## Summary

Historic Environment Scotland is currently engaged in the procurement process for the "Holyrood Lodges Letting Agent" contract, aimed at appointing an agency to manage and market three exclusive lodges within Holyrood Park as holiday lets. This public procurement falls under the services category, classified further under Conservation, Built Heritage, and Tourism. The tender is in the planning stage, with the deadline for submissions set for 27th January 2020. Located in Edinburgh, this initiative is part of the authority's efforts to develop new income streams for the organisation. The procurement method employed is an open procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for agencies that specialise in property management and marketing within the tourism sector, particularly those focusing on high-end accommodation. Businesses that excel in lodging services, have a solid financial standing, and can demonstrate superior management skills would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the exclusive nature of the lodges and projected long-term engagement—anticipated to commence in early March 2020, lasting up to five years with extensions—successful bidders could see substantial growth in their operational base and profitability.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Historic Environment Scotland is seeking to appoint an Agency to fully manage and market three exclusive lodges within the boundary of Holyrood Park as holiday lets. The New Business Team develop new income streams to support the wider work of HES, therefore it is a key performance indicator that the repurposing of these lodges for holiday letting leads to a venture that is operated as profitably as possible whilst upholding our organisational values. The lodges are in the process of being renovated and refurbished to a high-end standard with an immaculate finish. Guests will have an experience that is truly unique within the current offer of Edinburgh holiday accommodation.

Renewal: It is anticipated that this contract will commence in early March 2020. It is envisaged that the lodges will then be available as holiday lets continuously and year-round in future years, therefore a one (1) year contract, with the option of two (2) two (2) year extensions is proposed. The maximum length of the contract with extension(s) is therefore five (5) years.
