Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council has completed a procurement process titled "2 Units (LIFT) Lairig View, Aviemore", falling under the works category. Located in Aviemore, the project involves the creation of two new Low-cost Initiative for First Time buyers (LIFT) housing units. This procurement stage has reached the award phase, and the contract was signed on 4th June 2026. Utilizing a limited procurement method, the Highland Council conducted a negotiated tender without prior publication of a call for competition. This initiative is part of the council's ongoing efforts to address local housing needs, with the total contract valued at £440,713.69.

This procurement offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the construction and residential development sectors. As evidenced by the successful bid from Cairngorm Residential LLP, SMEs with capabilities in building affordable housing units are well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders. The project's focus on first-time buyers suggests an emphasis on cost-efficiency and innovation, encouraging companies with expertise in economical housing solutions to engage in competitive tendering with regional authorities like Highland Council.
