PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involved Highland Council, located in Inverness, who initiated a limited tender for the construction of 38 new housing units at Whitehills, Alness. This award procedure did not involve prior publication of a competition call, as it was negotiated. The industry category is principally associated with works, specifically under the General public services classification. The contract, valued at £8,648,807.01 GBP, was signed on 31 March 2026, and is currently active, marking the completion of the tender stage. This project falls within the UKM6 region.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly those capable of undertaking negotiated projects without prior competitive bidding. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Pat Munro (Alness) Ltd, which won the contract, can leverage such opportunities to expand their portfolio and strengthen their market presence in the region. The procurement method's focus on negotiation rather than open competition suggests that businesses with strong local ties and expertise in regional or infrastructure development may have a strategic advantage.
