Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council procured Phase 1 construction works for a footpath between Fraserburgh and Inverallochy, in the Banff and Buchan area of Aberdeenshire. The requirement is classified as construction of roads and related infrastructure (CPV 45233140) and falls within the works category. The council is the buying organisation and the completed work is intended for delivery along this local route. The procurement covered one lot for footpath construction, assessed across the Banff and Buchan area. This is a civil engineering and public realm opportunity suited to contractors able to deliver outdoor access infrastructure and associated construction works for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hunter Construction (Aberdeen) Limited. The contract value is £587,982.60, and it was signed on 10 August 2026. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 January 2027. Aberdeenshire Council used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English. The single lot was evaluated on price and quality; variant bids were not allowed. The bid validity period ran until 30 October 2026. Six electronic bids were recorded for the lot. The tender closed on 31 July 2026, with bid opening recorded at 1pm the same day. The contract is active.

This award demonstrates local authority demand for dedicated footpath construction and related civil engineering in the Banff and Buchan area. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the workforce, plant, site management and construction delivery experience to build public pedestrian infrastructure in an outdoor, local-authority setting. The evaluation shows that both price and quality mattered, so suppliers would need to combine competitive costing with a clear, technically robust delivery approach. The field attracted six bidders, indicating established competition. The successful supplier was a large construction business, suggesting that comparable firms with sufficient operational capacity, financial resilience and experience managing council works would be well placed when similar requirements return.
