Highland Council tenders, awards, and pre-procurement notices.
Highland Council is the local authority for Scotland's largest council area and runs procurement through a dedicated Procurement Unit. Smaller purchases are handled as direct quotations, with staff approaching at least three suppliers. Commercial and Procurement Shared Services pools buying expertise across Highland, Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils.
The Supplier Development Programme offers free bid training to businesses bidding for council contracts.
Over the past 5 years, most of Highland Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and repair and maintenance.
