In plain English
Argyll and Bute Council is running an open purchasing system (DPS) for surface dressing works, which is the laying of protective bitumen coating on roads and pavements. This notice reopens the system to accept new contractor applications until 2034.
What the buyer wants
• Supply and apply surface dressing materials to roads and pavements • Meet quality and safety standards for highways maintenance • Be available to deliver work across Argyll and Bute as and when the council requests it
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
Most small businesses without specialist road treatment equipment, a significant plant fleet, and established highways experience will struggle to compete; this is typically dominated by larger civils contractors with multiple crews and £1m+ annual turnover in highways work.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
