## Summary

Historic Environment Scotland is managing a public procurement contract titled "Retail Shop Design & Fit-Out Framework" within the tourism, built environment, and conservation industry, located across various regions in the UK, specifically in Edinburgh and Dundee. The procurement process commenced in May 2024, and the contracts were awarded on 6 November 2024, with active contracts starting immediately. This procurement, now in the award stage, primarily follows an open procedure for works, including design, fit-out, manufacture, and installation services for retail shops. The procurement was divided into three lots with varying scopes and specifications, each evaluated based on a blend of quality (60%) and price (40%). The procurement framework allows for a contract duration of up to 48 months, including possible extensions.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in retail design, shopfitting, and construction services. It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can deliver high-quality design and fit-out services, as evidenced by the awarded contracts to multiple SME suppliers such as Nicoll Russell Studios Ltd, JCD Architects, and Bentleys Shopfitting Ltd. By securing contracts within this framework, businesses can expand their portfolio within the culturally rich and heritage-focused projects managed by Historic Environment Scotland, thus driving business growth and broader market engagement.
