Aberdeen City Council intends to issue an ITT up to a maximum of SIX bidders.
Bidders should note that the estimated value below consists of the provisional budget allocated within the capital plan for all contractors.

The non-binding target is that each framework contractor would receive approximately GBP3-5Million of work turnover per year.
