Summary of the contracting process

The Shetland Islands Council initiated a public procurement process for an "External Redecoration Contract" concerning the refurbishment of 81 Council houses located in the West Mainland of Shetland. The procurement falls under the works category, with the procurement method being an open procedure, ensuring broad participation. The process progressed from the tender stage in March 2026 to award status, with the contract subsequently becoming active as of 31 March 2026, valued at £42,434.
