Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council procured road works covering the installation and maintenance of road studs, road markings and high-friction surfacing across Aberdeenshire. The requirement is intended to support the safety and upkeep of the council’s road network. It is a works contract for a supplier able to deliver specialist road-surface marking and treatment activities, rather than the supply of standalone materials. The council is based at Woodhill House in Aberdeen and is the organisation buying and managing the requirement. The work concerns the Aberdeenshire area. The procurement classification is CPV 45233220, covering road-surface work. The single requirement was handled as one lot, so businesses would need to be able to provide the combined road-stud, marking and high-friction surfacing service rather than bid for separate work packages.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Aberdeenshire Council used an open procedure, with responses submitted electronically in English through the Single Procurement Document and supporting appendices. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening at 12:30 the same day. One electronic bid was recorded, and variants were not allowed. The estimated tender value was £100,000. The contract was awarded to Markon Limited, and the contract was signed on 30 July 2026 for £168,444.66. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the required SPD, award questionnaire, pricing schedule, certificates and declarations, business-continuity information, contract-management plan and KPI scoring materials.

This opportunity indicates demand from Aberdeenshire Council for a single specialist contractor able to deliver road studs, road markings and high-friction surfacing as an integrated service. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in road-surface marking and treatment, suitable equipment and resources for work across the council area, and the capacity to manage a complete works requirement rather than an isolated supply package. The tender materials also show that the council expects suppliers to address business continuity, contract management and key performance indicators, alongside pricing and the formal supplier questionnaire. Relevant certificates and declarations would need to be prepared, and suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable operational controls, performance monitoring and delivery arrangements for public-road works.
