UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Lighthouse Board, a central government public authority in the UK, has completed the procurement process for the replacement of a fence at the Kinnaird Head Lighthouse in Scotland. This contract was awarded to Trac HLM Ltd, with the project involving the demolition of an old fence and the installation of a new GRP Palisade fence and gate, including minor ground improvements. The procurement, conducted without competition as it fell below the threshold, was completed under the "works" category. The contract commenced on 2nd March 2026 and is set to conclude by 3rd April 2026, with a total gross value of £52,134.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in fencing, railing, and safety equipment installation work to expand their portfolio by aligning with public authorities such as the Northern Lighthouse Board. It is particularly suitable for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in manual excavation work, given the requirements due to existing electrical ducting and aerial earth mat cables. Businesses providing such services and looking to establish or strengthen their presence in the Scottish market could potentially benefit from contracts of a similar nature in the future.
