Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Setter to Veester Hill, Sandwick, Shetland - Active Travel Path," under the industry category of works. This initiative aims to construct a 2.5m-wide active travel path along the main road into Sandwick, Shetland. The location for the construction is specified as Sandwick in the Shetland Islands. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the tender being initially active until 15 January 2026, and the contract subsequently awarded on 21 January 2026. The contract, valued at £443,382.30, was awarded to C W Johnson Plant Ltd, marking the completion of the procurement stage.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction or infrastructure sectors, to engage in significant works projects commissioned by local authorities. Companies that can demonstrate extensive experience in similar works, particularly in remote or rural settings, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. SMEs like C W Johnson Plant Ltd have successfully capitalised on this opportunity, suggesting that smaller, adaptable firms with robust technical capabilities can benefit from such contracts. The procurement’s open procedure and electronic submission method make it accessible to a wide range of potential suppliers, thus encouraging diverse participation and fostering business growth within the region.
