Firms invited to tender for Highlands and Islands airports work
Highlands and Islands businesses are being encouraged to apply for 31 contracts for maintenance work at airports across the region ranging from thousands of pounds up to more than £15 million.
The contracts, which will be available for tender between June and October 2024, include a range of services to support Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) across a number of locations.
All companies with the skills and experience can apply for the contracts through the open tender process, with mechanical, electrical & plumbing works at Barra, Campbeltown, Islay and Tiree competed through the invitation to quote process.
HIAL said it is committed to promoting and enabling sustainable outcomes to benefit its airports, society and local economies while minimising damage to the environment. It aims to ensure that bidders can provide sustainable benefits and meet response times to keep the airports operational.
Information to inform and support businesses throughout the tender process is available to help as many companies as possible to participate. An online information session about the 31 contract opportunities has been organised and full details of this session is included within the Prior Information Notices (PINs).

Head of Procurement at HIAL, Sarah Shelley, said: “These contracts are a fantastic opportunity for businesses to work with HIAL to provide day to day, routine and reactive maintenance services across our airports. We would encourage any company, small or large, to register their interest as a potential supplier and tender for relevant contracts as they become available on the Public Contracts Scotland website.”
