Summary of the contracting process

Argyll and Bute Council appointed an electrical consultancy for the Kilmory Castle Essential Works Refurbishment Programme. The requirement covers reviewing the condition of the castle’s existing electrical services and providing full design services for a whole-building rewiring and upgrade. The works are to be phased so that parts of the building can remain operational during the programme. This is a building services consultancy requirement, including building-fabric consultancy, building consultancy and building services consultancy (CPV 71315210). The delivery location is Kilmory Castle in Lochgilphead, Argyll and Bute. The appointed supplier is Harley Haddow Limited, an Edinburgh-based consultancy. The requirement is relevant to firms with electrical building-services design expertise and experience of refurbishment projects in operational or occupied buildings.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Argyll and Bute Council used a direct award procedure, with the contract awarded to a single supplier without competition. One bid was recorded. Harley Haddow Limited was awarded the contract for £116,790. The contract was signed on 9 January 2026. The procurement concerns consultancy and design services rather than construction delivery, with the design supporting a phased whole-building electrical rewiring and upgrade. The evaluation outcome was therefore a single-supplier appointment rather than a competitive assessment between multiple tenderers. The award is for the complete electrical consultancy requirement described, including condition review and design services for the refurbishment programme at Kilmory Castle.

This award indicates demand from Argyll and Bute Council for specialist electrical building-services consultancy linked to heritage refurbishment and essential works. A credible future competitor would need to assess existing electrical installations, develop a design for a whole-building rewire or upgrade, and plan delivery in phases that allow an operational building to continue functioning. Relevant capability includes building-services engineering, electrical condition surveys, coordinated design and refurbishment planning. Experience of working in existing buildings, managing interfaces with other building-fabric or consultancy disciplines, and producing designs suitable for phased implementation would strengthen a supplier’s position. Firms should also be able to demonstrate sufficient technical resource to take a project from initial review through full design, with clear attention to the practical constraints of a castle refurbishment.
