### Lot Information

Lot 1

Crown Estate Scotland is seeking to appoint a specialist for a one-off contract to undertake a socio-economic assessment study of the contribution Shetland marinas make to sustainable development goals in Scotland. The main objectives are to: - Research, quantify and report on the contribution the Shetland marina tenants make to economic development on a local, regional, and national scale. - Research, quantify and report on the contribution the Shetland marina tenants make to social wellbeing on a local, regional, and national scale. Further information on the two sustainability goals listed above and their application in the context of the Scottish Crown Estate can be found in section 4 of the Scottish Government's Strategic Management Plan for Crown Estate Scotland . The successful bidder will be expected to gather new data from Shetland marina tenants and other key stakeholders alongside 'desk based' research. The final report should include the method and rationale for the data collection and conclusions reached, and a statistical analysis with confidence levels. The total number of marina leases in Shetland is 19, the tenants are largely non-commercial Users' Associations. Thirteen have leases which expire in March 2023, but this socio-economic study should report on the sustainable development contribution made by all Shetland marinas.
