Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Airports Limited initiated a procurement process for the provision of Hold Baggage X-ray Equipment to be installed at six airports, including Benbecula, Dundee, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, and Wick. The procurement falls under the goods category and follows an open procedure. The initial tender, active as of 31st December 2025, was later updated, and the deadline extended to 23rd February 2026, following a request for more time from a prospective bidder. The procurement process involved electronic submissions, and a briefing event was scheduled for 21st January 2026. However, a subsequent notice dated 8th April 2026 indicates that the awarding process was unsuccessful and ultimately discontinued, with the tender status marked as cancelled.

This procurement presented opportunities for businesses specialised in airport and security technology, particularly those capable of providing modern, durable X-ray equipment with reliable maintenance support suited to remote island conditions. Companies with expertise in airport safety and a strong track record in delivering high-quality goods exceeding regulatory standards could have competitively positioned themselves for this procurement. While the tender was eventually concluded without award, similar future opportunities may arise, offering chances for growth to businesses involved in the sector of airport-related activities and equipment provision. Businesses should stay attuned to notifications from Highlands and Islands Airports Limited for potential re-tendering or similar projects.
