## Summary

The procurement process for the management services at 'The Centre Cumbernauld' was initiated by North Lanarkshire Council, a regional authority in the United Kingdom. This contract falls within the real estate services industry category and promises substantial opportunities for businesses in the sector. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with a tender document identifier of NLC-CPT-24-044. The procurement process is part of a broader plan for the regeneration of Cumbernauld town centre, which involves a staged demolition scheduled to complete between 2031 and 2033. The initial stage of planning was communicated in August 2024, with a subsequent award made to Gatehouse Property Management in September 2025. North Lanarkshire Council's ambitious plans aim to transform the town centre over several years, necessitating ongoing management until the site's vacancy.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in real estate and property management services. With the redevelopment running until approximately 2033, there are long-term prospects for companies experienced in managing transitions and relocations, marketing available units, and maintaining properties. SMEs, in particular, could harness this contract to reinforce their market position, especially those with expertise in commercial property management, strategic asset management, and those who can offer comprehensive property services responding to the planned changes. With the need for innovative solutions in modular village construction and tenant relocation plans, there is ample room for creativity and expansion for businesses involved in real estate and facility management.

## Notice

In March 2020, North Lanarkshire Council approved the publication of its draft Town Visions recognising Cumbernauld, the largest town within the local authority area, as one of the major towns that should form part of its core investment programme for 'The Place - The Vision' for North Lanarkshire. Considering the town's strategic location and its town status,Cumbernauld has become a recognised commercial location with a mix offering business parks, industrial accommodation and retail shops. However, the town centre is largely retail dominated by the 'the Centre Cumbernauld, Cumbernauld Shopping Centre' (known jointly as 'The Centre Cumbernauld' (TCC)) together with the more modern Antonine Centre, along with two large office blocks and a further education college. This mix is no longer fit for purpose and does not meet the needs and aspirations of residents, many of whom now travel to nearby Glasgow or Stirling to shop, bypassing the TCC which many considered a blot on the urban landscape. TCC was built in the 1960 / 70s and occupies an extensive site in the middle of Cumbernuald town centre. Formed on either side of a major public road (Central Way/A8011) and connected by overhead pedestrian foot bridge / walkway, it extends to over 5 hectares in size including car parks. However, a lack of investment over several years has meant that the centre itself is in relatively poor condition (requiring extensive repairs and improvement if it was to be retained as an operational asset in the longer-term). The Council acquired the TCC in June 2023 in order to unlock transformational regeneration of Cumbernauld town centre and kick start the redevelopment of a mixed-use town centre space that will incorporate a Town Hub. This redevelopment will also stimulate private sector housing delivery, assembling land for residential use, enable development of much needed new homes and will contribute towards the regeneration of Cumbernauld into one of the eight towns recognised in North Lanarkshire Town Visions.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

In order for the redevelopment to proceed, TCC will have to be rundown gradually and ultimately demolished. Demolition is likely to be completed over two stages with Stage 1 scheduled for 2027 and Stage 2 commencing between 2031 and 2033. This means that the centre will continue to operate over the next 7 to 8 years albeit that it will be on a reducing floor area. TCC continues to operate whilst the Council develops its plans and has continued to be managed on the Council's behalf by companies put in place by the previous owner. To allow for the demolition of the centre the Council are looking at options for the construction of a 'modular village' in order for the existing tenants to relocate. As retail and commercial space is very limited in Cumbernauld town centre there's not a sufficient supply of alternative units to accommodate all of the businesses from TCC. The proposed modular village could be situated on one of two identified sites within the town centre and work is progressing on the development of the feasibility study and costs. It is anticipated that any modular village development would have an onsite management office and be included in the management responsibilities of the appointed asset and property management agents. It is envisaged that the long-term asset and property management agent will be in place by Autumn 2025 and the contract will run until the centre is fully vacant around 2031 - 2033 depending on demolition programming. Therefore, and in addition to the existing services provided by the Asset and Property Manager, future services required include those currently provided within the short-term agreements (as above) whilst introducing elements including but not limited to - managing new and existing leases including rent reviews, rent collection and arrears and debt recovery - day-to-day management of the centre including security and cleaning - marketing available units - assisting with relocation of existing tenants within the centre - maintenance of the centre including undertaking capital expenditure if required - preparing financial statements - preparing monthly management reports - attending relevant meetings Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Renewal: The Council intends to include an additional 4 x 12 month extension periods which can be utilised should circumstances arise that such an extension is required.
