Using an open procedure, the procurement focused on goods within the aggregates and coated roadstone industry categories. Located in Aberystwyth, United Kingdom, the Council sought to secure a reliable provider for this indispensable road maintenance supply, awarding the contract to Gerald Davies & Sons Limited. The contract, estimated between £600,000 and £800,000 and potentially extending to 2028, begins on 13th April 2026 and will initially run until 30th September 2027. Key dates include the award decision on 24th March 2026 and the conclusion of the standstill period on 2nd April 2026. This tender was part of the Council's planning process where open competition was preferred over pre-market consultation. With the successful award of this tender in the surface dressing chippings industry, businesses in the aggregates and road maintenance sectors can find substantial growth opportunities. The procurement method and the open procedure provide fair access, potentially benefiting SMEs specialising in aggregates supply, technical capacity, and environmental management. Gerald Davies & Sons Limited, a recognised SME, exemplifies the opportunity for similar sized enterprises to thrive in the market through competitive bids and the ability to meet technical and commercial criteria. Such entities with experience in handling large quantities like 4,000 tonnes of 10mm aggregate and other associated materials annually are well-placed to benefit from the contractual requirements. Additionally, future funding streams may increase demand, presenting further potential for business expansion. The emphasis on quality and price underscores the significance of delivering value through skilled workmanship and strategic pricing. ## Notice Ceredigion County Council is awarding to a suitably qualified and competent Supplier for the supply and delivery of surface dressing chippings.The prices submitted by bidders were calculated using estimated tonnages for the purposes of the tender evaluation only.
