The Highland Council has recently completed a procurement process for the replacement of up to 35 bus shelters across the Highland region, with the project titled "Bus Shelter Replacement - Highlands (Works)." This procurement falls under the industry category of general public services, specifically within the works sector. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing for broad participation. The contract, valued at £171,000, was awarded to Trueform on 6th October 2025. The main goal of this tender was to enhance public transportation infrastructure, and the procurement process is currently in the award and contract stage.
