Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council procured a multi-supplier design-and-build framework for upgrading the interiors of houses and flatted properties across Aberdeen City. The work covers kitchen and bathroom renewals, electrical installations, joinery, partitions, floor coverings and decoration, together with associated making good. It combines design and construction work, with individual projects commissioned through call-offs from the framework. The requirement is part of the Council’s housing capital programme and focuses on improving and renewing existing homes rather than building new properties. Contractors are also expected to meet the Council’s performance targets and community-benefit expectations. The framework was set up for several suppliers, with the Council expecting work to be shared among framework contractors and its own in-house resources.

The procurement has been awarded and the contracts are active. Mears Limited and Space Solutions (Scotland) Limited were selected for the single framework lot. Each has an active contract recorded at £38,012,847.73; these are separate contract values and should not be treated as a combined total. Both contracts were signed on 8 October 2026. The framework has an initial two-year period, with two optional one-year extensions, and allows multiple call-off projects. The process used a restricted procedure, with bidders assessed first on suitability and shortlisted for the next stage. The final evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%. Four bids were received. The tender’s stated provisional budget was £30 million for all contractors; the awarded contract values are reported separately above.

This award shows demand for contractors able to deliver coordinated internal refurbishment across a local-authority housing stock, including kitchens, bathrooms, electrical work, joinery, partitions, flooring, decoration and making good. A credible competitor would need to combine design capability with reliable construction delivery across occupied houses and flatted properties, and demonstrate the capacity to manage multiple call-off projects and changing priorities. The framework was designed to share work among up to three contractors, so bidders need a delivery model that can operate within a multi-supplier arrangement rather than relying on a single large project. The Council also expects contractors to meet performance indicators and community-benefit commitments. Quality carried more weight than price in the final evaluation, making demonstrable technical quality, dependable delivery and clear community-benefit plans important to competitiveness.

This involves work to renew and upgrade elements such as kitchens, bathrooms, electrical installations, joinery, partitions, floors coverings, decoration, and all associated making good.
