Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc procured construction work for the Western Isles under “CO Construction – Lot 3 ECI Works”. The requirement covered early contractor involvement works, early site establishment, surveys and investigation works for the LT14 Western Isles project. It falls within the construction sector and concerns preparatory and investigative activity associated with a transmission infrastructure project. Delivery was in the Western Isles area of Scotland. The buyer is Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc, based in Perth. The requirement was organised as a single lot and focused on construction-related services before or at the early stage of site development, rather than on a completed construction asset or routine facilities service.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used a limited procedure with an award without prior publication of a competition, through an existing regulated framework permitting direct award. The stated rationale was that the selected supplier was appointed through that framework. The procurement was recorded as complete, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026. The award relates to the Western Isles ECI works, while the lot record is marked cancelled. The published outcome does not state an award value, contract value, contract period, named supplier, or award date. Evaluation was therefore conducted through the framework and direct-award route rather than a published competitive tender.

This procurement indicates demand from Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission plc for construction specialists able to support transmission infrastructure at the earliest project stages. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to deliver early contractor involvement, establish sites, carry out surveys and undertake investigation works in the Western Isles. Relevant capability is likely to include practical construction planning, site mobilisation, ground or site investigation and the coordination of technical survey activity, although the published requirement does not identify particular accreditations or experience thresholds. The route used here also shows the importance of access to, and compliance with, a regulated framework that permits direct awards. Suppliers targeting this buyer should therefore combine early-stage construction capability with framework participation and the capacity to work in remote Scottish locations.
