Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council sought suppliers for roadstone and related quarry materials supporting its Roads Operations, which construct and maintain carriageways and footways across Fife. The requirement covered four areas: Type 1 sub-base granular, single-sized graded roadstone and concrete aggregates, coated roadstone, and ready-mix concrete. Dry materials and aggregates were required to comply with the Specification for Highway Works and relevant British and European Standards. Delivery and collection activity was to support works throughout Fife. The procurement was for goods and included a framework arrangement, with access to a range of suppliers across Fife considered important to the council’s local transport and highways work.

The procurement used an open procedure for a framework agreement with up to 12 participants. The estimated total value was £12,800,000. Bids were due by 31 March 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening scheduled for 12:30 the same day; bids had to remain valid for 180 days. Each lot had an intended 720-day contract period, with renewal of up to 24 months. Evaluation was based on price at 80% and quality at 20%, with economic and technical selection requirements. The process was cancelled and all four lots were unsuccessful, with each award recorded as discontinued: Type 1 sub-base granular, graded roadstone and concrete aggregates, coated roadstone, and ready-mix concrete. No supplier was appointed.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Fife Council for suppliers able to produce, stock, deliver and collect highway aggregates and concrete materials across Fife. Relevant businesses would need dependable access to quarry products, haulage and delivery capacity, and the ability to supply both dry and coated materials as well as ready-mix concrete. Credibility would depend on demonstrating that Type 1 sub-base, aggregates and roadstone meet the Specification for Highway Works and applicable British and European Standards. Suppliers should also be prepared to support electronic ordering, electronic payment and invoicing arrangements, identify proposed subcontractors, and provide economic and technical evidence through the Scottish procurement system. The council also expected community benefits and subcontracting commitments as part of delivery.
