Glasgow City Council will be seeking main contractors that can deliver all elements required for the construction, repair and maintenance of public realm schemes, including:

A framework for the procurement process will be developed, with a projected award of suppliers to this framework around the end of 2018. Further opportunities for specific contract awards will begin in early 2019, continuing for a four-year period thereafter.

Both the establishment of the framework and further mini-competitions off this framework will be conducted via the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

Councillor Susan Aitken, leader of Glasgow City Council and chair of the Glasgow City Region city cabinet, said: “These contracts are for work that will transform areas in Glasgow, and will bring economic, environmental and social benefits for the city. I would encourage businesses and organisations - including local ones - of any size who feel they could deliver this work to make their interest known.”

Further information on these public realm infrastructure contracts can be found here.

As part of the procurement process, organisations interested in bidding for a contract will be asked to participate in a market engagement questionnaire that will inform the development of the procurement framework for these works.

Details of upcoming City Deal contracts, values and anticipated timescales are available to view on the Procurement area of the Glasgow City Region City Deal website. These may be subject to change and will continue to be updated.
