Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council procured building refurbishment works for South Lodge PS, covering two linked elements: internal refurbishment of the P4–7 toilets and a complete upgrade of the roofing system. The requirement is classed as construction work and relates to a public building in the Highland Council area. The scope combines internal finishing and building-services work with significant external roofing activity, so it is relevant to contractors able to manage both workstreams or coordinate specialist subcontractors. The named buyer is Highland Council, a local authority based in Inverness. The project was arranged as a single refurbishment-project lot under the SPA Framework’s PB3 Public Building Construction and Infrastructure Lot 2.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through an open procedure using a framework agreement. One lot covered the refurbishment project. Compass Building & Construction Services was selected as the supplier, with the contract signed on 16 September 2026. The contract value is £834,415.98. The published bid statistics record one bid, which was from an SME, and one electronic bid. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome information identifies the successful supplier and an active contract, while the tender itself is marked complete. This is therefore an award outcome rather than a current invitation to submit proposals.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates Highland Council demand for substantial public-building refurbishment combining toilet renewal with a full roofing-system upgrade. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need proven capability in commercial or public-sector refurbishment, roofing replacement and internal toilet works, with sufficient management capacity to deliver several specialist activities within one project. Experience coordinating trades, working in an occupied or operational public-building environment, and controlling interfaces between structural, weatherproofing, plumbing, electrical and finishing work would be relevant. The single SME bid and the use of a construction framework indicate that suitably capable smaller contractors may be able to compete, including firms that can assemble reliable specialist supply chains while retaining overall project responsibility.
