### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Mining Ahead Project is an exciting opportunity for the National Mining Museum Scotland Trust (NMMST) to create a new strategic framework for the next ten years that will include the commissioning of: -Strategic Plan -Business Plan -Asset Strategy -Conservation and Maintenance Plan. NMMST wishes to commission consultants to allow the Trust to set out its new ambitions for the future. These ambitions would be set out in a new Strategic Plan, a new Business Plan to help NMMS become more financially sustainable and an Asset Strategy to help NMMS understand and manage all of its physical assets with consideration of a rationalisation of the estate. The assets (in terms of buildings) are extensive and are maintenance-heavy, with some urgently requiring conservation. It is hoped that a Conservation and Maintenance Plan will provide the framework to enable NMMST to take forward recommendations from a recent Condition Survey (2016). Furthermore, in the long term NMMST will pursue significant capital development of the estate and these studies will assist with this process. This is a significant project and very important to the Trust and the museum itself. As a valued asset in celebrating the industrial heritage of Scotland, this project should help the museum safeguard its future going forward, enabling the museum to remain relevant for future generations.
