Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council bought the supply and delivery of bollards for use across Fife. This is a goods contract covering the provision of bollards and their delivery to the council’s area. The contracting authority is Fife Council, a local authority and central purchasing body. The requirement is focused on physical highway or public-realm products rather than installation, construction or consultancy services. The relevant classification is CPV 44113900, covering road-maintenance materials. The awarded supplier, Glasdon UK Limited, is based in Blackpool and is recorded as an SME. Businesses operating in the manufacture, wholesale, distribution or delivery of bollards and comparable street furniture would be closest to this requirement, particularly those able to supply a local authority across Fife.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Fife Council used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, making a direct award under Regulation 6(1) after an earlier procurement received no tenders or no suitable tenders. There was one bid, submitted electronically by an SME. Glasdon UK Limited was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and is active, with an awarded contract value of £54,621. The award was recorded on 17 July 2026. Fife Council may make additional purchases not specifically detailed in the specification, subject to Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The evaluation outcome reflects a single qualifying route rather than a competitive comparison between multiple bids.

This award shows a defined requirement for bollards and associated delivery within Fife, with a local authority using a direct-award route after an earlier competition produced no suitable response. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to bollard products, reliable stock or manufacturing capacity, and a distribution operation able to fulfil council orders across the area. Experience supplying councils or other public-sector and infrastructure customers would help demonstrate understanding of public procurement, product durability, ordering controls and delivery requirements. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be handled by a specialist smaller business rather than only a large national contractor. Suppliers should also be able to manage additional compliant orders when the council’s needs extend beyond the originally specified products.
