Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has completed a public procurement process for the supply of specialist surface dressing chip, with the award tagged on 9th July 2025. This procurement process falls under the category of goods, specifically targeting General Public Services within the region of UKM91. The council, located at Council Headquarters, Newtown St Boswells, engaged in a limited procurement method without a call for competition, citing the availability of the technical product solely from one supplier. The contract, valued at GBP 85,000, was signed on 20th May 2025, with Collier Quarrying & Recycling chosen as the supplier. The process included roles for parties such as the buyer and review body, with Scottish Borders Council acting as the contracting authority and Jedburgh Sherriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court serving as the review body.

This procurement opportunity underscores the potential for growth within the road surfacing industry, especially for suppliers offering unique or specialist materials that may lack widespread competition. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in quarrying and recycling could benefit significantly, as demonstrated by Collier Quarrying & Recycling's successful bid. Such contracts provide a substantial avenue for business development through public sector partnerships, particularly for businesses that can offer tailored or niche products that meet specific governmental needs. The opportunity further highlights the importance of staying informed about technologies and products that align with local governmental requirements and addressing the technical specifications that may limit competition.
