## Summary

The North Uist Development Company is seeking bids for a feasibility study on the future use of the Lochmaddy School site, intending to evaluate its potential as an environmental centre, bunkhouse accommodation, and teaching facility. The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 25th May 2018. The total budget for this project is approximately £10,000, and the outcome of the study is expected by mid-July 2018. Interested parties can submit their proposals electronically through the Public Contracts Scotland portal.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultants, especially those in environmental planning, project management, or architectural services, to contribute innovative solutions for community development. Businesses with experience in feasibility studies, stakeholder engagement, and similar projects will be particularly well-suited to compete. The chosen contractor will engage with the North Uist Development Company throughout the study, ensuring that their insights directly influence the project outcomes.

## Notice

NUDC would like to commission a single-phase Feasibility Study for the former Lochmaddy Primary School to explore its viability as an environmental centre, bunkhouse accommodation and teaching space, primarily for courses, and the specific renovations this would entail.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

GBP 10,000 - complete cost studies and outline proposals. There is no prescribed methodology, and we would welcome the views of the consultants as to how they would carry out the work. There are, however, a number of elements which in the view of NUDC must be included: - Meet with the NUDC at the start of the project and at agreed key points as work progresses. This will include a formal review meeting once the work is complete. - Consult with each of the potential stakeholders, as agreed with NUDC, during the course of the work. - Consult with all potential future funding bodies and report on funding opportunities and requirements. - Produce a draft report of the study findings, make a presentation to NUDC, and make subsequent amendments. - Produce a final report (10 printed copies and 1 digital copy) which must include proper acknowledgement of the funder and an executive summary (max 2 pages). Copyright of both the draft and final report will belong to NUDC. A representative of the study team will be required to attend meetings of NUDC at the start and end of the study, as well as at least one other meeting part way through the project. Access to the site will be possible at any time during the contract duration by contacting NUDC in advance.
