Summary of the contracting process

Energy Transition Zone Limited commissioned site infrastructure works for the ETZ Hydrogen Campus in Aberdeen. The requirement was for a suitably qualified main civil engineering contractor to deliver site-wide enabling infrastructure. This includes cut-and-fill earthworks to create platformed sites for future development, installation of core utility services, drainage, and associated primary access roads serving the proposed development plots. The procurement is classified as civil engineering and site preparation works (CPV 45111200). The buyer is a not-for-profit organisation focused on energy transition and acts as a central purchasing body. Delivery is centred on the Hydrogen Campus in Aberdeen, with the works supporting future development of the campus.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a single lot using an open procedure. The contract was awarded to CHAP Group (Aberdeen) Ltd, and the contract is active. The contract value is £4,083,867. The award period began on 17 November 2025, with bids opened at 13:00 that day; the contract was signed on 26 February 2026. The contract period is 360 days. Two bids were received, both from SMEs and submitted electronically. Evaluation placed 80% weighting on price and 20% on relevant experience. Variants were not allowed, bids had to be in English, and bid validity was 90 days. Electronic payment and ordering apply, with electronic invoicing allowed.

This award demonstrates demand from Energy Transition Zone Limited for substantial civil engineering delivery supporting an energy-transition development campus. Suppliers suited to a future requirement of this type would need to act as a main civil engineering contractor, with practical capability in bulk cut-and-fill earthworks, site formation and platform construction. They would also need experience installing core services and drainage, and constructing primary access roads and enabling infrastructure across a development site. Relevant project experience is an explicit evaluation consideration, so firms should be able to evidence comparable completed work, dependable site management and the capacity to coordinate several infrastructure disciplines. The participation of SME bidders indicates that established specialist or regional contractors may be credible competitors.
