Summary of the contracting process

Albyn Housing Society Limited commissioned building conversion works at the former nurses’ accommodation at 1 Broom Court, Ullapool. The project retained the existing structure and converted the building into four flats, with associated external works. This is a residential refurbishment and conversion project, rather than a new-build housing scheme. The work was located in Ullapool and included structural, building-services and fire-safety elements reflected in the project specifications, including fire-sprinkler systems. The buyer is a registered social landlord based in Invergordon. The requirement is relevant to building contractors experienced in adapting existing buildings for residential use and coordinating the associated trades and external works.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Morrison Construction, with the contract recorded as active. The award followed an open, single-stage procedure and covered one lot. The tender closed on 30 June 2025; the award period began that day, and the contract was signed on 27 October 2025. The contract value is £536,794.33, against an estimated tender value of £720,000. The lot contract period was 270 days. Five bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation covered cost and quality. Suitability, economic and technical selection criteria were set out in the procurement module, and bidders had to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Variant bids were not allowed; bids had to remain valid for 90 days.

This award demonstrates demand from Albyn Housing Society for small-scale housing conversion that makes use of an existing building rather than replacing it. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver a complete refurbishment and conversion, preserve and work with the existing structure, and manage external works alongside internal construction. The specifications indicate that coordination of structural work, building services, insulation and fire protection is relevant, including residential sprinkler installation. The requirement also called for named project staff and their qualifications, so suppliers should be able to show an appropriately skilled delivery team and sound technical and financial suitability. Five small and medium-sized enterprises competed, showing that the work attracted firms of this scale; the award provides a benchmark for contractors serving social landlords in the Highlands.
