improvement.
Monthly Reports
The monthly reports allow the OCs to demonstrate progress of operations against programme. The reports also highlight which operations are programmed for the current month and following two months.
In addition, the monthly report also provides an update on the status of issues identified for discussion at the monthly progress meeting between Transport Scotland, PAG and the OC.
NE, NW and SW generally performed well in delivering monthly reports on time. In SE, however, sections of the monthly reports were often late, incomplete or missing. Again Transport Scotland and PAG will work with SE to seek significant improvement.
Annual Report
Each OC is required to produce an annual report describing the overall performance during the previous Annual Period. This report should be sent to Transport Scotland no later than midday on 15 May following the end of the Annual Period.
These reports were successfully delivered by the OCs.
Figure 50 shows the performance of all OCs in submitting the weekly, monthly and annual reports on time.
Automated Diary Facility (ADF)
The ADF contains roadworks information which is communicated to road users and the media via Traffic Scotland’s web site and the variable message sign network. The OCs are required to constantly update the ADF.
PAG monitors the accuracy of the data held in the ADF, and issues ORIs where discrepancies are found. See figure 51 for details of ORIs issued.

The performance of each OC was broadly similar, with almost all ADF entries being correct.
