## Summary

The SRUC (Scotland's Rural College) is seeking to enhance rural enterprise through the "Provision of Design Team Services for SRUC’s Rural Veterinary Hub" located at the Inverness Campus in the Highlands of Scotland. The project, classified under architectural services, is currently complete, having undergone an open procurement process. The necessary contract was signed on 7 January 2021, following an award to Threesixty Architecture. This initiative was supported by European Structural Funds, indicating a substantial investment in local economic growth, particularly from 1 October until the 7 January 2021 contract signing.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for firms specialising in architectural and design services, especially those with expertise in sustainable and innovative solutions for rural enterprises. With a focus on quality, the selection criteria favour businesses with proven professional ability and a strong methodology. Companies that are adaptable and can demonstrate success in similar projects or have member qualifications from recognised professional bodies are particularly well-positioned to compete, as it is an ideal platform for growth in the rapidly evolving landscape of rural services in Scotland.

## Notice

With funding support from ERDF and to be located on Highlands and Islands Enterprise's Inverness Campus, the Rural Veterinary Hub will have a holistic remit that embraces both the people and the environment in which rural enterprises operate; including zoonoses (animal diseases that transmit to humans) and aspects of climate change all of which have a significant effect on the rural and local business economy of the North of Scotland. SRUC's Consulting and Veterinary Services will co-locate to the Hub in order to help bridge the relationship between industry and research, so promoting innovative new approaches in existing and new rural SME businesses.
