## Summary

Aberdeen City Council procured works to demolish buildings at Balnagask in Aberdeen. The requirement covered the demolition of buildings and associated site activity, including maintaining site security while the works and scope were being resolved. The work falls within the construction and demolition sector, with the procurement classification covering demolition and wrecking of buildings. Aberdeen City Council was the buying organisation and Aberdeen was the delivery location. The requirement was linked to housing and community amenities. It involved one lot covering demolition of buildings. This is a specialist demolition opportunity for contractors able to undertake building demolition and manage a secure site in an urban setting while works progress.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Aberdeen City Council used a limited procedure without publishing a prior call for competition, making a direct award on grounds of extreme urgency. The stated reason was ongoing vandalism and theft at vacant properties, requiring a continuous 24-hour security presence and avoiding remobilisation between security and demolition contractors. Dem-Master Demolition Limted was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and is valued at £9,590,735.80. One bid was recorded, submitted electronically. The award route was therefore a direct, urgent appointment rather than an openly competed tender, with the contract outcome based on the buyer’s immediate operational need.

This award indicates substantial demand from Aberdeen City Council for major building demolition delivered under urgent site conditions. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in demolition of buildings, safe mobilisation and controlled delivery on sites affected by vacancy, vandalism or theft. The requirement also demonstrates the value of maintaining continuity between security arrangements and the start of physical works, without unnecessary contractor remobilisation. Suppliers with their own site-management capacity, strong health and safety controls and the ability to coordinate closely with security providers would be well placed. The successful supplier was classified as an SME, showing that the work was not limited to a large corporate contractor and may suit an experienced specialist demolition business with sufficient delivery capacity.

### Procurement Information

The decision to utilise a direct award was in response to ongoing issues at the site - with some properties already vacant and subject to repeated vandalism and theft. ACC were able to engage Dem Master to secure the site with a 24-hour security presence while ongoing discussions were held on the works and scope. This also ensured a continuous presence between security mobilisation and the commencement of the works without any need for remobilisation between contractors.
