Lot #8Retread and Micro AsphaltCancelled

Retread process - a recycling process in which the existing aggregate in the road is used, bitumen emulsion is added and the road reshaped. It is usually suitable for use on lightly trafficked roads.

To prolong the life of the asset, this is usually followed by the micro asphalt process, however, each can be used independently.

The micro asphalt process is a two-phase process. First, a regulating layer of material is applied. This improves the surface profile of the road. This is followed by a second layer which gives the final surface. Both layers are usually applied on the same day, to a thickness of approximately 14mm

Delivery: Scotland
Variant bids: not allowed

Lot #10Spray Injection PatchingCancelled

A process that allows road defects such as potholes, cracking and crazing to be fixed by applying a blended bitumen emulsion and aggregate mix to potholes for a permanent repair solution.

Published award criteria (2)
  • Quality: 40
  • Price: 60
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Roads Maintenance Framework 2024-2028” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
