## Summary

Highland Council, the buying organisation, recently concluded the award stage of the procurement process for the "New Reception and Security Works Highland Council HQ Inverness" project. The procurement falls under the works category and the project aims to refurbish the HQ ground-floor Council Chamber area in Inverness, UK. The project employs an open procedure procurement method and is covered by the GPA framework. The contract, valued at £285,967.18, was signed on the 31st of March, 2026, marking the completion of the award stage on the 1st of April, 2026. This initiative is part of the SPA Public Buildings Construction and Infrastructure (PB3) Framework and seeks to create a modernised main reception and strengthened security environment to meet current operational standards.

Opportunities for business growth abound for those involved in refurbishment and construction sectors, particularly SMEs. Compass Building & Construction Services, an SME, was successful in securing the contract. Businesses with expertise in building works and security solutions are well-positioned to take advantage of similar opportunities within the Highland Council's procurement needs. With the use of the open procedure, the tender process is accessible and promotes fair competition, attracting both local and non-EU foreign bids, although the winning bid was local. Interested parties are encouraged to track future tender announcements to align their capabilities with the Council's ongoing infrastructure and refurbishment projects.
