Supply of Highways Aggregates and Bitumen Products

Descriptions

Framework for the supply of Highways Aggregates, such as, but not limited to Type 1, clean stone, Cement, Tarmac, Drums of Tac Coat, Bulk Building Sand, Type 1 MOT, Post Fix, Buff 10mm - Dust (Bridleways), Pothole Repair Aggregates and other associated aggregates.

The Council is looking to put in place a Framework with up to 2 Suppliers, either with 1 Supplier for bitumen products and 1 Supplier for dry aggregates or a single Supplier for both. Separate basket of goods will be priced to determine the winner for both Lots.

Suppliers may bid for 1 or both Lots.

Lot 1 - Bituminous Products

Lot 2 - Dry Aggregates

The Council currently spends circa £400,000 - £500,000 plus VAT per annum on the various aggregates for highways maintenance. This figure does not guarantee the value of the new framework and shall be considered as historical information only, though the majority of previous spend was on bitumen products.

Each of the Suppliers must be able to deliver to sites throughout the Oldham Borough as well as being able to cater for collections from premises reasonably local to Oldham Borough Council depot at Moorhey Street, Oldham, OL4 1JF.

The Council may also use this Contract for the purchase of aggregates that are not required for highways use.
