Notice Title

Review of Cairngorm Ski Area Uplift Infrastructure

Notice Description

This is a Contract Award Notice and as such the procurement process has now ended. HIE required a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to undertake a comprehensive, independent review of the uplift facilities at Cairngorm Mountain ski resort to determine the best way forward for potential reinvestment in the infrastructure including the long-term feasibility of redevelopment of Coire na Ciste. The review will significantly contribute to preparation of a 5-10 year long-term strategy for the ski area.

Lot Information

Lot 1

In order that the uplift infrastructure remains fit for purpose, in accordance with the needs of the operation and its customers, a review of the uplift infrastructure has been identified as an essential piece of work. The review will: - Describe Cairngorm's place in a changing ski market and what it might need to do to adapt. - Summarise the current operational and maintenance challenges. - Establish the areas requiring practical rectification with indicative timescales and costs. - Identify potential future opportunities for year-round diversification which may be economically developed to enhance the customer experience, increased participation in snowsports and reduce future maintenance demands. - Review the options for redevelopment of infrastructure in Coire na Ciste. This opportunity has not been split into Lots since it would make its execution excessively difficult.

Options: See additional information.

Renewal: The Contract will be awarded for an initial period of 8 months with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 2 months following the Initial Term, if there has been a delay in the services due to unforeseen circumstances.
