## Summary

The Aberdeen City Council is seeking suppliers for its "External & Communal Pre Construction Services and Works to Houses Framework", an open procurement process aimed at improving and maintaining low and high-rise properties in Aberdeen City within the construction industry category. This procurement is divided into three Lots, with each Lot focusing on different types of construction work, such as external repairs and installations, insulation work, and communal upgrades. The procurement process remains active, promising a potential spend of up to GBP 20 million over 720 days with possible extensions. Interested businesses must submit their bids electronically through the Public Contracts Scotland portal by the deadline on 28 November 2025.

This framework tender creates substantial opportunities for construction businesses looking to expand their footprint in the Scottish market, particularly for those specialising in building repairs, insulation services, and communal facility upgrades. With each Lot expected to generate a significant annual turnover for successful contractors, businesses adept in quality workmanship and competitive pricing will find this procurement process particularly attractive. Additionally, meeting the council’s performance indicators and contributing community benefits are crucial, allowing companies with strong corporate social responsibility credentials to stand in good stead for selection. Businesses in masonry, roofing, insulation, and electrical installation work, among others, are well-positioned to benefit from participation in this framework.
