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. ## Notice Selection of D&B contractor for 8 new build affordable housing units and associated infrastructure, and conversion of Police House into 2 affordable units, Dalmally. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Open procurement procedure for the selection of a preferred D&B contractor. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566933 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Oct 2026 | | Submission deadline | 27 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | West Highland Housing Association | | Locality | OBAN | | Postcode area | Paisley | | Postcode | PA34 4HB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM2 Highlands and Islands | | ITL 3 | TLM20 Highlands and Islands | | Local authority | Argyll and Bute | | Electoral ward | Oban South and the Isles | | Westminster constituency | Argyll, Bute and South Lochaber | | Delivery location | TLM63 Lochaber, Skye and Lochalsh, Arran and Cumbrae, and Argyll and Bute | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45211000 - Construction work for multi-dwelling buildings and individual houses - 45211100 - Construction work for houses - 45211300 - Houses construction work - 45211340 - Multi-dwelling buildings construction work - 45211341 - Flats construction work ## Release History - 20 Oct 2026 at 01:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566933 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT566933 WHHA Selection of Contractor for New Build and Conversion Housing Development Dalmally - Selection of D&B contractor for 8 new build affordable housing units and associated infrastructure, and conversion of Police House into 2 affordable units, Dalmally. ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk - http://www.westhighlandha.co.uk - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000845772 - https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/ESPD/ESPD_Download.aspx?id=845772 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=845772 - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/sitehelp/help_guides.aspx ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
