Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council is seeking a single supplier to provide road works compliance monitoring and material testing for its roadworks. The service covers recording contractors’ road-laying and compaction activities, and testing construction materials to check they meet the required standards and specifications. The work will be delivered on North Lanarkshire Council roadworks in North Lanarkshire. This is a services requirement, classified as road-inspection services (CPV 71631480). The procurement is intended to establish a framework agreement with one supplier, allowing the council to call on specialist monitoring and testing services for its roads programme. Suppliers should therefore be able to work alongside road contractors and provide reliable evidence of compliance with technical requirements.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. Bids had to be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 12:00 BST. The framework has an estimated value of £225,000 and a contract period of 1,440 days, comprising an initial two years with two optional one-year extensions. The council will appoint one supplier. Evaluation is based on quality at 40% and price at 60%; variants are not allowed. Bids must remain valid for 90 days. The tender opening was scheduled for 28 August 2026 at 12:00 BST through Microsoft Teams, under the council’s standing orders. Electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements apply.

This opportunity suits specialist road materials testing, construction quality assurance and road-inspection businesses with experience monitoring highway works. Suppliers need to assess road-laying and compaction activity, carry out compliance testing of materials, and demonstrate that work meets specified standards. Participation requires a UKAS-accredited, or equivalent, independent third-party certificate confirming compliance with BS EN ISO 9001 or an equivalent quality management standard. It also requires equivalent certification to BS EN ISO 14001 for environmental management. The requirement will suit an organisation able to provide the service as a sole framework supplier and maintain consistent testing and reporting capacity across North Lanarkshire roadworks. Community benefits form part of the requirement, so bidders should be prepared to address the council’s stated community-benefit expectations.
