## Summary

Argyll and Bute Council plans modernisation works for its roads depot estate in Lochgilphead. The project covers two sites, at Bishopton Road and Monydrain, where the council intends to bring services currently spread across Lochgilphead together. The plans follow a feasibility study completed to RIBA Stage 2. The expected construction scope includes building works, ground drainage, workshops and associated engineering and construction works. Delivery is in Lochgilphead, at the two named sites. This is part of a wider council programme to rationalise its roads depots across the estate, rather than a standalone purchase of depot equipment or services.

This is at the planning stage: the council has stated its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The procurement is planned as a single lot. A future notice is expected on 15 March 2027; this is the buyer’s anticipated publication date, not a bid deadline. The available planning information gives no estimated contract value or budget. No procurement method, evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions are set out at this stage. The feasibility study has reached RIBA Stage 2 for both Lochgilphead sites, giving prospective suppliers an early indication of the project’s development status and broad construction scope. These plans may inform suppliers considering whether to prepare for a future construction competition.

The planned works are likely to suit construction contractors with the capability to deliver building and engineering works for roads depot facilities, including workshop construction and ground drainage. Suppliers able to coordinate work across two sites in Lochgilphead and support the consolidation of council services would be relevant to the stated project purpose. The procurement is part of a broader roads depot rationalisation programme, which may be of interest to firms experienced in public-sector depot or estate projects. The published plans identify no required accreditations, minimum capacity, specialist experience or other supplier qualifications, so businesses should use the upcoming procurement information to determine the eventual requirements. The council’s Stage 2 feasibility work offers an early indication of the project’s development, but the process has not reached the tender invitation stage.
