## Summary

The procurement process involves Aberdeen City Council seeking a Design and Build contractor for the Torry Heat Network project in Aberdeen, classified under district-heating mains construction work. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically via a competitive procedure with negotiation. Although initially aimed for delivery, the status of the tender is now cancelled, and the request was made on 8 March 2021. Key drivers for the project include alleviating fuel poverty and delivering significant carbon savings, crucial in the context of Scottish and UK government targets.

This tender, focused on a new district heating network, presents opportunities for construction and engineering firms specialising in district heating systems and sustainable energy solutions. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in innovative heating solutions and compliance with environmental standards would be well-positioned to compete. The initial contract was split into stages, indicating potential for extended collaborations in future phases, which can foster long-term business growth in the sector.
