## Summary

The Aberdeen City Council has completed the procurement process for the supply of natural stone materials for the Schoolhill Streetscape Project, located in Aberdeen. The project falls under the category of general public services, with a focus on enhancing public space in an area of historical significance. The procurement method was limited, allowing for an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the specific conservation requirements dictated by the site’s heritage. The contract was signed on December 21, 2018, with a total value of £209,924.95.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of natural stone products, particularly those with experience in heritage conservation. Companies that can provide materials from specific geographical sources or have the capability to procure historically sympathetic products would be particularly well-placed to compete. The completed project not only aims to enhance accessibility and usability in a key urban area but also supports firms engaged in local sourcing and sustainable practices.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Schoolhill Streetscape project is to take place in Aberdeen on the westmost area of Schoolhill between its junction with Blackfriars Street and the access to Robert Gordon's College quadrangle. The site is within the Union Street Conservation Area and surrounded by buildings listed by Historic Environment Scotland for their social history and architectural quality. The Aberdeen Art Gallery bounds the project area to the north and is currently undergoing an extensive extension and refurbishment programme, which when complete will encourage wider public usage of the areas as residents and visitors are attracted to a world class arts destination and one of the most important amenities in the city. Through a reduction in carriageway width, the removal of the current step & ramp arrangement and the creation of a new plaza area, graded over the width of the extended footway, the project will provide an improved public space allowing for the flexible use of the space without impediment. Due to the conservation status of the adjoining Aberdeen Art Gallery and the Aberdeen War Memorial the selection of materials for the streetscape project has been progressed with regard to the historical nature of the site, the materials utilised in the original construction and the likely requirements of the Planning Authority . This has resulted in a requirement to utilize natural stone products which are from the same source as the original building materials and others which are sympathetic to the built heritage. As such, these materials will not be permitted to be substituted with alternatives from other sources in any future procurement. The project includes extended footways and a new plaza area providing access to doors serving the main entrance & cafe area of the Art Gallery and access to the Cowdray Hall. The proposals will significantly enhance the setting and pedestrian usability of this part of Schoolhill. The proposals require: - New Aberdeenshire Corrennie pink granite steps; - New Aberdeenshire Blackhills grey granite slabs and setts - New Scottish whinstone slabs ; - New Spanish Mondariz granite slabs and - Reworking of client supplied Kemnay grey granite masonry to form plain slabs and setts

Options: The initial cost is 188,495.95 GBP there is also an option for: The repurposing of client supplied building stone to create paving materials. Value : 21,429.00 GBP
