Summary of the contracting process

Albyn Housing Society Limited commissioned the construction of 16 dwellings on Seaforth Road, Tain, IV19 1DS, together with associated infrastructure. This is a building and civil engineering works requirement, classified under CPV 45000000. The buyer is a registered social landlord and central purchasing body based in Invergordon. The project covers a single residential development site in Tain and involves delivery of the homes and supporting infrastructure as one requirement. The procurement material includes preliminaries, architectural, civil engineering and structural engineering information, a schedule of works, ground investigation and site survey information, road construction and landscaping drawings, and CAD files. It is therefore relevant to contractors able to deliver a complete housing construction project and coordinate the associated site works and specialist information.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a single-stage open procedure. One lot covered the full requirement. Bids were due by 10 October 2025 at 12:00, with opening at 12:30 the same day. Evaluation weighted quality at 70% and price at 30%; variants were not allowed. The estimated lot value was £4,200,000. Three electronic bids were received, all from SMEs. The contract was awarded to Compass Building & Construction Services and signed on 2 April 2026. The active contract value is £4,273,174.13, with a planned duration of 360 days. The process required English-language submissions, bids valid for 90 days, electronic payment and allowed electronic invoicing. Selection covered suitability, economic and technical criteria through the SPD.

This award demonstrates demand from a Scottish registered social landlord for a substantial, single-site residential construction project combining new homes with infrastructure works. A credible future competitor would need the capacity to manage a complete housing build, including preliminaries, ground conditions, roads, landscaping and coordination of architectural, civil and structural engineering information. The requirement also points to the importance of presenting strong quality evidence, not simply a competitive price, because quality carried the greater evaluation weighting. Suppliers should be able to provide named staff and professional qualifications, and demonstrate suitability, economic standing and technical ability through the standard selection process. The field attracted three SME bids, indicating that capable regional construction businesses can compete for work of this scale.
