The service intentions align with the Scottish Government's 'Single Building Assessment Specification Document' from June 2024. The procurement falls under the services category, with a focus on both housing and community amenities, and recreation, culture, and religion. The tender, located in Aberdeen City, UKM50 region, was originally announced on 15th September 2025, with a submission deadline on 24th October 2025. However, as of 24th September 2025, the tender process was discontinued, signalling a change in procurement status. This tender represented a significant business opportunity for organisations specialising in building assessments, fire safety, and associated consultancy services. The work involved adherence to critical fire safety guidelines, offering substantial engagement for firms competent in offering comprehensive risk assessments and safety strategy reports. Although the procurement was discontinued, businesses in the fields of architecture, engineering, fire safety consulting, and other construction services, especially those with experience handling high-rise building evaluations, would have been ideal candidates to bid. Future opportunities could still arise once the council re-assesses their needs, providing a renewed chance for businesses in this sector to engage with local government projects and expand their market presence. ## Notice Aberdeen City Council intends to employ an organisation to undertake Single Building Assessment of 22 over-clad, high-rise blocks in Aberdeen. These assessments are to conform to the requirements of the Scottish Government's ''Single Building Assessment Specification Document'', June 2024.
