## Summary

This public procurement process, issued by Historic Environment Scotland, focuses on the "Hire of Labour in Stirling Area (Trades)" within the services industry category. It encompasses various Historic Environment Scotland locations such as Stirling Castle, Old Bridge, Mars Wark, Central Stores at Kerse Road, and Doune Castle. The procurement process started with a tender stage on 8th May 2024 and the contract was awarded on 2nd August 2024, with key activities including hand excavations, waste removal, grounds maintenance, and other trades and labouring duties. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with a significant emphasis on quality (70%) over price (30%). Multiple bids were received, with Rightmann Services winning the contract.

This tender presents an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in supply services of personnel, particularly those providing skilled tradespeople and labourers. Companies with expertise in high-quality craftsmanship, general maintenance work, and those capable of working independently will find this contract particularly suitable. Furthermore, the requirement for electronic submissions and the potential for community benefits such as local recruitment and training offer additional incentives for smaller, community-focused businesses to compete. The substantial contract period, with options for renewal, also provides a long-term engagement prospect for the winning bidder.
