Summary of the contracting process

Scotland Excel, a central purchasing body based in Paisley, United Kingdom, has engaged in a procurement process under the "Supply and Delivery of Bitumen and Associated Products" framework agreement. This initiative is aimed at providing councils and associated entities throughout Scotland with access to bitumen products such as bulk bitumen, reinstatement products, surface dressings, mortars, and cementitious products. The procurement, categorised under the industry of "Bitumen and asphalt," employs the open procedure method. Initially announced with a total framework value of £60 million, the process culminated on 19th May 2025 with the award of contracts to various suppliers. The framework covers multiple locations within Scotland and is completed in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

The framework agreement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for suppliers dealing in construction materials and road maintenance. Companies proficient in delivering high-quality bitumen and asphalt products are particularly well-positioned to benefit. The successful suppliers include a mix of large firms and SMEs such as Colas Limited, Instarmac Group Plc, and Red Stag Materials Limited, which underscores the broad appeal and competitive nature of the contracts. Participation in such a framework not only offers direct sales possibilities but also enhances a supplier’s profile in the UK public sector market, potentially opening doors to further opportunities across similar frameworks and contracts. The mechanism ensures diversity in suppliers and encourages innovative solutions, allowing enterprises with robust logistics and supply chain capabilities to compete effectively.
