Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council procured energy-efficiency works to homes in the Black Isle area. The project involved replacing heating systems and domestic pipework, with solar photovoltaic panels installed in some properties. It is a housing retrofit project combining heating and plumbing upgrades with renewable electricity installations. The works were procured as a single lot through the council’s Housing Heating Framework. Delivery is in the Black Isle area; Inverness is the council’s location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EJ Parker Technical Services (Scotland North) Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 24 September 2026, at a value of £147,176.74. The award date and contract period are not recorded in the available process details. The works were procured through an open procedure under the Highland Council Housing Heating Framework. The project was divided into one lot. One bid was received, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The recorded information does not state separate evaluation criteria.

This award shows that Highland Council buys housing energy-efficiency upgrades combining heating-system replacement, domestic pipework and, in some homes, solar PV installation. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the capability to deliver these trades as a coordinated package across homes in the Black Isle area, including managing installation work within existing domestic properties. The selected supplier was an SME, and the procurement attracted one bid, indicating that a smaller specialist contractor was capable of winning this framework call-off. Suppliers with relevant residential heating and plumbing experience, and the ability to integrate PV installations where required, are well placed to compete when this specific requirement next comes to market.
