The procurement process was classified under the services category and involved civil engineering consultancy services. The award was made on 18th March 2025 and the contract is currently active. The process followed a direct procurement method, meaning the contract was awarded to a single supplier without competition. Key locations involved include Aberdeen, where the Council is based, and the bridge itself, located in Aboyne. This tender presents substantial opportunities for engineering firms specialising in structural refurbishments and vehicular access improvements. Businesses with proficiency in civil engineering and bridge design services are well-suited to engage in similar projects with Aberdeenshire Council or other local authorities. Given the emphasis on precise design and engineering consultancy, firms capable of delivering comprehensive technical solutions will find fruitful prospects in such public procurement processes, fostering growth and the potential for future collaborations. ## Notice Detailed design of strengthening and refurbishment works for B968 Aboyne Bridge to reinstate vehicular access up to 18 tonnes. This follows on from the options appraisal report completed in 2024 where Option 2 (limited strengthening and refurbishment without propping) has been promoted as the preferred option. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAR526262 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | The contract is awarded to a single supplier without competition. | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 18 Mar 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 18 Mar 2025 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £125,180 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | ABERDEENSHIRE COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | ABERDEEN CITY COUNCIL; CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL; DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY COUNCIL; FIFE COUNCIL; FOOD STANDARDS SCOTLAND (FSS); FORESTRY AND LAND SCOTLAND; HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS ENTERPRISE; MIDLOTHIAN COUNCIL; NHS HIGHLAND; NHS LANARKSHIRE; PERTH & KINROSS COUNCIL; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT; SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT- SASA; SCOTTISH POLICE AUTHORITY; SOCIAL CARE AND SOCIAL WORK IMPROVEMENT SCOTLAND (CARE INSPECTORATE); THE CITY OF EDINBURGH COUNCIL; THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL | | Locality | DUMFRIES | | Post town | Dumfries and Galloway | | Postcode | DG1 2HP | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM5 North Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | | Local authority | Aberdeen City | | Electoral ward | Midstocket/Rosemount | | Westminster constituency | Aberdeen North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 36 | | Supplier names | A M PHILLIP TRUCKTECH; A MANSON & SONS; AMD CONTRACT SERVICES; BMES (SCOTLAND; CHANGE MENTAL HEALTH; DALES MARINE SERVICES; DO-BE; EJ PARKER TECHNICAL SERVICES (SCOTLAND NORTH; ELEV-8 PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT; ERNST & YOUNG LLP (EY; EVILLE & JONES (COMMERCIAL SERVICES; GROUNDWORK SERVICES DURHAM; HAMILTON BROS.
