Summary of the contracting process

Dundee City Council has awarded a contract for the construction of 24 flats at Blackness Road, Dundee, following a Restricted procurement process. The contract, valued at approximately £5.97 million, was awarded to Clark Contracts Limited, a large-scale enterprise, on 8 July 2025. The procurement process involved a two-stage evaluation to assess bidders' capability and capacity to perform the contract, with a minimum of five and a maximum of eight bidders invited to the second stage. The industry category for this project is 'works' with reference to CPV code 45211000 and is classified under 'General public services'. The development site is located in Dundee within the UKM71 region, and the tender process followed a selective procurement method under the 'works' category. Key deadlines for bidding were concluded by 19 December 2024, and the contract period was intended for a duration of 660 days.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in large-scale residential construction and urban development. Companies with experience in building developments in urban locations with tight access constraints and those capable of managing adjacent owner-occupiers and residents effectively can find growth opportunities by engaging with such projects. The requirement for technical expertise further suggests that businesses providing high-quality construction services and innovative project management solutions are well-suited to compete in this tender. By securing subcontracts or partnerships with the awarded contractor, smaller companies can leverage this development to foster business expansion and gain valuable experience in public-sector-led construction projects.
