Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council bought road signage materials for use across the Scottish Borders. The requirement covers road and traffic signs, signposts, sign supports and related signage products, including illuminated or electrical sign equipment and materials used in road-sign installation. The procurement was managed by the council, with delivery associated with the Scottish Borders area. It was a goods requirement rather than a works or service contract. The purchase was made through the Scotland Excel Framework for Road Signage Materials, framework reference 2222, supporting the council’s ongoing road-management and traffic-signing needs. The selected supplier was Mallatite Limited, an SME based in Renfrew, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist signage-materials business serving local-authority road networks.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Scottish Borders Council called off from the Scotland Excel Road Signage Materials Framework through an open procedure. The recorded requirement covers cumulative framework spend during the 12-month period from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. One lot covered the full requirement, and its status is complete. Mallatite Limited was selected as supplier. The contract value is £50,473.83, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026; its status is active. One bid was recorded, from an SME. The notice states that price and quality weightings and other award criteria do not apply because this publication records cumulative spend under the collaborative framework rather than a new competition. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement is useful evidence of Scottish Borders Council’s recurring demand for road signage materials and its use of a collaborative Scotland Excel framework to buy them. A credible competitor would need to supply a broad range of road and traffic signs, signposts, supports and associated signage or electrical products, with the product knowledge and operational capacity to serve a local-authority road network. The requirement suits a specialist manufacturer, distributor or framework participant able to manage repeat orders and dependable delivery across the Scottish Borders. The single recorded bid and the selection of an SME also show that an established small or medium-sized signage supplier can meet this buyer’s requirements through the relevant framework route.
