## Summary

The procurement process involves the Scottish Rural College (SRUC), based in Edinburgh, which is seeking a Lead Construction Project Manager for its Dairy Nexus project. This initiative falls under the Higher Education and Research category and aims to enhance the dairy sector's innovation and sustainability. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the tender period having ended on 26 May 2021. The project has a total budget of £8 million, backed by UK and Scottish Governments, and aims to progress through several stages, contingent on the approval of a full business case.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction management, particularly those with experience in the further and higher education sectors focused on biological and animal sciences. Companies equipped to support the Dairy Nexus project and navigate its complex requirements are encouraged to participate. Given the project's scale and potential for future phases, this is an excellent chance for organisations aiming to contribute to advancements in the dairy industry while fostering regional growth.

## Notice

To support the construction of the Dairy Nexus and its component parts we require the services of a professional Construction Project Manager (PM), preferably with experience in the FE/HE sector with emphasis on biological sciences, animal sciences and the environment. The initial phase of the Dairy Nexus project will focus on RIBA Stage 1 which includes the completion of a feasibility study for inclusion in the Full Business Case that will be submitted to the UK and Scottish Governments. Progression to concept design and subsequent stages will be subject to approval of this Full Business Case by both Governments.
