Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council is in the planning phase of a procurement process titled "Main Contractor Services Framework," aiming to establish a multi-lot framework agreement for building construction work under CPV code 45210000. This framework will address a variety of construction and refurbishment projects across the council's estate, encompassing both housing and non-housing initiatives. The tender process is classified under the 'works' procurement category, specifically scheduled with a communication of a future notice date on 9th November 2026. The framework's geographical focus is Dundee City, within the UKM71 region.

This tender opens significant business growth opportunities particularly for skilled construction and refurbishment service providers. Businesses with expertise in general building works, conservation and heritage construction projects, and those with TrustMark accreditation or seeking it, are especially suited for this framework. Contractors are required to possess relevant qualifications, accreditations, and demonstrate past project experience of comparable scale and value, adhering to necessary compliance with building standards and regulations. This initiative supports business growth by engaging with a diversity of contractors, fostering local development, and enabling participation in significant public infrastructure projects.
