The work falls within the construction and civil engineering field and is intended to investigate ground conditions associated with the corridor improvement project. The scope is described as ground investigation for the project, delivered in Aberdeen. This is a single planned lot covering the investigation activities. The classification points to site preparation and excavation-related work, geological investigation and ground investigation services. Businesses involved in geotechnical surveying, site investigation, subsurface assessment and related civil engineering support should consider this procurement relevant when assessing their future pipeline. The council is the buying organisation and also acts as a central purchasing body. This procurement is at the planning stage: Aberdeen City Council has stated an intention to procure the ground investigation works, rather than inviting tenders at this stage. The expected procurement category is works. The buyer expects the next notice to be published on 25 September 2026. The planned process concerns one lot for ground investigation for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project. The available procurement information identifies the work and its location, but does not set out a contract value, budget, contract duration, tender deadline, procedure, submission route or evaluation criteria. Suppliers should therefore treat the date as an indicative future notice date and use the eventual competition notice to confirm the commercial and procedural requirements before preparing a bid. The work is likely to suit specialist ground investigation and geotechnical contractors able to plan and carry out investigations supporting a major urban corridor improvement project. Relevant businesses may include firms with experience of site investigation, geological assessment, subsurface surveying, excavation-related investigation and the reporting needed to inform civil engineering design and construction. Civil engineering consultancies with in-house or partnered ground investigation capability may also be well placed to prepare. At this planning stage, suppliers can assess their Aberdeen delivery capacity, available investigation teams, equipment and technical expertise, and consider suitable delivery partners. The council has identified ground investigation as the requirement, so businesses whose core services focus on general construction without geotechnical or site-investigation capability are less closely aligned. ## Notice Ground Investigation for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project ### Lot Information Lot 1 Ground Investigation for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG563131 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Aberdeen City Council | | Locality | ABERDEEN | | Postcode area | Aberdeen | | Postcode | AB16 5GB | | 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 | TLM50 Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 45111250 - Ground investigation work - 71351500 - Ground investigation services - 71510000 - Site-investigation services ## Release History - 26 Aug 2026 at 01:00 - Planning - PCS Notice - Website Prior Information Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG563131 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG563131 Berryden Corridor Improvement Project - Ground Investigation - Ground Investigation for the Berryden Corridor Improvement Project ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000826178 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=826178 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
