This project relates to services within the charity sector, specifically focusing on the conservation and management of significant cultural and natural heritage sites located in Unst and Yell. The tender period is active, with submissions accepted until 5th July 2022 at 12:00 BST, and bid opening scheduled for the same day at 13:00 BST at a designated location in Edinburgh. This tender presents an opportunity for companies specialising in conservation management, landscape restoration, and community engagement, particularly those with experience in charitable or heritage projects. Businesses adept at managing multi-phase projects covering environmental and cultural heritage are well-suited to compete, as the role aims to enhance visitor experiences while stabilising and interpreting the historical and ecological significance of the Halligarth House and its surroundings. ## Notice Standing at the most northerly point of the British Isles are the islands of Unst & Yell. Set amongst the wild landscape of Shetland, much of the land cared for by the National Trust for Scotland (the Trust) reflects the incredibly rich natural and cultural heritage of the islands. At its core is Halligarth House and Designed Landscape on Unst, the former home of the Saxby and Edmonston families, a local dynasty of physicians and natural scientists who wrote works on the birds of Shetland and pioneered conservation work on the islands. In 1998, the Trust was gifted eight parcels of land on Unst, several properties, the Island of Daaey, and one parcel of land on Yell by Miss I.D.J Sandison. In May 1999, the Trust agreed to declare parts of Unst & Yell inalienable, in accordance with the wishes of the donor. ### Lot Information Lot 1 A 3 phase project sets out a renewed approach for conservation management and the visitor experience. 1. Stabilise the condition and appearance of the house and immediate landscape. Improving woodland and public spaces and updating interpretation to create better access for local users and visitors from further afield. 2. Develop and agree a plan for use of the house. 3. Develop and agree plan for collections which are from various properties across Miss Sanderson's estate, eclectic in nature and currently stored across multiple sites on both Shetland and the mainland. The overarching interpretive Big Idea of: Halligarth's citizen scientists - past, present and future will provide the narrative to reengaging both community and public Defined as the practice of public participation and collaboration in scientific research to increase scientific knowledge, citizen science is at the core of Halligarth's significance: members of the Edmonston and Saxby families were not trained naturalists, but they made original contributions to scientific research through practicing citizen science, highlighting its value, and demonstrating how people of all ages and backgrounds can learn skills to observe and record the natural world. Taking this as a focus for interpretation intertwines several strands of significance: it is a conduit through which people can engage with the heritage of Unst & Yell and the story of Halligarth's former owners; and, by researching, monitoring and recording themselves, through their contributions visitors become important partners in supporting its protection. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN451166 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 14 Jun 2022 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL TRUST FOR SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH11 4DF | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Sighthill/Gorgie | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM66 Shetland Islands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71242000 - Project and design preparation, estimation of costs ## Release History - 14 Jun 2022 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN451166 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN451166&idx=1 14th June 2022 - Tender Document - Project Development Manager - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN451166 NTS Project Development Manager - Shetland - Standing at the most northerly point of the British Isles are the islands of Unst & Yell.
