Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council has concluded the tender process for the construction of a new housing development in Aviemore, located on the former primary school site. The contract, identified as DIHD21028, was awarded on 17th September 2025 to TSL Contractors Limited, an SME based in Oban. This procurement process, executed using the open procedure, is part of a larger effort to enhance general public services within the region, offering a total contract value of approximately £3.74 million. Covering works in the construction industry, this initiative aims to build 12 housing units along with necessary drainage and site works. Although the tendering period has been completed, the project remains in the active contract phase, indicating ongoing developments and opportunities for further engagement with local suppliers and sub-contractors.

This housing development project presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and civil engineering sectors. SMEs, particularly those with experience in residential construction and infrastructural services, stand to benefit from engaging with this project, either directly or through sub-contracting opportunities advised in the tender documents. The initiative may offer additional community benefits as per the Scottish Government’s procurement policies, providing a chance for local businesses to contribute to regional development and sustainability goals. Companies specialising in electronic submissions are also likely to find opportunities given the emphasis on online engagement methods. Businesses capable of offering skilled staff and technical expertise will be well-suited to compete and potentially collaborate within this regional project framework.
