Description
Dorset Council has released a Prior Information Notice to indicate the expected launch of a procurement process for the selection of contractors under a Framework Agreement to cover the provision of highway construction material supplies. This Framework relates to the provision of these services to Dorset Council only and is for collections and deliveries. Traditionally, previous generations of this Framework have been 4-year duration, it is now proposed to increase this up to 8 years (with opening points for new entrants at years 3 and 6). Indicative total spend is expected to be £27m over 8 years (around £3.375m / year). There are currently 4 Lots (Ready mixed concrete / Dry stone aggregates / Coated materials / Surface dressing aggregates). There is provision for the inclusion of supplier’s proprietary products and allowances for typical ancillary rates such as waiting times and mobilising facilities out of normal working hours. The procurement has traditionally been a multiple Lot and multiple supplier Framework. Consideration of the structure of Lots, number of suppliers and other aspects of the approach to this procurement will be given subject to responses to this EOI questionnaire We would be grateful if you could confirm if this opportunity would be of interest to your organisation. This is not a call for competition. The issuing of this EOI document and PIN notice does not commit Dorset Council to commence any related procurement process and nor will the Council be under any obligation to make changes to its proposals following responses received to this EOI. Please submit your response by uploading a completed document to the portal by no later than 14:00 on 29th June 2026.
