## Summary

The Scottish National Memorial to David Livingstone Trust is seeking governance and legal services related to the restructuring of their Articles of Memorandum and Articles of Association. This procurement process is classified under the industry category of "Recreation, culture and religion" and is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions open until 14th March 2018. The Trust is located in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, UK, and the project is part of a larger initiative funded by a £6.1 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Scottish Government, and Historic Environment Scotland for the refurbishment of the museum. Interested suppliers should ensure their bids adhere to all specified requirements and submit them electronically by the deadline.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, particularly those with expertise in governance and non-profit sector advice. Firms that can demonstrate relevant legal qualifications and experience in restructuring governance structures would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, organisations looking to expand their portfolio in the cultural and heritage sectors may find this process particularly advantageous, given the Trust's focus on preserving and promoting the legacy of David Livingstone through the refurbishment of its museum.

## Notice

The Trust was successful in July 2017 in obtaining a GBP 6.1 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Scottish Government and Historic Environment Scotland for the Birthplace Project. This Museum Project will refurbish the Shuttle Row building, where Livingstone was born and provide a new exhibition that sheds new light on the man and his life, and conserves part of the Collection. The planning for the re-opening of the Museum in the summer of 2019 is progressing to plan. Governance and legal advice is now required by the Trust around the re-structuring of the Articles of Memorandum & Articles of Association. It will also include a review of the most appropriate structure for the Board, including a recommendation of the number of Trustees, and the sub-committees that may be required to ensure effective governance.
