PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Lanarkshire Council is offering a freehold business development site at Westfield Pitches, Deerdykes Place, Cumbernauld. The land is approximately 3.3 hectares (8.2 acres), within the established Westfield Industrial Estate and immediately beside the M80 motorway. The opportunity is for a buyer proposing a commercial development, rather than a council purchase of goods or services. Bidders are asked to provide drawings showing the proposed development, including site layout, access and parking arrangements, alongside an application form and their offer. Nearby occupiers include AG Barr, DPD, Optical Express, Scottish Water and Speedy Hire. The site is in Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire.

The process reached tender: North Lanarkshire Council invited offers through an open procedure, with bids required electronically through the Public Contracts Scotland portal. The bid deadline was 28 May 2027 at 12:00 noon. Offers are for the freehold, and bidders must state the sum offered, proposed contractual conditions and anticipated timescales. VAT is payable in addition to the purchase price. The stated procurement value is £1. The proposed contract period is 540 days, and bids must remain valid for 540 days after the submission deadline. The council planned to seek Finance & Resources Committee authority to proceed with its preferred bidder on 15 September 2027, after which final legal terms would be agreed. Alternative bids are not permitted.

This opportunity is best suited to a property developer, commercial land buyer or business able to deliver a viable development on an industrial-estate site. A competitive submission needs a clear development proposal, supported by drawings of the site layout, access and parking, as well as a completed application form. The council also requires an explicit purchase offer and a statement of proposed contractual conditions and anticipated delivery timescales. The location beside the M80 and within an established industrial estate may suit commercial uses seeking motorway access and proximity to established businesses. Bidders should be prepared to acquire the freehold and account for VAT in addition to their offer. The council will select a preferred bidder before seeking committee authority and agreeing final legal terms.
