## Summary

The procurement process for the 'Cairngorm – strategy, options appraisal, delivery solutions and business case development' contract has been completed by Highlands and Islands Enterprise, located in Inverness, UK. The tender, falling under the services industry category, was conducted through an open procedure and pertains to a three-year contract, with a potential extension of two additional one-year terms. The contract was awarded for a total value of £350,000, and the date of signing was 16th September 2019. Key aspects of the procurement included support in stakeholder engagement and development of business cases and strategies.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in management consultancy and strategic services, particularly those with expertise in stakeholder engagement and business case development. Given that only one bid was submitted, businesses that are well-versed in similar projects may find this a less competitive environment. The experience and scale of potential suppliers, like RSM UK Tax and Accounting Limited, who were awarded the contract, should also be considered by businesses seeking to understand competition in this field.
