Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council is seeking a single supplier for a framework agreement covering the supply, delivery, installation, removal and re-siting of bus shelters across the Falkirk Council area. The requirement includes shelters and associated parts, construction and assembly, installation of street and road furniture, and related repair, maintenance and transport support. Shelters may be needed in urban, rural, town-centre and conservation-area locations, so suppliers must provide solutions suitable for varied environments. The work is classified principally as bus shelter supply, with associated construction and installation services. The buying organisation is Falkirk Council, and delivery and on-site activity will take place throughout the Falkirk area.

The process has reached tender: Falkirk Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission required. It is a single-lot framework with one participant. The tender submission deadline was 16 October 2026 at 11:00 BST, when bids were also scheduled to be opened in Falkirk; the award period starts at that time. The framework is planned to run from 11 November 2026 to 31 March 2030, with no renewal or additional-purchase option. Its estimated value is £1,250,000. Evaluation is based on price at 70%, method statement and risk assessment at 15%, timescales at 5%, sustainability at 5% and Fair Work First at 5%. Bids must remain valid for 180 days, and variants are not permitted.

This opportunity suits a supplier able to manage the complete bus-shelter lifecycle: manufacturing or sourcing shelters and parts, delivering them, installing new structures, removing existing shelters and re-siting them safely. Relevant capability includes construction and assembly of prefabricated or metal structures, installation of street and road furniture, transport logistics, and associated repair and maintenance. The supplier should be able to work across urban, rural, town-centre and conservation-area settings and adapt products to their surroundings. Bidders must hold valid Companies House registration, or demonstrate to the Council’s satisfaction that they trade from the stated address under the stated company name. The tender requires staff names and qualifications, and includes community-benefit commitments, sustainability and Fair Work First considerations.
