Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council procured construction works for waste-bin enclosures at seven council car parks in the Highlands. The enclosures are intended to make waste facilities more visible and protect them from the weather, particularly at exposed tourist locations. Each enclosure houses either one or two standard 1,100-litre industrial bins. The work covers preparing and levelling sites, sourcing materials and constructing the enclosures. Sites are Inverness Torvean, Ullapool Latheron Lane, Gairloch Harbour, Golspie Beach, Wick Riverside, Kylesku Bridge and Dunnet Seadrift. The lots required three bins at Inverness Torvean and Ullapool Latheron Lane, and two bins at each of the other five sites. This is a construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45000000.

The procurement is complete and all seven lots were awarded to GMR Henderson Builders Ltd. The Council used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English; variants were not allowed and suppliers could bid for any number of lots. Four bids were received for each lot, all from SMEs. The tender deadline was 1 September 2025 at 12:00, followed by bid opening on 3 September 2025 at 12:00. Each lot had a stated contract duration of two days. The resulting contract for each lot is active, valued at GBP 44,588, and signed on 5 May 2026. The seven contracts are: Inverness Torvean, Ullapool Latheron Lane, Gairloch Harbour, Golspie Beach, Wick Riverside, Kylesku Bridge and Dunnet Seadrift.

This award demonstrates established demand from The Highland Council for small, site-based construction packages combining ground preparation, materials procurement and practical enclosure building. A credible future supplier would need to deliver durable outdoor structures for exposed public locations, work around existing car-park operations and accommodate single and double 1,100-litre bins. The requirement suits construction SMEs able to mobilise across dispersed Highland sites, manage several similar locations and complete short-duration works efficiently. Experience coordinating materials, levelling sites and installing robust waste infrastructure would strengthen a competing offer. The four bids received for every lot, all from SMEs, show that the opportunity attracted specialist smaller contractors and that competition is likely to include businesses with focused regional delivery capacity.
