Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council commissioned construction works for a new all-weather sports pitch at Inverness Campus in Inverness. The scope includes security fencing, floodlighting, access and maintenance paths, an access road with a turning-point hammerhead and two car parking spaces. This is a sports-facilities construction project, classified under CPV 45000000 for construction work. The requirement is intended to provide a complete usable pitch and its supporting access and site infrastructure, rather than a standalone supply of sports equipment or lighting. Businesses suited to this work are contractors able to deliver outdoor sports surfaces alongside associated civil engineering, fencing, lighting, access and parking works in an occupied or operational campus environment. Highland Council is the buying organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Highland Council used an open procedure through the SPA Framework PB3, with one completed lot. Galliford Try Construction Limited trading as Morrison Construction was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 for £1,588,080.45. One bid was recorded, including one bid from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The procurement was evaluated through the framework route; the available outcome records identify the selected supplier but do not set out separate quality or price weightings. The process was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The contract award relates to the full sports-pitch and associated access, fencing, lighting, path, road and parking requirement.

This award shows that Highland Council buys sizeable, integrated outdoor sports-facility construction rather than isolated maintenance or supply packages. A credible future competitor would need to manage all-weather pitch construction and coordinate fencing, floodlighting, paths, access-road formation, turning areas and car parking as one delivery programme. Relevant capability includes civil engineering, groundworks, drainage and surfacing, sports-surface installation, electrical work for floodlights, site access control and safe construction logistics. Firms should be able to demonstrate comparable completed schemes, reliable project management and sufficient capacity to deliver a multi-disciplinary works package for a local-authority client. Access to the relevant public-sector framework route is also commercially important, as this requirement was procured through SPA Framework PB3.
