### Lot Information

Lot 1

Once the transport arteries that stoked the fires of the Industrial Revolution, today Scotland's canals are home to cyclists and cafes rather than coal scows and Clydesdale horses. In the last decade, Scottish Canals has spearheaded more than 170,000 square metres of canalside development, generating 150 million GBP in economic impact and creating world-renowned tourism destinations such as The Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures, and Fort Augustus at the head of Loch Ness. Scottish Canals will assess applications on a range of factors, including experience of delivering projects.

Options: Successful organisations may be invited to participate in additional projects subject to available funds and continued interest in participation.

Renewal: The contract length will be directly related to the project proposals and the lifespan of the project. In some cases, the contract length could be in excess of ten years dependant on the type of project and the return on investment criteria.
