Answer

"The main volume of materials was delivered" is correct because "was delivered" refers to the volume and volume is singular.

"The main scope of supply was delivered".  Can you give me more context for this sentence?  What does sentence refer to?  It does not sound right but in order to correct it, it would be helpful to know what it has to do with.

Answer

Make material singular and you are good. Material, and many other nouns can be uncountable in certain circumstances
