## Summary

Aberdeen City Council has awarded a contract for the "Balnagask Motte - Reinstatement of Historical Asset" project, now at the award stage in the procurement process. This contract involves structural remedial works, including earthworks, wall height reduction, and erection of a new blockwork retaining wall, aimed at restoring the historical site's integrity in Aberdeen, specifically in the region UKM50. The project was procured through an open procedure, and the contract was signed on 21 August 2025, for a total value of £196,947.78. The industry category is works, falling under the CPV code 45210000. The main buyer is Aberdeen City Council, located at Woodhill House, Westburn Road, Aberdeen.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for construction and engineering firms, particularly those with expertise in heritage and structural remediation, to expand their influence within the public sector and heritage conservation. Businesses capable of handling complex structural projects and familiar with public contract procedures in the UK are well-suited to compete. As the contract was successfully awarded to Hunter Construction (Aberdeen) Limited, a local SME, this showcases the opportunities that smaller, regional enterprises have in securing public contracts and contributing to local economic growth and development.
