Summary of the contracting process

Albyn Housing Society Limited commissioned a full construction contract for a new 36-home housing development at Dalmore, Alness, between Hugh Mackenzie Avenue and David Ross Street. The work includes associated roads and footpaths, drainage and external services. The construction scope also covers building work, timber kit and joinery, external lining and roughcast, roofing, floor coverings, painting, plumbing, electrical and heating work, fire suppression, site and plot works. This is a housing construction project for a social landlord, suited to contractors able to coordinate the build and its supporting infrastructure at one site. The procurement was classified as building construction (CPV 45211000).

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Capstone Construction Scotland Ltd. There was one lot covering the full construction contract. The signed contract is active and is valued at £8,007,920.88; it was signed on 19 December 2025. The planned contract duration was 540 days. Albyn Housing Society used an open procedure. Bids were evaluated on price and quality, with the published criteria assigning 60 to price and 10 to programme. Seven bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. The original submission deadline of 23 April 2025 was extended by four weeks, to 21 May 2025, to give tenderers more time to prepare bids. The evaluation also considered suitability, economic standing and technical capability.

This award shows demand from Albyn Housing Society for a sizeable, coordinated housing build in Alness, encompassing new homes alongside roads, footpaths, drainage and external services. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the capacity to deliver a full construction contract and manage multiple building and external works packages, including joinery, building fabric, roofing, plumbing, electrical, heating and site drainage. Programme delivery matters alongside price: the published evaluation gave weight to both, with price carrying the larger stated score. The selection process also considered supplier suitability, economic standing and technical capability, and required bidders to identify the staff assigned to the work and their qualifications. Seven bids were received for this project, all from SMEs, showing that smaller and medium-sized contractors competed for the full contract.
