Summary of the contracting process

The plan will set a strategy for the partnership’s work during the initiative’s delivery and guide the development of interpretation within it. It must follow National Lottery guidance for interpretation and be developed with partners and stakeholders. The work will draw on existing material: a brand options appraisal, communications plan and key message, audience and stakeholder mapping, the Nature Routes Places Study and the Long Distance Routes Study. This is a consultancy service for the National Park Authority, with delivery associated with Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

The authority invited offers through an open procedure for one lot. The procurement reached the tender stage; bids were to be submitted electronically. The submission deadline was 16 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC, with the award period scheduled to begin at that time. The estimated contract value is £25,000. The contract period is 150 days. Bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline, and variants are not permitted. The stated evaluation criteria are not described in the available procurement details. The authority requires the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. An option for related activity is reserved.

This opportunity is suited to consultants with experience in interpretation planning and the ability to turn a range of existing research and plans into a coherent strategy. Bidders should be able to work collaboratively with the initiative’s partners and stakeholders, and understand the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s interpretation guidance. The work also calls for the ability to use brand, communications, audience and stakeholder material alongside studies of nature routes, places and long-distance routes. A consultancy team may be appropriate where it brings together the planning, research and facilitation skills needed for this combination of inputs. The authority requires bidders to identify the staff assigned to delivery and provide their qualifications. The work is a defined single-lot assignment with scope for related activity.
