Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has recently completed a procurement process for the purchase of the JCB Pothole Pro, aimed at repairing damaged road surfaces. The process fell under the industry category of general public services and took place in the UKM91 region, specifically at Newtown St Boswells. This contract, identified as WR-536, was awarded on 18th May 2026 for a total value of £204,000. The procurement was conducted via a limited method, without prior publication of a call for competition, justified by the unique nature of the machinery and the inclusion of a trade-in deal by the supplier. The tender has travelled through its complete process to the contract award stage.

The opportunity presented by this tender highlights the necessity for specialised machinery suppliers, particularly those that can offer unique products like the Pothole Pro, which aids in the specific industry's development and efficiency. Businesses that specialise in road maintenance machinery and have unique offerings or trade-in propositions would find themselves well-suited to compete in such tenders. The contract was awarded to Scot JCB, a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating the viable opportunities for SMEs to engage and expand within public sector contracts through provision of specialised equipment.
