Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is actively seeking bidders for a public procurement opportunity titled "Housing Capital Projects 2026-30 - Internal works to Houses." This tender pertains to projects within the housing and community amenities sector, to be executed in Aberdeen City. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with interested parties required to submit their completed Selection Questionnaire Documents (SPD) by the deadline of 26th September 2025 at 12:00 PM. The council aims to issue the Invitation to Tender (ITT) to a maximum of six shortlisted bidders. The procurement method employed is a selective process under the restricted procedure, and the framework is anticipated to run for two years with possible extensions. The project's estimated value is £30 million, with work distributed among multiple suppliers.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the construction and housing refurbishment industry, particularly those experienced in internal works such as kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and electrical installations. Small and medium-sized enterprises with robust design and build capabilities may find this framework particularly advantageous, as three contractors will be selected to fulfil roles over the term with each expected to achieve an annual turnover of approximately £3-5 million. Companies that can meet the council's performance and community benefit criteria would be well-positioned to benefit from this multi-year contract opportunity, enhancing both their portfolio and local presence in the Aberdeen area.

Notice Title

Housing Capital Projects 2026-30 - Internal works to Houses

Notice Description

Multiple Supplier Framework to deliver the design and build aspects of the Internal Works to Houses and flatted properties Framework . This involves work to renew and upgrade elements such as kitchens, bathrooms, electrical installations, joinery, partitions, floors coverings, decoration, and all associated making good. This framework is to have a duration of two years, with the potential for this to be extended by two further periods of one year, during which period a number of call-offs may be initiated. Interested parties are invited to submit completed SPDs that will allow Aberdeen City Council to select bidders to invite to the next stage. These SPD Instructions provide full details of the selection criteria applicable at this stage. Only those bidders who are short-listed as a result of the SPD evaluation process described in these instructions will be issued with an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Aberdeen City Council intends to issue an ITT up to a maximum of SIX bidders. Bidders should note that the estimated value below consists of the provisional budget allocated within the capital plan for all contractors. The actual value per contractor will be expected to be a much smaller proportion following distribution of work amongst an anticipated 3no framework contractors, work carried out by direct in-house resources, contingency allowances, non-access to properties, efficiency savings, and subject to regular reviews and re-allocations of priorities by the Council. The non-binding target is that each framework contractor would receive approximately GBP3-5Million of work turnover per year. The framework contractors will also be required to perform to the council's key performance indicator targets, and community benefits expectations (described elsewhere)
