Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council procured mechanical and electrical (M&E) services for a new heating system at Aviemore Primary School. The requirement covers building-services engineering associated with designing, supplying, installing or supporting the school’s new heating system, with the work delivered at the school in Aviemore. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement sits within its general public-services responsibilities. The procurement concerned services rather than construction works or the supply of standalone equipment. Businesses specialising in school heating projects, mechanical and electrical building services, or integrated building-services engineering would find the subject matter relevant. The named requirement is Aviemore Primary School – New Heating System – M&E.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used an open procedure, with the single lot described as a direct award through the SPA Framework; a framework agreement was involved. Wallace Whittle was selected as supplier. The award was recorded against the Aviemore Primary School heating-system requirement, and the contract was signed on 6 August 2026. The contract is active and has a value of £54,487.50. The process recorded one bid for the lot, one bid from an SME and one electronic bid. The published outcome does not include a separate award date or a stated contract end date. No contract options apply. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Highland Council purchases specialist M&E services for education-sector heating projects through a framework-based route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in mechanical and electrical building services focused on heating-system delivery in schools or comparable public buildings. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a major contractor. The process also shows that electronic bidding and access to the relevant SPA Framework were part of the commercial route. Experience coordinating integrated M&E work around an operational school environment would support a credible offer.
