Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council bought construction materials for its public services through the Scotland Excel Construction Materials Framework. The requirement covers general building materials, construction supplies and electrical materials, including products within the construction materials, building materials and natural sand or stone categories. Delivery was for Scottish Borders Council in the Scottish Borders, including the council’s operating area around Newtown St Boswells and Galashiels. The framework brought together multiple suppliers to meet the council’s purchasing needs through call-off arrangements. The appointed businesses were STARK Building Materials trading as Jewson, MKM Building Supplies, Travis Perkins Trading Company, Edmundson Electrical Galashiels and James M Anderson. This is a goods requirement suited to merchants and distributors able to supply a broad range of construction and electrical materials to a local authority.

This procurement is complete and was awarded through an open procedure as a call-off from the Scotland Excel Construction Materials Framework. The award date was 1 April 2026, and the recorded contract period covered 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. One framework lot was used. Five suppliers were awarded separate shares: Edmundson Electrical Ltd, £59,298.96; STARK Building Materials UK Limited, £189,551.87; Travis Perkins Trading Company Ltd, £209,770.11; MKM Building Supplies Ltd, £107,847.92; and James M Anderson Ltd, £108,643.00. The recorded contract value was £675,111.86 in total, with the contract shown as active. Five bids were recorded, including one from an SME. Price and quality weightings did not apply to this cumulative framework-spend award.

The award demonstrates recurring local-authority demand for a wide range of construction and electrical materials delivered through a collaborative framework. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established builders’ merchants, specialist electrical distributors and regional material suppliers with dependable stockholding, trade-counter or distribution capacity and the ability to serve council requirements across the Scottish Borders. The successful supplier group included both national businesses and a local electrical branch, while one successful business was recorded as an SME, indicating that participation can suit businesses of different sizes where they can meet framework requirements. Credibility for a future requirement would depend on demonstrating reliable fulfilment, breadth of product range, responsive ordering and delivery, and experience supplying public-sector or similarly structured construction customers through framework call-offs.
