Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence procured the supply of aggregate, including gravel, sand, crushed stone and related aggregate materials. The requirement is classified under CPV 14210000 and is for goods rather than construction works or services. Delivery is throughout the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the Ministry of Defence, based in Corsham. The procurement concerned a single aggregate supply requirement. The selected supplier, Lightwater Quarries Limited, is based in Ripon, North Yorkshire and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. This points to a requirement suitable for an aggregate producer, quarry operator, merchant or distributor able to supply construction and civil-engineering materials to Ministry of Defence requirements across the UK.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in an active contract. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, on the stated basis that the contract was low value. The requirement was evaluated on price. Three bids were recorded. Lightwater Quarries Limited was awarded the supply contract on 4 June 2026, at a value of £110,400, excluding any further financial details not stated in the procurement. The tender record shows the associated lot as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The contract was signed on 4 June 2026. No contract duration or end date is provided in the recorded outcome.

This procurement demonstrates Ministry of Defence demand for UK-wide aggregate supply through a low-value limited award route, with price as the evaluation basis. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to gravel, sand, crushed stone and other aggregates, together with the production, stockholding or distribution capacity to meet requirements across the United Kingdom. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller quarry, aggregate producer, merchant or specialist distributor can be relevant where it can provide reliable supply and competitive pricing. Businesses considering similar Ministry of Defence work should be prepared to evidence consistent material availability, delivery capability, pricing discipline and the ability to handle public-sector purchasing requirements.
