Summary of the contracting process

North Ayrshire Council bought grounds and plant equipment, together with road signage materials, for its roads and transport requirements. The equipment spend was associated with framework category 1522, while signage materials were associated with category 2222. The named equipment suppliers were Hamilton Ross Group Ltd, Reid Hydraulic Services Limited and The Double A Trading Company Limited. The named signage suppliers were Limelight Signs, P. F. Cusack (Tools Supplies) Ltd and Royal British Legion Industries Ltd trading as Scotland’s Bravest Manufacturing Company. The work is for North Ayrshire Council, based in Irvine, and delivery is in North Ayrshire. The procurement is classified as public administration services under CPV 75110000, although the practical requirements concern equipment and materials for roads and transport.

This is a completed, awarded procurement under the Scotland Excel Roads and Transport Frameworks, using an open procedure. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and covered framework spend from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. It had one completed lot. The recorded value for grounds and plant equipment was £360,636, while road signage materials were valued at £28,040; the contract record gives an overall value of £388,676. The award named six suppliers across the two requirements: three for equipment and three for signage materials. Nine bids were recorded, all from SMEs and submitted electronically. The notice concerns cumulative framework spend and excludes individual call-offs above £50,000 for supplies and services or £2 million for works where a separate award notice would have been required.

This procurement shows recurring public-sector demand for two practical supply areas: grounds and plant equipment, and road signage materials. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would be established SMEs able to supply, source or distribute equipment used in roads and grounds operations, alongside businesses manufacturing or supplying compliant road signs and related materials. The six awarded suppliers indicate that the council used several specialist providers rather than relying on one supplier for the full requirement. A credible competitor would therefore need a relevant product range, dependable fulfilment across North Ayrshire and the capacity to support framework call-offs. Experience supplying councils or framework customers, responsive order handling and the ability to submit bids electronically would also be relevant strengths when similar requirements are tested through the same route.
