OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Winter Gritter Driver Cover 2024/25" contract, focusing on the general public services industry, specifically within the Helensburgh area. The procurement was carried out through a limited method, justified by the absence of competition for technical reasons. The key stage is at the Award phase, with Doherty & Lafferty Ltd being the appointed supplier with a contract value of £54,000. The contract was signed on 25th November 2024, and the scope of services will be operational throughout the winter period, bolstering the local council's capacity to manage winter road cover.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in public service provisions, particularly those offering niche operational support where the competition might be limited. Companies experienced in the logistics and transport sectors, as well as SMEs capable of responding to regional authority needs, would be well-positioned to target similar future contracts. The procurement highlights the council's reliance on specialised external contractors, suggesting potential for ongoing or future engagements in the same or related fields.
