Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council procured road-marking application works through a framework for its roads in Argyll and Bute. The requirement is to apply road markings, rather than to supply a standalone product. The council is the buyer, and the framework covers work across the council area. The procurement was classified as road construction work (CPV 45233141). The framework appointed contractors to undertake the road-marking work as required, providing a route for the council to commission these works. The framework involved electronic auction arrangements. The work is relevant to road-marking contractors able to deliver on roads across Argyll and Bute.

The procurement is complete and the framework contract is active. Argyll and Bute Council used an open procedure to establish a single-lot framework. Three suppliers were appointed: Central Traffic Management Ltd, Markon Limited and WJ Scotland (a trading division of WJ North Ltd). The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and has a recorded value of £600,000. The stated initial framework period is 720 days, with the council able to extend it by up to two further one-year periods. The tender deadline was 19 June 2026. Bids were evaluated through economic and technical selection criteria; bidders had to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Variants were not allowed. The contract permits electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is allowed.

This award shows that Argyll and Bute Council buys road-marking application through a multi-supplier framework, with three contractors appointed and all three bids reported as coming from SMEs. A credible competitor would need practical capability to apply road markings across a geographically broad council area, and sufficient staff capacity to respond to work commissioned through a framework. The council required bidders to identify the staff assigned to delivery and provide their qualifications, so demonstrable workforce competence is important. The open competition and the mix of economic and technical selection criteria indicate that suppliers need both a viable commercial offer and evidence of technical delivery capability. Businesses specialising in road-marking works, including smaller contractors able to serve Argyll and Bute, are the closest fit for this recurring requirement.
