## Summary

Orkney Islands Council has undertaken an open procurement process to award contracts for the provision of haulage services for aggregate and rock salt from Cursiter Quarry to various islands within the Orkney Island Group. This procurement falls under the category of general public services and involves a total of four lots, with each contract spanning 2.5 years and options for two additional one-year extensions. The services are required across locations such as Stronsay, Eday, Westray, and Sanday, providing logistical solutions for essential materials. The contract award stage, dated 6th May 2025, marks the completion of this procurement process, following the tender period that concluded on 3rd April 2025.

The tender presents significant prospects for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises that specialise in haulage and transportation services.

Businesses with capabilities in logistical management and transportation operations in regional or remote locations can leverage such opportunities to expand their services and increase their market presence in the Orkney Islands. The open procedure method ensures a transparent competitive environment, encouraging diverse business participation and fostering economic development by supporting local transport service providers in these regions.
