The procurement process is being managed by Aberdeen City Council for the project titled "Design and Build contractor for Heat Network, Torry, Aberdeen."

The contract was initiated under the selective procurement method, specifically a competitive procedure with negotiation. Key dates include the completion of the tender period on 14th December 2020, although the tender has since been cancelled.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for contractors specialising in construction and energy infrastructure, particularly those with experience in district heating systems.
