Summary of the contracting process

Crown Estate Scotland has completed a public procurement process for its "Tenant Survey" project, seeking a contractor to carry out surveys of tenant groups within the Scottish Crown Estate over the term of their new Corporate Plan from 2026 to 2031. The procurement process followed an open procedure and was managed by Scotland Excel, based in Edinburgh. Key classifications for this tender included Estate Management and services under several CPV codes such as 71355000 and 79342311. The process recently concluded with an award dated 10th July 2026, with Progressive Partnership Ltd. emerging as the successful supplier for the contract valued at £70,425. Key dates in the contract include survey cycles scheduled for 2026, 2028-29, and 2030-31.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in survey and analytical services, particularly those with expertise in estate management, tenant relations, and service performance measurement. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) focusing on property, energy, infrastructure, and aquaculture sectors could find growth prospects as subcontractors or consultants within this field. With a five-year contract that aligns with Crown Estate Scotland's strategic objectives and the potential for extension, businesses with the capability to provide comprehensive survey reports and insights could benefit from long-term stability and visibility in a high-profile public project.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Crown Estate Scotland is seeking a contractor to lead the survey of our tenant groups on the Scottish Crown Estate. CES has been surveying its tenants since 2017, with survey providing important feedback on CES performance, the service we provide and the relationship we have with our tenants. There has been a break in survey while we have been developing our new corporate plan, with the last surveys carried out in 2023. This contract will align with our new Corporate Plan (CP) timeframe 2026-2031, with three surveys required - one in the first year of the CP, scheduled for August this year (2026), one in year three of the CP (FY 2028-29), and a third survey in year five of the CP (FY 2030-31). Separate stand-alone survey reports are required for each survey. Surveys are of our three main tenant groups - Property, Energy and Infrastructure, and Aquaculture, with reporting required against a number of sub-groups under these. Previously different tenant groups were surveyed separately, with a rolling programme of surveys across a three-year cycle. For this contract CES will survey all tenant groups together, requiring only one collective tenant survey in each survey cycle - 2026, 2028/9 and in 2030/31.

Renewal: The Contract will run for a period of 5 years with the option to extend for an additional 12-month period.

CES has been surveying its tenants since 2017, with survey providing important feedback on CES performance, the service we provide and the relationship we have with our tenants. There has been a break in survey while we have been developing our new corporate plan, with the last surveys carried out in 2023. This contract will align with our new Corporate Plan (CP) timeframe 2026-2031, with three surveys required - one in the first year of the CP, scheduled for August this year (2026), one in year three of the CP (FY 2028-29), and a third survey in year five of the CP (FY 2030-31). Separate stand-alone survey reports are required for each survey. Surveys are of our three main tenant groups - Property, Energy and Infrastructure, and Aquaculture, with reporting required against a number of sub-groups under these. Previously different tenant groups were surveyed separately, with a rolling programme of surveys across a three-year cycle. For this contract CES will survey all tenant groups together, requiring only one collective tenant survey in each survey cycle - 2026, 2028/9 and in 2030/31.",
