Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council procured a multi-supplier framework for the design and delivery of internal renewal and upgrade works in houses and flatted properties across Aberdeen City. The work covers kitchens, bathrooms, electrical installations, joinery, partitions, floor coverings and decoration, together with associated making-good work. This is housing construction and refurbishment (CPV 45000000). The framework is intended to support multiple work call-offs, with delivery shared between framework contractors and the Council’s in-house resources. Suppliers would need to provide the design and build capability for these varied internal property works, rather than a single trade or one-off installation.

The procurement is complete and contracts were signed on 8 October 2026. Mears Limited and Space Solutions (Scotland) Limited were selected as suppliers. Each has a recorded contract value of £38,012,847.73; these are separate amounts and are not combined here. The procurement was run as a restricted procedure for a framework, with a single lot. The Council evaluated supplier selection through SPD questions, then planned to invite six shortlisted candidates to tender. The subsequent tender evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. The framework period is two years, with two optional one-year extensions. The original estimated budget was £30 million for all contractors; the notice indicated an approximate, non-binding target turnover of £3–5 million per framework contractor each year, subject to allocation and reviews.

This award demonstrates demand from Aberdeen City Council for coordinated internal housing refurbishment across kitchens, bathrooms, electrical systems, joinery, partitions, flooring and decoration, including associated making-good. A credible competitor would need the ability to design and deliver a broad range of trades across houses and flatted properties, and to manage several work call-offs under a shared framework. The Council’s approach places importance on both quality and price, while the initial supplier selection used SPD responses. Suppliers should therefore be able to evidence relevant technical and commercial suitability, provide appropriately qualified staff, and deliver against the Council’s key performance indicators and community-benefit expectations. The work is divided among framework contractors and in-house resources, so a supplier must be capable of operating within an allocated share of a wider programme rather than relying on the entire workload.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Housing Capital Projects 2026-30 - Internal works to Houses

Notice Description

Multiple Supplier Framework to deliver the design and build aspects of the Internal Works to Houses and flatted properties Framework . This involves work to renew and upgrade elements such as kitchens, bathrooms, electrical installations, joinery, partitions, floors coverings, decoration, and all associated making good. This framework is to have a duration of two years, with the potential for this to be extended by two further periods of one year, during which period a number of call-offs may be initiated. Interested parties are invited to submit completed SPDs that will allow Aberdeen City Council to select bidders to invite to the next stage. These SPD Instructions provide full details of the selection criteria applicable at this stage. Only those bidders who are short-listed as a result of the SPD evaluation process described in these instructions will be issued with an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Aberdeen City Council intends to issue an ITT up to a maximum of SIX bidders. Bidders should note that the estimated value below consists of the provisional budget allocated within the capital plan for all contractors. The actual value per contractor will be expected to be a much smaller proportion following distribution of work amongst an anticipated 3no framework contractors, work carried out by direct in-house resources, contingency allowances, non-access to properties, efficiency savings, and subject to regular reviews and re-allocations of priorities by the Council. The non-binding target is that each framework contractor would receive approximately GBP3-5Million of work turnover per year. The framework contractors will also be required to perform to the council's key performance indicator targets, and community benefits expectations (described elsewhere)
