Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is procuring building-services works to replace cold water storage tanks and associated tank pipework in Aberdeen City. The requirement covers supply, installation, testing and commissioning, including tank automatic controls, control wiring, electrical power supplies, supports, thermal insulation and metal cladding. Existing cold water booster pumps are to be reused. The contractor must clean and sterilise the tanks and pipework after installation and before handover to the council. This is a works contract for a single package, classified under CPV 45350000 for mechanical installations in buildings. It is suited to contractors able to deliver coordinated plumbing, mechanical, electrical and builders-work activities in occupied or operational buildings, with delivery centred on Aberdeen.

The procurement has reached tender: Aberdeen City Council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender submission deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 11 January 2027 to 2 July 2027. There is one lot, with no options or renewal, and variant bids are not allowed. Bids must be submitted in English and remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. The evaluation includes economic and technical selection criteria and an award questionnaire. The requirement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The tender provides for award decision activity starting on 22 September 2026.

This opportunity suits an established building-services or mechanical contractor with the capability to manage tank replacement from supply through commissioning and handover. Relevant delivery experience would include cold water storage systems, associated pipework, booster-pump interfaces, automatic controls, electrical connections, tank supports, insulation, metal cladding, cleaning and sterilisation. The work calls for coordinated site delivery across mechanical, electrical and builders-work disciplines, together with testing and commissioning capability. The successful contractor must support community-benefit commitments, including taking reasonable steps to employ apprentices, provide wider skills-training opportunities and make apprenticeship information available to employees. Reporting may cover contract employment, local spend in the AB postcode area, apprenticeships and training, including work placements, graduate placements, vocational training and on-site learning.
