Summary of the contracting process

Highlands and Islands Enterprise is procuring construction works for two small business units at Plot 14, Inverness Campus, Inverness. Each building will provide approximately 230 square metres of gross floor area, comprising a workshop or open-plan area, toilets, office, kitchen, meeting space and plant space. The requirement covers the complete construction of these commercial premises, including associated building and engineering works. The site is at Inverness Campus, and the development is intended to provide accommodation for small businesses. This is a works contract suited to building contractors and construction consortia with the resources to deliver two similar units as one project.

The procurement has reached tender: Highlands and Islands Enterprise invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. It is a single-stage, single-lot procurement. The tender submission deadline and bid opening are 27 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 330 days, with an option to extend by up to 12 months. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. Evaluation includes suitability requirements set out in the SPD; the tender also requires staff names and qualifications. Variants are not allowed, submissions must be in English, and community benefits form part of the requirement. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits an established main contractor or construction consortium able to manage the delivery of two small commercial buildings, including workshops or open-plan areas, offices, welfare facilities, meeting rooms and plant space. Suppliers should have the construction management, building-services coordination and site capacity needed to deliver a complete campus development under the specified contract arrangements. Bidders must be prepared to identify the staff assigned to the work and provide their professional qualifications. The requirement also includes community benefits, so businesses able to offer local employment, training, supply-chain or wider social-value commitments may be better placed. Experience delivering comparable commercial or industrial units would be relevant.
