## Summary

The Highland Council is planning a procurement process for the "Inner Moray Firth Housing & Property Maintenance Framework - 2026," aimed at securing service providers in the repair and maintenance industry. This framework, which is in the planning stage as of 14th July 2026, will cover the Inner Moray Firth area, including Inverness, Nairn, Dingwall, Beauly, Tain, and Fort Augustus. It is set to commence from 3rd August 2026. The framework is valued at approximately £49.6 million and will be structured into two main lots: Housing and Property, each comprising various trade sub-lots such as general builder works, plumbing, electrical, and more. Businesses can compete for one or more lots, offering a chance to provide services "as and when" required.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth to businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, especially those with expertise in trades like plumbing, electrical, painting, and construction. Given the framework’s three-year duration with possible extensions, contracting with the Highland Council could provide stable work and establish a long-term relationship with a regional authority. Contractors who are suitably qualified and experienced, particularly those capable of handling multiple types of maintenance and repair tasks, would be well-positioned to thrive under this framework. It's an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their footprint in the Northern Scotland region, leveraging the Council's commitment to upkeeping its extensive property portfolio.
