PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Trust for Scotland is appointing a Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) Engineer for the development of its Glenfinnan Visitor Centre. The requirement covers professional engineering services supporting the visitor centre project, including the associated technical and project requirements. The work will be delivered in Glenfinnan, Scotland. It is a services contract for an organisation working in conservation and heritage. The procurement also relates to the development and construction of a visitor centre, so it may suit engineering practices experienced in building projects, heritage environments or visitor attractions. The primary classification is CPV 71311300, covering civil engineering consultancy services, alongside classifications relating to engineering services, construction, cultural buildings, heritage and conservation.

The buyer invited offers at the tender stage through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline was 21 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC, when bids were also scheduled to be opened. The contract period is 720 days, with renewal permitted under the invitation-to-tender documents. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after submission. There is one lot and variants are not allowed. Evaluation uses suitability and technical criteria; the technical requirements reserve delivery to a particular profession. The tender includes an electronic auction. English is the submission language. Electronic payment and ordering will be used, while electronic invoicing is allowed. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity suits an established M&E engineering practice able to take professional responsibility for services on a visitor-centre development. Bidders need to demonstrate suitability and technical competence, and the requirement is reserved to a particular profession, so relevant professional status is central to eligibility. The tender requires the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work, favouring firms with an identified, suitably qualified project team rather than providers offering only general consultancy. Applicants should also be ready to address health and safety compliance, insurance, criminal convictions and business probity, non-collusion, equality and diversity, and any amendments or qualifications to their offer. Experience coordinating with a wider construction project team is likely to be relevant.
