South Lanarkshire Council has an ongoing and recurring requirement for the supply and application of highway surfacing and road marking services, including but not limited to anti‑skid surfacing, thermoplastic line markings, road studs and cats eyes, across the Council’s road network. The Council is publishing this Prior Information Notice to engage with the market and provide early visibility of potential future procurement activity. The PIN is intended to inform suppliers of the nature and scope of the forthcoming requirement. The Council anticipates that services will be delivered in accordance with relevant industry standards, health and safety legislation, and traffic management requirements, with a focus on quality, durability and minimising disruption to road users.

This contract will be awarded via the Open Tender procedure based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) criteria under regulation 28 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 which enables the Council to take account of criteria that reflect qualitative technical aspects of the tender submission as well as price when reaching an awarding decision.
