Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council commissioned energy-efficiency improvement works for homes in the Lochaber area. The project covers replacing heating systems and domestic pipework, alongside installing solar photovoltaic panels. It is a building works requirement combining heating, plumbing and solar installation, intended to improve the energy efficiency of housing. The work was procured as a single lot through the Council’s Housing Heating Framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Highland Council used an open procedure through its Housing Heating Framework. EJ Parker Technical Services (Scotland North) Ltd was selected for the work, and the contract was signed on 24 September 2026. The contract value is £306,991.60. One bid was recorded for the lot, from a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published information does not state a contract period or a separate award date.

For suppliers considering similar future work for Highland Council, this award demonstrates demand for coordinated domestic energy-efficiency upgrades in the Lochaber area: heating-system replacement, domestic pipework and solar photovoltaic installation. A credible competitor would need to deliver these connected trades as a housing improvement project, with the capacity to work across the specified area. The work was routed through the Council’s Housing Heating Framework, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route when the requirement returns to market. The recorded winner is an SME, showing that the work was delivered by a supplier of that scale; the procurement provides no stated accreditation or experience requirements.
