Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council procured architectural services for the development of 28 new housing units at Teandallon, Evanton, in the third phase of the project. The requirement covers architectural work for the housing scheme and falls within the services category, under CPV 71200000 for architectural and related services. Highland Council is the buying organisation and the work is associated with its local housing development programme in Evanton. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, covering the complete architectural services scope for the 28-unit development. This is relevant to architectural practices with experience delivering services for new-build housing projects, particularly those able to work with Highland Council on developments in and around Evanton and the wider Highland area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bracewell Stirling Consulting. It used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, approved through Highland Council’s internal resources for project continuity and treated as outside the applicable directive’s scope. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 for £131,332, with the contract recorded as active. There was one lot, covering the architectural services for the housing development. The award related to the full lot rather than separate awards for individual units. Bracewell Stirling Consulting was the selected supplier for this requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Highland Council for architectural services supporting new-build housing, with a single SME supplier selected for a 28-unit development. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide architectural capability suited to housing schemes and the capacity to support project continuity from an established stage of development. Experience coordinating architectural work for multiple new homes would be directly relevant, as would the ability to deliver services for a local authority client in the Highland area. The procurement route also shows that continuity can influence supplier selection where a project is already progressing, so firms seeking comparable work would benefit from demonstrating reliable delivery and the ability to integrate with an existing project team.
