Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is procuring roadstone and related quarry materials for its Roads Operations, which construct and maintain carriageways and footways across Fife. The requirement covers four areas: Type 1 sub-base granular materials, including Series 800 dry materials and Series 500 aggregates; single-sized and graded roadstone and concrete aggregates; coated roadstone; and ready-mix concrete. Materials will support the Council’s local transport strategy and roadworks across Fife. The procurement is for goods, including roadstone (CPV 44113140), gravel, sand, crushed stone and other aggregates, coated roadstone, and ready-mixed concrete. Suppliers able to serve sites throughout Fife are relevant, with access to a range of local sources identified as important.

The process has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, submitted electronically in English. The tender closing deadline is 12 October 2026 at 12:00 BST, with bid opening and the evaluation period starting at that time. The estimated total value is £12.8 million. It is a framework agreement for up to 12 participants, divided into four lots covering granular sub-base, graded roadstone and concrete aggregates, coated roadstone, and ready-mix concrete. Each lot has an initial 720-day contract period and may be renewed for up to a further 24 months. Award is based on 80% price and 20% quality. Variants are not allowed, bids must remain valid for 180 days, and additional purchases may be required.

This opportunity suits quarry operators, aggregate producers, roadstone manufacturers, ready-mix concrete suppliers and distributors with reliable capacity across Fife. Relevant suppliers should be able to provide materials that meet the Specification for Highway Works and applicable British and European Standards, including the specified dry, coated and concrete products. Bidders must provide a list of proposed subcontractors and should have the financial capacity to support supply and delivery at framework scale. The Council expects current ratios of at least 1 based on the last two years’ published and audited accounts; explanations and further financial checks may apply where this is not met. Suppliers must also offer community benefits, comply with performance KPIs and support electronic ordering and payment processes.
