## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council has undertaken a tender process for the construction of the Great Tapestry of Scotland museum at Tweedbank, UK, aimed at creating a prominent visitor attraction of architectural significance. The procurement method used was selective, following a restricted procedure, although the contract has been marked as complete with an award notice indicating that the project status is unsuccessful and discontinued. Relevant dates include the tender initiation on 30th April 2018, with efforts now directed towards a new location for the centre in Galashiels, as decided by local authorities and the Scottish Government.

This procurement opportunity could significantly foster business growth within the construction sector, particularly for companies specialising in museum design, building works, and public architecture. Businesses that have experience in creating high-quality cultural venues will find this tender especially relevant, even though the initial contract has been cancelled; it indicates the ongoing need for such projects in the region. Suppliers who can adapt to new requirements as project plans evolve may also benefit from future opportunities arising from this initiative.

## Notice

Scottish Borders Council (SBC) has recently committed to the delivery of a new building on land owned by Scottish Borders Council at Tweedbank that will provide the permanent home for the Great Tapestry of Scotland. The new Great Tapestry of Scotland Museum will be a high class visitor attraction and an asset of architectural importance to the Borders. It will provide a properly designed solution for displaying the Tapestry and be an instantly recognisable setting to hold Local and International events.
