Summary of the contracting process

East Lothian Council, a regional authority in Scotland, has awarded a contract for general timber materials under the Scotland Excel's Construction Materials Framework Sub Lot 2.1. This procurement, classified under the timber products category, is located in the UKM73 region and was initiated through a limited award procedure without prior publication. The contract, valued at £225,000, was signed on 17 November 2025 and is active, highlighting the Council's commitment to achieving sustainability and best value by requiring community benefits. MGM TIMBER (SCOTLAND) LIMITED has been selected as the supplier, taking over the responsibilities to deliver these materials.

This procurement opens avenues for businesses specializing in the supply of timber materials, offering growth potential by partnering with regional authorities for substantial contracts under established frameworks. While this instance favoured a direct award to a large supplier, it demonstrates the Council’s interest in engaging suppliers that can provide economic, social, and environmental benefits. Enterprises with expertise in sustainable timber production and regional supply chains would find similar opportunities advantageous, especially those looking to align with public sector frameworks and contribute to community-focused projects.
