Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Highlands and Islands Enterprise, which is overseeing the design and build of the Life Sciences Innovation Centre located at Inverness Campus. This project falls under the construction works category and was initiated as a tendering process, completed with the active status of the contract awarded to Robertson Construction Northern Ltd for a value of £9,047,037. The contract was signed on 22nd June 2021, with the expectation of project completion no later than June 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses in the construction and design sectors. Companies that excel in managing design teams and sub-contractors, ensuring timely project delivery and adherence to budget constraints, would be well-positioned to compete. The use of a Project Bank Account for payments may also lead to enhanced cash flow management, which is beneficial for contractors and their supply chains. Furthermore, as the project prioritises community benefits and sustainability, firms with a focus on these areas may find a competitive advantage.
