Summary of the contracting process

Farrans Construction, operating as a central purchasing body and buyer, is launching a public procurement process focusing on a significant infrastructure project in Paisley. The procurement, currently in the planning stage, includes the construction of a 93-metre span steel arch bridge, upgrading 1.7km of existing roads, and creating 550m of new roads under the AMIDS project for Renfrewshire Council. A 'Meet the Buyer' event is planned to take place on 24th September 2025, from 9am to 12pm at The Glynhill Hotel, Renfrew, aiming to engage local suppliers and inform them about the potential contract opportunities. The project's estimated value is £35,000,000, and it falls under the 'goods' category of procurement, with a future notice anticipated on 15th October 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth, especially for businesses in the construction and service sectors, including suppliers of CCTV cameras, temporary power, archaeological surveys, and more. Furthermore, micro-enterprises, SMEs, and social enterprises are particularly encouraged to participate, providing services like cleaning, fencing, and advanced surveying techniques. As the project unfolds, businesses dealing with concrete, aggregates, and surfacing materials, among others, will find new opportunities. Companies seeking to expand their footprint and collaborate on significant infrastructure initiatives in the UK, particularly those with innovative solutions, stand to benefit considerably from engaging in this tendering process.
