The North-east’s largest independent supplier of building materials has secured a four year contract to supply local authorities across Scotland with concrete and construction aggregates.
GPH Builders Merchants, which operate from four branches across the region, will hold a place on the Scotland Excel Roadstone Framework contract.
The contract will see the Inverurie headquartered company supply concrete from its QuickMix volumetric concrete trucks to the public sector, meeting their concrete requirements. As a unique feature offered by the company to all customers, each local authority will have the opportunity to offset the carbon emissions generated from the supply of concrete through the volumetric supply service.
Commenting on the contract award, Grant Shewan, Managing Director said “It is a strategic aim of the company to grow our sales within the public sector and this recent contract award is a major step towards this.”
“Our volumetric concrete business has continued to grow since we started in early 2021, the ability for customers to have exact quantities of concrete delivered to site without incurring supplementary charges for small quantities has been extremely popular”
Commenting on the supply of construction sand and gravels, Grant added “We have been supplying construction aggregates since our inception in 1982 and this has grown in recent years with the addition of a sand deposit in Elgin via a sales agency agreement and a packaging facility in Edzell, increasing our reach for aggregate sales from Moray to Angus”
Scotland Excel is the Scottish Centre for Procurement Expertise, working exclusively on behalf of all public sector organisations in Scotland.
