## Summary

Scottish Borders Council bought bitumen products for its roads and related transport infrastructure through the Scotland Excel Framework for Bitumen Products. The requirement covers bitumen and asphalt-related materials, including paving-grade bitumen, bituminous mixtures and road-surfacing materials. Delivery was for Scottish Borders Council’s area in the Scottish Borders. This was a goods requirement rather than a construction works or consultancy service. The framework call-off involved two awarded suppliers, Colas Limited and Nynas UK AB, indicating a requirement suited to established manufacturers, distributors or suppliers able to provide compliant bitumen products and support public-sector road maintenance requirements. The procurement’s main classification is bitumen, under CPV code 44113610.

This is a completed contract award following an open procedure and a call-off from the Scotland Excel Framework for Bitumen Products. The requirement covered one lot. The reported contract period ran from 19 May 2025 to 31 March 2026, and the contract was signed on 1 April 2026. The total contract value was £477,929.85. Nynas UK AB was awarded £322,900.52 and Colas Limited £155,029.33; these amounts are separate awards and have not been combined beyond the reported contract value. Two bids were recorded. The notice states that award criteria, including price and quality weightings, did not apply because the procurement reports cumulative spend incurred through the collaborative framework. The contract status is active.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for bitumen products from Scottish Borders Council and the use of a collaborative framework route rather than a standalone tender. A credible future competitor would need dependable access to bitumen and associated road-surfacing materials, reliable distribution into the Scottish Borders, and the operational capacity to support council road-maintenance programmes. The awarded suppliers were large organisations, suggesting that production, stockholding, logistics and delivery resilience are important competitive strengths. Suppliers should also be able to work within framework call-off arrangements and provide consistent product quality, documentation and service to a public-sector buyer managing recurring infrastructure requirements.
