Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council is marketing the former Motherwell Masonic Hall at 23–27 Hope Street, Motherwell. This is an estates marketing opportunity for a standalone property offering potential residential conversion, mixed commercial and residential use, or business use, subject to planning permission and Historic Scotland consent. The detached hall is in Motherwell town centre, close to public transport and Motherwell train station. It has four floors at the front and part three floors at the rear, and requires refurbishment or redevelopment in line with Historic Scotland guidelines. The requirement is classified as real estate services (CPV 70332000). The council is both the buyer and the central purchasing body for this property opportunity.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. Bids over £100,000 are invited, exclusive of VAT; the seller does not undertake to accept the highest offer or any offer. The tender deadline set by the council was 14 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time in Motherwell. The proposed contract period is 20,520 days. Bids had to remain valid until 31 December 2026. Variants were not allowed, and submissions had to be in English. The opportunity is presented as one property lot, with the detailed property particulars forming the basis for offers and evaluation.

This opportunity suits property developers, investors and estates businesses able to acquire and repurpose a substantial town-centre building. Strong candidates will be able to assess the condition of a former public or heritage-related building, develop a viable refurbishment or redevelopment scheme, and manage the planning process. Experience of securing Historic Scotland consent, where required, will be relevant, as will the ability to assess options for residential, mixed-use or business conversion. The property requires significant refurbishment or redevelopment, so bidders should have the financial capacity, project management capability and specialist professional support needed to take a four-floor front section and part three-floor rear section through design, approvals and delivery.
