"description": "As well as noting your interest on the Public Contracts Scotland portal, to be considered you must also email relevant supporting information - i.e. CVs of key people and examples of previous similar work, and a cover letter to rachel.cartwright@snh.gov.uk to arrive by 09:00 on 6 April 2018. This information will then be used to determine which contractors to formally invite to quote. The Invitation to Quote will likely be issued directly via email rather than via the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This Prior Information Notice is being published so as a wider potential field of candidates may be reached, but it does not fall within the 'regulated procurement' category (i.e. the value is under GBP50,000. Please note that because Section II.3 of this PIN is a mandatory field, a date has been entered but a Contract Notice will NOT be published on this site - as detailed above, the most suitable candidates will be invited to quote directly via email.
