HIGHLAND COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Highland Council, a regional authority located in Inverness, has completed the contract award stage for the Storr Retail Unit Phase 2 on the Isle of Skye. This project involves the full design and specification to extend retail space and create a larger multi-purpose room, with the building being manufactured off-site and transported via road and sea. The contract was awarded on 31st March 2026 to Modular West Ltd, an SME based in Castlebay, for a value of £594,100. The procurement process was carried out under a limited method due to an exemption from the Contract Standing Orders, falling outside the scope of the directive, without prior publication of a call for competition, and conforms with General Public Services industry classification under CPV 45000000, focusing on works.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in off-site construction and logistics, particularly those with experience in creating modular units and managing transportation logistics to remote locations like the Isle of Skye. Businesses with capabilities in building design and multi-purpose space creation may find growth opportunities by engaging in similar projects initiated by regional or local authorities like the Highland Council. The emphasis on expanding retail infrastructure provides opportunities for suppliers to expand their portfolio and expertise in working with public sector clients, potentially opening doors to further contracts under similar procurement frameworks.
