Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council procured road surfacing materials through its Road Surfacing Materials Framework. The requirement covers materials used in road construction and maintenance, including bituminous mixtures, aggregates, gravel, sand, asphalt, roadstone and related products. Delivery is for the Scottish Borders area, including the Council’s road network. This is a goods procurement rather than a works or construction-services contract: suppliers provide the materials needed for surfacing activity. The framework was used by Scottish Borders Council to place call-off business with multiple suppliers. Relevant businesses include quarries, aggregate producers, asphalt and bituminous-material manufacturers, construction-material distributors and suppliers with the logistics capacity to deliver materials to sites across the Scottish Borders.

The procurement has been awarded and the framework call-off is complete; the resulting contract is active. It used an open procedure for one lot under the Road Surfacing Materials Framework. The award was made on 1 April 2026, with the reported regulated call-off spend covering 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The active contract value is £2,778,548.35. Awarded suppliers and values were: Tillicoultry Quarries Ltd £1,139,844.32; Breedon Trading Limited £773,486.34; Tarmac Trading Limited £553,601.73; Grange Quarry Ltd £232,559.96; Geddes Group £30,796.40; Border Mix Ltd £26,866.75; NWH Construction Services Ltd £21,392.85; and Skene Group Construction Services Ltd £0.00. Eight bids were recorded, including five from SMEs. Price and quality weightings did not apply to the cumulative-spend award notice.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for a broad range of road surfacing materials in the Scottish Borders and shows that the Council uses a multi-supplier framework for call-off purchasing. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to aggregates, asphalt, bituminous mixtures, gravel, sand, roadstone and related materials, together with production capacity, quality control and reliable delivery arrangements. Suppliers should be able to fulfil repeated orders for council road-maintenance activity and coordinate deliveries to dispersed sites across the area. The supplier mix included major national or regional materials businesses and smaller Scottish firms, showing that both scale and specialist or local supply capability can be relevant. Businesses with quarrying, materials manufacturing, haulage, distribution and public-sector framework experience are the closest fit.
