Summary of the contracting process

Highland Council commissioned quantity surveying services for Phase 3 of a 65-home development at Blar Mhor, Fort William. The work concerns the new housing units and falls within engineering and technical consultancy services. The project is in Fort William, in the Highland Council area. The council is the buyer, and the requirement was handled as a single lot through a consultancy framework covering project and commercial management and related engineering and technical services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to KLM Partnership. The recorded contract value is £115,361.29, and the contract was signed on 12 October 2026. The tender used an open procedure, with the appointment made through Scotland Excel’s Engineering & Technical Consultancy Framework, Lot 9. One bid was recorded for the lot. The available contract information does not state the contract period or a separate award date.

This award demonstrates demand from Highland Council for quantity surveying on a substantial new-build housing project, delivered through its use of a specialist consultancy framework. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to show relevant quantity surveying experience and the ability to support a 65-home development. Familiarity with project and commercial management within engineering and technical consultancy would be pertinent to this framework route. The selected firm was an SME, showing that a smaller consultancy secured the work; the procurement does not set out specific accreditations or detailed technical requirements.
