This construction work, classified under the industry category CPV 45000000, involves infrastructure improvement tasks such as the installation of an overnight berthing structure, slipway, localised road improvements, dredging, and electric vessel charging power infrastructure. Located in the Ardgour and Nether Lochaber regions, the procurement process, based on a restricted procedure, has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 13th December 2025. The main contractor awarded is Charles Brand Group Ltd with the project scheduled to commence on 26 January 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth in the construction sector, particularly for businesses specialising in marine construction, road construction, dredging, and electrical installation work. With a substantial contract value of over 26 million GBP, this project offers lucrative possibilities for companies equipped to manage large-scale construction projects and meet the selective criteria set by the Highland Council.
