Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council’s Wester Ross housing project involved energy-efficiency improvements to homes in the Wester Ross area. The works included replacing heating systems and domestic pipework, with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed in some properties. The requirement was procured through the Council’s Housing Heating Framework. This is building-services and housing retrofit work for suppliers able to deliver heating-system replacements and associated domestic plumbing, with PV installation included where required. The project is based in Wester Ross, in the Highland Council area.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to EJ Parker Technical Services (Scotland North) Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 24 September 2026. Its recorded value is £790,877.64. The single lot covered the Wester Ross housing upgrades. The Council used an open procedure through its Housing Heating Framework. One bid was recorded, from an SME, and it was submitted electronically. The contract period and award date are not set out in the published process data; the signature date is the recorded contract milestone. The award relates to works to improve domestic heating and energy efficiency.

This award demonstrates demand from Highland Council for housing energy-efficiency works that combine heating-system replacement with domestic pipework, and may also include PV panel installation. Suppliers positioned for comparable future requirements would need to show they can coordinate and deliver these building-services elements across domestic properties in the Wester Ross area. The framework route is commercially relevant: suppliers seeking to compete for similar Council work would need to understand the requirements and participation arrangements of its Housing Heating Framework, rather than treating this as an unrestricted standalone project. The award went to an SME and followed a competition with one recorded bid, indicating that a specialist regional contractor can serve this requirement. Credibility will depend on relevant technical capability and the capacity to manage the combined retrofit scope.
