Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is conducting a procurement process for the Craighill New Build Housing Project, aimed at redeveloping a site in Aberdeen to create social housing, comprising approximately 85 units. The procurement falls under the "General public services" and "Economic affairs" industry categories and employs a restricted procedure method under the selective procurement approach. The redevelopment works are set to begin in Quarter 3 of 2024 and span a contract period of 1.5 years, with the tender process currently active and submissions due by 13th November 2023. The project location is identified as UKM50, with all properties required to meet stringent standards including Gold Technical Standard and relevant statutory regulations. The contract, awarded under the SBCC Design and Build, 2016 edition, was signed on 12th August 2024 for a total value of £16,191,382.28 GBP, with the CHAP Group identified as the supplier.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for firms specialising in construction and redevelopment projects, given the scale, fixed price lump sum nature, and the comprehensive requirements outlined. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with strong design, build capabilities, and compliance with Construction Design and Management Regulations could highly benefit. The successful tenderer will assume the Principal Contractor role, involving extensive engagement in developing high-quality social housing units across Aberdeen, thus enhancing their portfolio and market position. Opportunities for community benefits and potential sub-contracts exist, offering further scope for local businesses and smaller contractors to participate in this transformative housing initiative.
