Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is buying roadstone and quarry materials for its Roads Operations, supporting the construction and maintenance of carriageways and footways across Fife. The requirement covers Type 1 sub-base granular materials, single-sized and graded roadstone and concrete aggregates, coated roadstone, and ready-mix concrete. Materials must meet the Specification for Highway Works and relevant British and European Standards where stated. Deliveries and collections will support works throughout Fife, with access to suppliers across the area considered important. This is a goods procurement divided into four lots: granular sub-base; single-sized, graded roadstone and concrete aggregates; coated roadstone; and ready-mix concrete. The main classification is roadstone for construction, CPV 44113140.

The procurement has reached tender: Fife Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids were due by 12 October 2026 at 12:00, with the evaluation and public bid opening scheduled from that time. The estimated contract period is 720 days for each lot, with renewal of up to 24 months and potential additional purchases in line with Scottish procurement rules. The estimated total value is £12,800,000. There are four lots, and suppliers may bid for any number. Awards will be based on price weighted at 80% and quality at 20%; variants are not allowed. Bids must be in English and remain valid for 180 days. The procurement uses a framework agreement with up to 12 participants.

This opportunity suits quarries, aggregate merchants, asphalt and coated-roadstone producers, ready-mix concrete suppliers, and distributors able to supply and deliver construction materials across Fife. Relevant production, quality-control and delivery capacity will be important, particularly for suppliers working to highway specifications and British and European Standards. Businesses should be able to support multiple material categories or focus on one or more lots, with reliable collection and delivery arrangements for council roadworks. Selection includes technical and suitability checks and requires proposed subcontractor details. Economic assessment uses current ratios from the last two years of published audited accounts, with a ratio of at least 1 expected; alternative financial evidence may be considered where justified. The framework includes KPI performance terms, electronic ordering and payment, subcontracting obligations and community benefits.
