Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council commissioned construction work to extend Fetteresso Cemetery in Stonehaven. The project covers a gravel car park built with plastic grid reinforcement pavers, a country-style footpath, regrading and fencing. It also includes rolling reinforcement pavers into established grass areas. Work must be completed in sections so the grass can establish before the pavers are rolled in. This is a civil engineering and landscaping project, covering car park and footpath construction (CPV 45432112). The delivery site is Fetteresso Cemetery, Stonehaven. The buyer is Aberdeenshire Council, with its Roads & Infrastructure service involved in the project.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Southworth Contractors. The council used an open procedure. The competition closed on 10 July 2026, and the award was made on 10 July 2026. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and is active. Its value is £136,800. The stated contract period runs from 17 August to 23 October 2026; the lot description separately refers to 16 October 2026 as the completion date for the whole works. There was one lot. Four bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Selection required Highways Authorities and Utilities Committee supervisor and operative cards. Variants were not allowed; bids had to be in English and remain valid until 6 November 2026.

This award shows demand from Aberdeenshire Council for small-scale cemetery access and groundworks: car park and footpath construction, regrading, fencing and reinforced grass surfaces. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability across these elements and the ability to manage phased delivery, allowing newly laid grass to establish before reinforcement pavers are rolled into place. The stated selection requirement was possession of Highways Authorities and Utilities Committee supervisor and operative cards, so firms should have appropriately carded site staff. The competition attracted four bids, all from SMEs, indicating that this scale of civil engineering and landscaping work can draw bids from smaller suppliers. Relevant contractors would be those able to coordinate construction sequencing and deliver the combined site works at a cemetery in Stonehaven.
