The project falls under the industry category of works and focuses on the sustainable development of the former Interfloor Factory Site in Heathhall, Dumfries, located in the UKM92 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction, redevelopment, and mixed-use projects to grow by engaging with Dumfries and Galloway Council on a historically significant site. Firms specialising in innovation, buildability, affordability, and market capability are well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in converting listed buildings and managing large-scale brownfield developments. It is an excellent opportunity for companies seeking to leverage their expertise in creating sustainable and diverse community spaces to engage in a high-profile regional project.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

As part of the process to scope the potential in this project DGC anticipate interested parties to participate in preliminary market research activity in relation innovation scope, scale, buildability, affordability, and market capability.
