Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is planning ground investigation works for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project in Aberdeen. The work falls within the construction and civil engineering field and is intended to investigate ground conditions associated with the corridor improvement project. The scope is described as ground investigation for the project, delivered in Aberdeen. This is a single planned lot covering the investigation activities. The classification points to site preparation and excavation-related work, geological investigation and ground investigation services. Businesses involved in geotechnical surveying, site investigation, subsurface assessment and related civil engineering support should consider this procurement relevant when assessing their future pipeline. The council is the buying organisation and also acts as a central purchasing body.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Aberdeen City Council has stated an intention to procure the ground investigation works, rather than inviting tenders at this stage. The expected procurement category is works. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 25 September 2026. The planned process concerns one lot for ground investigation for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project. The available procurement information identifies the work and its location, but does not set out a contract value, budget, contract duration, tender deadline, procedure, submission route or evaluation criteria. Suppliers should therefore treat the date as an indicative future notice date and use the eventual competition notice to confirm the commercial and procedural requirements before preparing a bid.

The work is likely to suit specialist ground investigation and geotechnical contractors able to plan and carry out investigations supporting a major urban corridor improvement project. Relevant businesses may include firms with experience of site investigation, geological assessment, subsurface surveying, excavation-related investigation and the reporting needed to inform civil engineering design and construction. Civil engineering consultancies with in-house or partnered ground investigation capability may also be well placed to prepare. At this planning stage, suppliers can assess their Aberdeen delivery capacity, available investigation teams, equipment and technical expertise, and consider suitable delivery partners. The council has identified ground investigation as the requirement, so businesses whose core services focus on general construction without geotechnical or site-investigation capability are less closely aligned.
