Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council commissioned employers’ agent services for the development of 15 new housing units at Wyndhill, Muir of Ord. The work covers professional duties associated with managing and supporting the housing project, within the broader area of construction consultancy services (CPV 71310000). Highland Council is the public-sector buyer and the service location is Muir of Ord in the Highlands. The requirement was arranged as one project and related to project and commercial management engineering and technical consultancy services under the Scotland Excel Engineering & Technical Consultancy Framework. It therefore concerns advisory and management support for a council-led housing development, rather than the construction of the homes themselves. The selected supplier was KLM Partnership, an SME based in Inverness.

The procurement has been awarded and the resulting contract is active. Highland Council used an open procedure through a framework agreement, with the requirement handled as a single lot for project and commercial management engineering and technical consultancy services. KLM Partnership was selected as supplier. The contract value is £21,039.43 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The tender reached complete status before the contract became active. The award record relates to the full employers’ agent requirement for the 15-unit housing development; no separate award values or suppliers are identified.

This procurement shows demand from Highland Council for employers’ agent support on small housing developments, delivered through a recognised public-sector consultancy framework. Businesses well placed for comparable work would have practical experience acting as an employers’ agent and providing project management, commercial management and related engineering or technical consultancy for residential schemes. Credibility would depend on being able to support a council client through the delivery of new homes, coordinate professional and commercial matters, and operate within the requirements of a framework agreement. KLM Partnership’s SME status and Inverness base indicate that a smaller local consultancy can compete for this type of requirement. Firms seeking similar work should assess their framework eligibility, relevant housing-project experience and capacity to provide integrated project and commercial advice.
