## Summary

The Shetland Islands Council initiated a procurement process for the refurbishment of the Janet Courtney Hostel in Lerwick, Shetland. The procurement involves architectural services and the appointment of a principal designer, which is critical for this development under the Construction Regulations 2015. The procurement method selected is a restricted procedure, ensuring a competitive selection process. Initially issued on 11th March 2025, the tender had a submission deadline of 11th April 2025, with potential invitation dates for the second stage set for 22nd April 2025. Although this procurement stage reached the award phase by 30th March 2026, it concluded unsuccessfully, implying that the services contract was not awarded.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in architectural design and project management within the public services sector. Companies that have a proven track record in managing large-scale refurbishment projects, possess the necessary technical expertise, and can meet financial requirements are well-suited to compete. The involvement of the Shetland Islands Council as the buying organisation suggests a stable contract governed by Scots Law, which could lead to potential long-term collaborations for successful bidders. The restricted procurement method indicates a strategic approach, targeting specific suppliers who can deliver high-quality services, thus benefitting businesses that can meet stringent selection and performance criteria.
