Summary of the contracting process

West Highland Housing Association is seeking a design-and-build contractor for an affordable housing development in Dalmally. The works comprise eight new-build homes, associated infrastructure and conversion of the Police House into two further affordable homes. This is a housing construction project, including residential building and conversion work (CPV 45211100). The development is located in Dalmally. The contractor is expected to deliver the design and construction of the homes and associated infrastructure under the employer’s requirements. The procurement concerns both new construction and the adaptation of an existing building, so it is relevant to firms able to manage housing development works across these activities.

The buyer invited offers through an open procurement procedure to select a preferred design-and-build contractor. The tender set a submission deadline of 27 November 2026 at 16:00 UTC; the bid opening was scheduled for the same time in Oban. The stated contract duration is 420 days. Bids must remain valid for 120 days after the submission deadline. The project is organised as one lot and does not allow variant bids; the buyer has also stated that there are no renewal or additional-purchase options. Selection is based on suitability, with details set out in the procurement documents. Staff names and qualifications must be provided. Electronic submission is accepted, and English is the submission language. No tender value is stated.

This opportunity is best suited to a building contractor with design-and-build capability and experience delivering affordable housing, including both new-build homes and conversion of existing property. The scope also calls for the delivery of associated infrastructure, so firms able to coordinate building and related site works may be well placed. The buyer requires tenderers to provide the names and qualifications of the staff assigned to the work, making an identifiable, appropriately qualified project team relevant. Community benefits form part of the requirement, with the expected commitments described in the procurement documents. The contract is a single development rather than a multi-lot programme, making it potentially relevant to contractors able to take responsibility for the design and construction package as a whole.
