The works cover a section of the route in the Marr area, running from a point near 57°07'09.8"N, 2°39'03.3"W to a point near 57°07'20.9"N, 2°39'53.2"W. This is civil engineering and path construction work, classified under CPV 45233161 for footpath construction. The requirement is organised as one lot and includes a price and quality assessment. The tender materials include design drawings, site information, a scope, a bill of quantities and a pricing schedule, giving construction contractors material to understand and price the works. Community benefits form part of the quality submission. The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were to be submitted electronically, with English accepted as the submission language. The submission deadline and bid opening were set for 13 November 2026 at 13:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 23 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, and bids must remain valid for 30 days after the submission deadline. The single lot is assessed on price and quality; variants are not allowed. The notice does not state the evaluation weighting. The supplier questionnaire includes a business continuity component, and the award questionnaire covers community benefits. The published process does not indicate renewal or additional purchase options. This opportunity is suited to civil engineering and groundworks contractors with the capacity to construct a shared-use path to the design and scope requirements, and to work to a defined bill of quantities and pricing schedule. Suppliers will need to develop a competitive price and a credible quality submission; community benefits are part of that quality response. The inclusion of site information and design drawings makes experience interpreting construction documentation and planning delivery against site conditions relevant. The business continuity questionnaire means bidders should be prepared to address how they would maintain operations if disruption occurs. The contract is a defined, single-phase path project in the Marr area, suited to firms able to resource construction over a short, fixed programme. No specific accreditation or minimum experience threshold is stated in the procurement summary. ## Notice Construction of a shared use footpath / cycle path. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Price and quality assessment for footpath construction works in Marr area. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566639 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Nov 2026 - 31 Mar 2027 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Aberdeenshire 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 ### Codes - 45233161 - Footpath construction work ## Release History - 14 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566639 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566639 Torphins to Lumphanan Path Construction Works - Phase 1 - Construction of a shared use footpath / cycle path. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000845565 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=845565 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
