This initiative aims to construct a 2.5m-wide active travel path along the main road into Sandwick, Shetland. The location for the construction is specified as Sandwick in the Shetland Islands. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the tender being initially active until 15 January 2026, and the contract subsequently awarded on 21 January 2026. The contract, valued at £443,382.30, was awarded to C W Johnson Plant Ltd, marking the completion of the procurement stage. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly those in the construction or infrastructure sectors, to engage in significant works projects commissioned by local authorities. Companies that can demonstrate extensive experience in similar works, particularly in remote or rural settings, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. SMEs like C W Johnson Plant Ltd have successfully capitalised on this opportunity, suggesting that smaller, adaptable firms with robust technical capabilities can benefit from such contracts. The procurement’s open procedure and electronic submission method make it accessible to a wide range of potential suppliers, thus encouraging diverse participation and fostering business growth within the region. ## Notice The works involve the construction of a remote 2.5m wide active travel path along the main road in to Sandwick, Shetland from the north of the junction with the Sea Gaet to the housing scheme called Veester Hill. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The type of contract awarded is a Works contract. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552800 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 15 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Jan 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £443,382 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHETLAND ISLANDS COUNCIL | | Locality | LERWICK, SHETLAND | | Post town | Lerwick | | Postcode | ZE1 0LZ | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Shetland Islands | | Electoral ward | Lerwick North and Bressay | | Westminster constituency | Orkney and Shetland | | Delivery location | TLM66 Shetland Islands | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | C W JOHNSON PLANT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45233161 - Footpath construction work ## Release History - 30 Mar 2026 at 00:00 - Award - PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552800 - 9 Dec 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC545279 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=6 7th January 2026 - Drawing HCD F5 - Bill Item 500.2.1 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=1 9th December 2025 - Instructions for Tendering - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=2 9th December 2025 - Short Contract Document - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=3 9th December 2025 - Pre-Construction Health and Safety Plan - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=4 9th December 2025 - Drawings - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=DEC545279&idx=5 9th December 2025 - Bill of Quantities - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC545279 Setter to Veester Hill, Sandwick, Shetland - Active Travel Path - The works involve the construction of a remote 2.5m wide active travel path along the main road in to Sandwick, Shetland from the north of the junction with the Sea Gaet to the housing scheme called Veester Hill. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR552800 Setter to Veester Hill, Sandwick, Shetland - Active Travel Path - The works involve the construction of a remote 2.5m wide active travel path along the main road in to Sandwick, Shetland from the north of the junction with the Sea Gaet to the housing scheme called Veester Hill. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.shetland.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000816603 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
