Summary of the contracting process

Shetland Islands Council is seeking a works contractor for the Pitt Lane Demolitions project in Lerwick, Shetland. The requirement covers demolition of two two-storey blocks of flats, land reinstatement and replacement of an existing retaining wall. The buildings have rendered cavity concrete blockwork external walls, timber truss roofs and asbestos cement slates. The site is in Lerwick town centre within the Lerwick Lanes Conservation Area, so the works involve a built-up and environmentally sensitive setting. Delivery is in Lerwick, Shetland Islands, with work elsewhere if required by the Council. The procurement is for a single works requirement, covering demolition and associated civil and structural works rather than a supply-only contract.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The deadline set for tenders is 19 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, followed by bid opening at 12:30 UTC and the stated award period beginning at 12:30 UTC the same day. The contract duration is 60 days. Bids must be submitted in English and variants are not allowed. The tender requires a completed and satisfactory Scottish Single Procurement Document. Economic selection requires recent financial evidence, support for an annual contract value of at least £180,000, or qualifying turnover of at least £108,000, plus employers’ liability insurance of £10,000,000 and public liability insurance of £5,000,000. Technical selection requires one similar project example.

This opportunity suits demolition and general building contractors able to manage a short, concentrated works contract in an occupied town-centre context. Relevant capability includes safely demolishing two-storey masonry buildings, managing asbestos-containing roofing materials, removing and reinstating land, and constructing or replacing retaining walls. Contractors should be experienced in conservation areas or heavily constrained sites, particularly where access is difficult and neighbouring properties require safeguarding. The requirement is well suited to firms with established site-management, temporary works, structural and groundworks capability, and the capacity to coordinate surveys, drawings, utilities and pre-construction information. Tenderers will need robust financial standing, substantial employers’ and public liability insurance, and a demonstrable previous project of a similar nature.
