Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council has recently completed the procurement process to hire industrial vehicles with drivers for winter gritter driver cover in the Helensburgh area for the 2024/25 winter period. This service falls under the services category and is necessary due to the Council's lack of internal capacity. The contract, awarded to Doherty & Lafferty Ltd, followed a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition, completed on 25th November 2024. The procurement was conducted due to technical reasons, as Doherty & Lafferty Ltd is the only known supplier capable of fulfilling the contract requirements.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the hire of industrial vehicles with drivers. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in providing reliable winter maintenance services could find such contracts particularly advantageous. Companies capable of delivering specialised services to regional or local authorities, especially in less competitive markets, may find similar future opportunities within Argyll and Bute Council and other regional authorities valuable for growth and expansion.
