Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council has finalised a public procurement process for the "Road Haulage Services Framework Agreement 2023" within the transport services industry category. This framework agreement, completed on 22 October 2024, involves hauliers assisting the council by transporting salt from various harbours to council depots throughout the Highland area. The agreement covers multiple specific lots including Badenoch and Strathspey, Caithness, Easter Ross, Inverness, Lochaber, Ross & Cromarty, Skye & Lochalsh, and Sutherland areas. This procurement, conducted via an open procedure, ensures the availability of hauliers to complement the council's fleet, and the contract period started on 6 December 2023 with a potential extension of up to 12 months.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector. Particularly, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in road transport and public road transport services are well-positioned to benefit from this framework. The inclusion of community benefits such as fair work practices, equalities, environmental measures, prompt payment in the supply chain, and workforce development ensures that participating companies can not only secure profitable contracts but also contribute to broader social and economic goals. Suppliers are required to demonstrate a good track record with public liability insurance and at least two relevant examples of similar services provided in the last three years, making this an excellent opportunity for established and reliable transport businesses to expand their operations in the Highland region.
