This contract, awarded under a limited procurement method, was essential for urgent road upgrade works at the Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks in Cowal, enabling the safe removal of windblown timber. It was a direct award due to urgency under Regulation 33(4)(c) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, allowing procurement without prior publication. The official signing of the contract occurred on 31st March 2025, with Breedon Northern Ltd, located in Dundee, serving as the supplier. The overall contract value is £78,719.9 GBP. This tender opens up significant growth opportunities for businesses in the construction and environmental protection sectors, primarily those capable of supplying commodities such as commercial stone. Large-scale enterprises like Breedon Northern Ltd, which hold the capacity and resources to quickly deliver primary commodities, are well-suited for such contracts. Given the direct award process due to urgent conditions, businesses possessing the ability to provide immediate supply solutions for public sector needs are likely to benefit from similar future opportunities. ## Notice Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has awarded a contract for the supply of commercial stone to support urgent road upgrade works at the Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks in Cowal.

The product in question is a primary commodity. In this case, the procurement related to urgent road upgrade works at Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks, required to facilitate the removal of windblown timber within a limited operational window. Delays would have compromised the commercial viability of the timber. No FLS stone was available on site, and sourcing commercial stone was the only viable option to proceed immediately. Running this procurement via a regulated open tender would have introduced significant delays. To ensure value for money, a competitive element was introduced by obtaining three quotes from market suppliers. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539866 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £78,719 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND | | Locality | INVERNESS | | Post town | Inverness | | Postcode | IV3 8NW | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Highland | | Electoral ward | Inverness West | | Westminster constituency | Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BREEDON NORTHERN | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 14 - Mining, basic metals and related products ### Codes - 14212200 - Aggregates ## Release History - 24 Sep 2025 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539866 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP539866 Kilmun and Ardentinny Commercial Stone - Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) has awarded a contract for the supply of commercial stone to support urgent road upgrade works at the Kilmun and Ardentinny forest blocks in Cowal.
