This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council recently awarded a contract as part of the "Application of Road Markings Framework 2025-2026" project, focusing on the works of road markings within the Argyll and Bute region, UKM6. This open procedure procurement process was completed with a contract value of £150,000, signed on 13th August 2025. The project is designed under a framework agreement, allowing multiple contractors to participate. The procurement fits within the general public services industry category, with the agreement covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). This contract represents the award stage, following the tender process that began earlier in the year, with submissions collected electronically up to 1st July 2025.

The "Application of Road Markings Framework" offers substantial opportunities for growth, primarily for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the construction and road maintenance sectors. Awarded suppliers like WJ Scotland, Markon Limited, and Central Traffic Management Ltd, all SMEs, indicate the suitability of this framework for similar-sized companies seeking roles in public sector works. With the potential for participating in sequential projects under the framework and the likelihood of renewals aligned with the project's end date, businesses can secure long-term contracting opportunities. Specifically, firms adept in roadworks, traffic management, or related construction fields are well-positioned to benefit from such frameworks.
