Summary of the contracting process

South Lanarkshire Council is procuring highway works covering the supply and application of anti-skid road surfacing, thermoplastic road markings, road studs and cats’ eyes across its road network. The requirement is recurring and is intended to improve road safety, durability and the quality of highway infrastructure while minimising disruption to road users. The work will be delivered within South Lanarkshire’s geographical boundaries. This is a works opportunity for contractors able to undertake road surfacing and marking activities, including installation of reflective road studs. The main classification is road-surface treatment works (CPV 45233251). The Council is the buying organisation and will require delivery in line with relevant industry standards, health and safety legislation and traffic-management requirements.

The procurement has reached tender: South Lanarkshire Council invited offers through a single-lot open tender, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 17 September 2026 at 12:00, with opening at the same time; the award period starts on 17 September 2026. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend by up to 24 months. Bids must remain valid until 16 March 2027. Evaluation is based on the most economically advantageous tender: price carries 70% and technical quality 30%. Bidders must meet suitability, economic, financial, technical and professional requirements, including passing two of three financial ratios. Required insurance cover is £10 million employers’ liability and £5 million public liability. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with a minimum of 150 points.

This opportunity suits established highway-maintenance, road-surfacing and road-marking contractors with relevant works experience from the last five years. Suppliers need access to suitable plant and technical equipment for anti-skid surfacing, road markings and reflective road-stud installation, together with technicians or technical bodies responsible for quality control. HGV operations require appropriately licensed drivers, Driver Certificate of Professional Competence and a Goods Vehicle Operator Licence. The successful bidder must hold ISO 9001:2015 quality-management certification, or an equivalent scheme, and ISO 14001:2015 environmental-management certification, or equivalent. The Council will require staff names and qualifications, details of any subcontracting and evidence supporting the qualification responses. Bidders must also be able to offer community benefits and work within South Lanarkshire’s road network.
