This project falls under the industry category of general public services with a focus on works, specifically within the quarrying sector. Located on the Isle of Luing in Argyll, the procurement is currently in the planning stage, initiated as a tender process. Essential deadlines include a future notice date on 8th September 2025, indicating forthcoming opportunities for involvement. The project's deliverables encompass various phases such as site preparation, access road creation, and the establishment of a temporary processing facility, aimed at enhancing flood resilience and slate quarry operation on behalf of the Isle of Luing Community Trust. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, site preparation, and equipment supply for quarry operations. Companies proficient in high-quality slate extraction techniques, including advanced drilling or blasting, may find this project particularly advantageous for business growth. Additionally, firms with experience in the construction of temporary facilities for processing and packaging materials can leverage these requirements to develop their market presence. Successfully engaging in this project could enhance a company's portfolio within regional public service projects and bolster its reputation in executing intricate setup and infrastructure tasks. ## Notice The project's primary deliverables include one-off capital works for the setup of the quarry site, involving site preparation, the removal of overburden, creation of an access road, the use of advanced drilling or blasting techniques to access high-quality slate within the quarry. Additionally, a temporary processing facility will be established. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Phase 1 Initial Quarry Setup: This includes the creation of an access road within the existing redundant quarry. The removal of overburden from the historic slate production, as well as blasting and drilling the quarry face to removal the outer material to open up access to extract valuable slate. The total quarry area covers a section of land no more than 7 acres which includes the start of the access road, the production building, and the lead up to the quarry face and extraction site. Phase 2 Removal of Overburden to Shore: The excess material from the removal of the quarry face requires removal away from the quarry site. This is usually stored somewhere else on site, but the Luing Quarry is a small area with no provision for the storage of surplus material. Due to the considerable weight of material this movement is standard but in the case of the Cullipool quarry it will be deposited to the shore directly adjacent to the quarry. Phase 3 Processing Facility: Construction of a temporary facility for processing, cutting, splitting, dressing, packaging, and transporting the slate for sale.. This procurement is being carried out on behalf of Isle of Luing Community Trust ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG536800 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 8 Sep 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL | | Locality | LOCHGILPHEAD | | Post town | Paisley | | Postcode | PA31 8RT | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Argyll and Bute | | Electoral ward | Mid Argyll | | Westminster constituency | Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber | | Delivery location | TLM63 Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran and Cumbrae, and Argyll and Bute | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45113000 - Siteworks - 45220000 - Engineering works and construction works - 45233000 - Construction, foundation and surface works for highways, roads - 45233120 - Road construction works - 45233140 - Roadworks ## Release History - 12 Aug 2025 at 00:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG536800 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG536800 Isle of Luing Slate Quarry - Set-up & Flood Resilience Works - The project's primary deliverables include one-off capital works for the setup of the quarry site, involving site preparation, the removal of overburden, creation of an access road, the use of advanced drilling or blasting techniques to access high-quality slate within the quarry.
