Ogilvie Construction has secured a £45.2m contract to deliver a major social housing development in Aberdeen.
Stirling-based Ogilvie was appointed last month through a restricted procurement process and will act as principal contractor on the two-year Kincorth New Build Housing Project, due to begin in the third quarter of 2024.
The scheme will deliver around 195 homes for social rent, according to a contract notice this morning (30 May) from Aberdeen City Council.
The homes will comprise a mix of houses and flatted units, along with new streets, parking areas and green spaces.
All buildings must comply with the Gold Technical Standard and statutory regulations, as well as Aberdeen City Council’s high-level design requirements.
Ogilvie will also assume responsibility for any works already carried out on the site, the council said.
It intends to novate the design team to Ogilvie, under the terms of an SBCC Design and Build contract (2016 edition) set at a fixed lump sum.
Further contract details are expected to be confirmed during the invitation to tender stage.
The project forms part of the council’s wider social housing programme, which aims to improve the quality and sustainability of the city’s rental stock.
Three tenders were received for the job, including bids from three non-EU contractors, all submitted electronically.
