This project involves developing a 16-class primary school with a nursery on a greenfield site in the new settlement of Tornagrain, aiming to achieve Passivhaus Accreditation. The process, which is now complete, culminated in a contract awarded on 19th May 2025, with Rybka Ltd named as the contractor. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, indicative of a competitive process suitable for local and regional businesses. The project was located in Inverness (UKM6), with the procurement phase transitioning from a tender status in March 2025 to an award in May 2025. This tender offered significant opportunities for firms engaged in construction services, particularly those specialising in educational infrastructure and sustainable building practices. Businesses capable of delivering high-quality mechanical and electrical engineering services in line with Passivhaus standards were well-positioned to compete. Given the open procedure, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Rybka Ltd, were able to successfully participate, indicating that the tender was accessible to a variety of business sizes. This contract also presents future growth potential for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in the green building sector, particularly in Scotland's regional markets. ## Notice Construction of a new 16-class Primary School with 4-class Nursery on greenfield site together with associated landscaping and car parking within new settlement of Tornagrain.
