Tayside Contracts is a shared service owned by Angus Council, Dundee City Council and Perth & Kinross Council.  

We are the largest civil engineering construction organisation in Tayside - carrying out £42 million of road repairs, maintenance and construction, winter maintenance, and street lighting improvements each year.  

  • We are also Tayside’s largest catering organisation – serving over 6.5 million meals every year to schools and community customers – that’s 30,000 meals each day.

If you are a charity or a constituted community group, and you think we could provide a service to you, then you may want to consider our Community Fund. We do the work for you, and the Community Fund picks up the cost up to the maximum of £3,000.
