Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council is procuring works to demolish Gartly Primary School and prepare and remediate the site for potential future development. The requirement covers the school building and the associated site preparation and remediation activities needed after demolition. The work is located in Gartly, Aberdeenshire. It is a construction and demolition opportunity, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work, with the more specific activity classified under CPV 45110000 for building demolition and wrecking work. The council is the public-sector buyer. Suppliers should consider the complete requirement as a single package of demolition, site preparation and remediation works rather than a supply-only opportunity.

The buyer reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically in English, with the deadline set for 16 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. Bid opening was scheduled for 16 September 2026 at 12:30 UTC, and the evaluation and award period began at that time. The contract period is 60 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. The requirement is one lot, with variants not allowed and no renewal or additional-purchase option. It is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The procurement uses the standard open route for competitive offers.

This opportunity suits demolition contractors and principal contractors with the practical capability to dismantle and remove a school building, manage a construction site and carry out associated groundworks, site preparation and remediation. It is relevant to firms able to deliver the full sequence of works as one package, including making the site suitable for potential future development. The short contract duration favours suppliers with available delivery teams, plant, competent site management and the capacity to mobilise and complete the works within the required programme. Contractors with experience of demolishing public, educational or other occupied-site buildings, and of managing environmental, waste and ground-condition risks, are likely to be well placed to compete.
