## Summary

The Green Action Trust is currently running a procurement process for the Methil Mill Feasibility Study in Leven, Fife. The study seeks to explore the potential for reopening Methil Mill and is a key part of The Leven Programme. The procurement is in the active stage with a tender deadline of 7th March 2023, and the estimated value is £20,000. The procurement method is an open procedure in the services category.

This tender presents an opportunity for consultants or Heritage Organisations experienced in archaeological investigations and community engagement. Organisations should be equipped to conduct feasibility works including desk based research, surveys, assessments, and report production. The successful bidder will contribute to the reopening of Methil Mill as part of a significant heritage project potentially funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.

## Notice

Green Action Trust (GATrust), acting on behalf of The Leven Programme, seek to engage a consultant or Heritage Organisation to undertake feasibility works and explorative archaeological investigations into Methil Mill and establish the potential for reopening it. If recommended, the re-opening of the Mill will form part of a Stage 2 application to the National Heritage Lottery Fund and will happen during the Delivery Phase of the project. The study should, therefore, also provide details on the works needed that will form part of a second commission.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

During the development of both the Leven Catchment Heritage Framework and Leven Connectivity Masterplan, Methil Mill has been identified as a key piece of heritage to be celebrated and interpreted as part of the Connectivity project and River Parks Project. It is referenced in the concept design for the Methil Garden area and is still visible in a clearing in the regenerating woodland. During the Development phase of the NLHF funded River Parks project, a feasibility study and investigations into the options for reopening the Mill will take place, providing recommendations and options for a Delivery Phase project that brings the Mill back to life, re-engage the community and is celebrated for locals and visitors alike. Tenders should be prepared that detail the methods and tools that the organisation will use to undertake the feasibility study and establish the recommendations of opening the Mill. This could include (but not necessarily limited to): Desk based research Geophysical surveys Geomorphological mapping Sediment coring Topographical surveys Archaeological assessments (including trial excavations if deemed appropriate) Process and interpretation of results Production of a feasibility report with recommendations for next steps to incorporate into the NLHF stage 2 application Community involvement is an important element of the project, and we invite tenders that include proposals for community engagement and volunteer participation. We can facilitate this through the Partnership, and our Leven Engagement Officer and Leven Communities Officer who already have good contacts within the community and local heritage groups.
