Framework No: 0224

About this framework

Framework period: 19 May 2025 to 18 May 2029

Scotland Excel’s fifth generation bitumen and associated products framework will provide councils with access to a range of bitumen related products including bulk bitumen, reinstatement products, surface dressings, cementitious products, and sundry bitumen related products.

As with all our frameworks, this framework was developed in close consultation with key stakeholders. It is fully compliant with all legislative requirements and was developed in line with Scotland Excel’s sustainable procurement approach.
