Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council recently completed a public procurement process for the short-term hire of operated plant, aimed at servicing various sites within the council's jurisdiction for construction and civil engineering activities. The framework agreement, marked under CPV code 45500000, was awarded through an open procurement procedure. The awards were made effective on 10th September 2025, following the tender process that was active through the year, embodying multiple lots such as hire of frameworks for backhoe loaders, excavators, pavers, and more. This initiative, which involves a contract period from 1st October 2025 to 30th September 2029, aligned with construction works spanning highways and roads and represents a strategic investment to bolster Falkirk’s infrastructure capabilities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the civil engineering and construction sectors, especially those specialising in plant hire and associated operator services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) previously dominated the bidding landscape, reflecting a dynamic opportunity for similar sized entities to engage actively. With a collective framework value estimated at over £5 million across all lots, secured by numerous reputable suppliers, this procurement reinforces business growth vis-à-vis governmental contracts. Entities equipped with requisite ISO certifications, demonstration of past relevant works, and financial robustness stand well-placed to benefit from such infrastructure-driven tender opportunities, facilitating accelerated service delivery and client engagement within the public procurement sphere.
