Summary of the contracting process

Southampton City Council is conducting an active procurement process for a Landscapes Aggregates Framework, under the title "SCC-SMS-0221". This framework aims to facilitate the purchase of various aggregates, covering industry categories such as gravel, sand, crushed stone, and building materials. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with key dates including the tender submission deadline on 27th October 2025, and the award decision expected by 27th November 2025. The procedure is open and will ensure competition through a framework agreement method with reopening competition and a structured call-off system. The procurement value is set at £450,000 GBP, with the project anticipated to cover locations across the United Kingdom.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of building and landscaping materials. With the inclusion of multiple lots focusing on different material categories, such as base materials, soils, and recycled products, SMEs are particularly encouraged to participate, given their suitability statement for smaller businesses. The tender involves an evaluation focused on both price (70%) and quality (30%), ensuring that competitive bids meeting the framework criteria can secure contracts. Companies offering products related to aggregates, concrete, or shingle will find this framework beneficial to expand within the public sector infrastructure and development projects.

Should the highest scoring bidder be unable to accept the call-off it will be offered to the next highest scoring bidder, and if necessary the subsequent next highest scoring bidder, etc. unless the requirement exceeds 15K then we will run a mini competition as stated below.
