Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council procured road construction works for the B999/Shielhill Road junction improvement project in Aberdeen. The scheme realigns more than 300 metres of the B999 to ease a tight bend, reconfigures the junction and extends a culvert beside the Burn of Mundurno to accommodate the changed carriageway. It also widens B999 verges to improve visibility. On Shielhill Road, the works remove a section of dry-stone wall, widen the northern verge and regrade slopes around the double bend to improve visibility. Additional signing is included at the A92 Murcar Roundabout. The work is a single, integrated road improvement package for the council, combining carriageway realignment, junction and culvert construction, visibility works and road signing.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hunter Construction (Aberdeen) Limited. Aberdeen City Council used an open procedure for one lot. The contract was signed on 7 September 2026 and is active; the stated contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 3 May 2027. The contract value is £1,478,727.82. Four bids were received, including three from small or medium-sized enterprises. Bidders were assessed against suitability criteria set out in the procurement’s SPD instructions and supporting information. The tender required bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, and bids had to remain valid until 7 December 2026. The submitted bids were in English, and variants were not allowed.

This award shows demand from Aberdeen City Council for an integrated roadworks contractor able to deliver highway realignment and junction reconstruction alongside culvert works, verge widening and visibility improvements. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the capacity to coordinate these elements on a live road project, interpret engineering drawings and specifications, and manage ground and topographical information relevant to the site. The requirement to identify the staff assigned to delivery and provide their qualifications makes a suitably skilled project team important. The procurement attracted four bidders, three of them SMEs, indicating that the package was within reach of smaller firms as well as larger contractors. Suppliers with road construction experience and the resources to manage a multi-element scheme in Aberdeen are best placed to compete when comparable council requirements return to market.
