Summary of the contracting process

Moray Council intends to appoint a contractor to build five new housing units on a site at Old Mart Road in Dufftown. The homes form the second phase of delivery at the site. This is a construction works requirement for a contractor able to undertake a small residential development in Dufftown, within the Moray Council area. The council is the public-sector buyer and the work will be delivered at the named Dufftown site. The scope is centred on constructing the five units rather than supplying standalone goods or providing an ongoing service. Businesses specialising in residential housebuilding, small housing developments or related general building works should consider this procurement relevant.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Moray Council has set out its intention to procure the works, but has not yet invited tenders. The planned procurement is organised as one lot covering the five-unit build. The council expects the next notice to be published on 30 October 2026; this is an indicative future date, not a deadline for responses. The planned route is a tender process for works, with the detailed procurement arrangements to be set out when the requirement reaches the market. The procurement is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The current planning information does not set out a contract value, budget, tender deadline or evaluation criteria.

This will suit building contractors with the capability to deliver a small residential construction project in Dufftown, including firms experienced in constructing multiple housing units on a defined site. It may also be relevant to regional housebuilders and general contractors able to organise and manage the delivery of five homes as a second development phase. Suppliers should use the planning period to assess their capacity for a five-unit build, review their experience of comparable housing work and prepare for the detailed requirements when the procurement reaches the market. The opportunity is most relevant to contractors that can take responsibility for the construction works rather than suppliers of individual products alone.
