PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

VisitScotland is procuring professional consultancy services to appraise potential Scottish venues for a future edition of the Ryder Cup. The commission will support a potential bid by assessing venues and setting out the likely requirements and implications of hosting the event. Its outputs must include an estimated budget, an overlay plan, and an assessment of the potential impacts and benefits of hosting. The work is intended for venues in Scotland, with VisitScotland as the buying organisation. This is a specialist event, venue and economic appraisal assignment rather than venue operation, construction or event delivery. It is suited to consultancies and contractors able to combine venue assessment with structured business-case and event-impact analysis.

The procurement has reached tender: VisitScotland invited offers through an open procedure. There is one lot, covering the venue appraisal service, and bids must be submitted electronically in English. The deadline set by the buyer is 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bid opening at the same time. The contract is expected to start in September 2026 and run for up to four months, described for the lot as 120 days. Its estimated value is £84,000. Bids must remain valid for 180 days after submission. The contract allows electronic payment and ordering, and electronic invoicing is permitted. The tender is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits an established consultancy or contractor with demonstrable experience conducting venue appraisals and preparing evidence for major sporting-event bids. The successful supplier will need to turn venue information into a practical assessment covering costs, event overlay requirements, likely impacts and potential benefits. Experience preparing work in line with Green Book guidance is important, as the outputs must follow that approach. Strong capability in financial modelling, business-case preparation, event planning and impact assessment would help a supplier address the full brief. The work is likely to suit a compact specialist team able to coordinate venue, economic and operational analysis and produce clear, decision-ready reports for a national tourism organisation.
