Summary of the contracting process

Energy Transition Zone Limited procured site infrastructure works for the ETZ Hydrogen Campus in Aberdeen. The requirement was for a main civil engineering contractor to deliver site-wide enabling infrastructure for future development plots. The works include cut-and-fill earthworks to create platformed sites, installation of core services and drainage, and construction of associated primary access road infrastructure. This is a construction and civil engineering opportunity focused on site preparation, clearance, utilities, drainage, earthworks and access infrastructure. The work is located at the ETZ Hydrogen Campus in Aberdeen. The buyer is Energy Transition Zone Limited, a private not-for-profit organisation operating in the energy transition sector. The requirement covers the infrastructure needed to support proposed development plots across the campus.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 17 November 2025, with evaluation scheduled from that date; bids were opened on 17 November 2025. Two electronic bids were received, both from SMEs. The contract was awarded to CHAP Group (Aberdeen) Ltd on 26 February 2026 for £4,083,867. The planned contract duration was 360 days, with electronic ordering and payment and electronic invoicing permitted. Evaluation was based mainly on price at 80%, with relevant experience, method statement and programme each carrying 5%, and community benefits and sustainable procurement each carrying 2.5%. The single tender lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This procurement shows demand from Energy Transition Zone Limited for substantial civil engineering capability supporting hydrogen and wider energy-transition development in Aberdeen. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering comparable site-wide enabling works, including bulk earthworks, formation of development platforms, drainage, utility infrastructure and primary access roads. The evaluation placed strong emphasis on price, but also required convincing evidence of relevant experience, a practical method statement and a deliverable programme. Suppliers should therefore be able to demonstrate controlled construction planning, coordination of multiple infrastructure elements and the capacity to act as a main civil engineering contractor. Community benefits and sustainable procurement also formed part of the assessment, so bidders would need credible local social-value and environmental approaches. Two SME bids indicate that suitably capable smaller firms can compete, either independently or through an appropriately resourced delivery model.
