This falls under the services category, specifically targeting construction consultancy services, as detailed by CPV code 71530000. The process was concluded with the award being issued on 1 April 2026 without competition, utilising a direct procurement method. The successful bidder is EJ Parker Technical Services (Scotland North) Ltd, located in Inverness. The contract, valued at £31,072.20, is currently active, and no further competition was required due to prior inclusion in the Highland Council's Heating Framework Agreement from 2021 to 2024.
