This construction activity falls under the "works" category and is part of the public services industry sector, located in Moray, Scotland, designated by region code UKM62. The tender is currently active and follows an open procedure procurement method. Interested parties need to note the submission deadline set for 13th March 2026, with the tender process officially concluding with bid opening on the same date. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for contractors in the construction sector, particularly those with experience in industrial and infrastructure projects. Businesses engaged in design and build operations for similar building types, particularly those that function within aggressive environments like salt storage, will find this tender ideal for leveraging their expertise. Companies with strong financial standings (evidenced by a minimum turnover of £1 million) and robust insurance coverage are well-positioned to compete, especially if they can demonstrate past experience through relevant project examples. The tender's open procedure encourages widespread participation, offering a chance for well-prepared contractors to expand their influence within the local government-linked infrastructure domain. ## Notice This project involves the construction of a new steel-framed, cladded building designed to store up to 4,000 tonnes of grit/salt. The facility will support winter maintenance operations by ensuring secure, weather-resistant storage of road treatment materials. It is being delivered as part of the organisation's commitment to maintaining safe and accessible transport infrastructure during adverse weather conditions. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Design and Build of Keith Salt Barn.
