## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "Design and Delivery of the Clydesdale Way Project" as part of the Scotland Excel Engineering and Technical Consultancy Framework, Lot 9. The initiative, under the main procurement category of services, was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically through a restricted procedure. This project aims to create a comprehensive network of walking and cycling routes within South Lanarkshire and extend these connections to the neighbouring regions of Scottish Borders, Ayrshire, and Dumfries & Galloway. The procurement stage was at the 'Award' phase as of April 2025, with the contract signed on 17th March 2025. The awarded amount for this venture is £702,762.00. The buying authority, South Lanarkshire Council, is based in Hamilton, UK, and the key contact is Rachael Lyon.

This project presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms offering engineering consultancy and project management services. Companies like Turner and Townsend, a large-scale organisation, were suited for this tender due to their capability to deliver comprehensive professional services from RIBA stages 3 to 6. The Clydesdale Way Project supports community and tourism development, thus opening doors for businesses specialising in infrastructure, tourism, and local service enhancements. With a focus on environmental protection and outdoor recreation, businesses contributing to sustainable economic growth and community benefits will find this type of contract beneficial. The inclusion of community benefits in the requirement also offers companies a chance to positively impact the local communities, enhancing their corporate social responsibility initiatives.

## Notice

South Lanarkshire Councils Community and Enterprise Resources, Enterprise and Sustainable Development Services had a requirement to appoint a suitable specialist project manager led, multidisciplinary team to design the Clydesdale Way project. The Clydesdale Way ("the Project") will connect existing walking and cycling routes along the Clyde, Tweed and Annan Rivers within South Lanarkshire to form a network of circular routes and associated infrastructure, and will extend for over 200 kilometers, connecting walking and cycle links with neighbouring local authorities in the Scottish Borders, Ayrshire and Dumfries & Galloway, creating a complete network of local, regional, and national routes and linking to the existing long-distance pathways. The aim is to connect the Clyde Walkway to the Southern Upland Way, the River Ayr Way and the John Buchan Way, utilising the existing local path network and regional cycle routes and creating a network of circular routes. The Project will create path networks to transform access and connectivity within and between the communities of Leadhills, Abington, Douglas, Biggar, Broughton and New Lanark, and significantly add to the Council's path network and visitor infrastructure. The Project will provide new path/cycleway connections creating opportunities for outdoor recreation to support place, tourism and local community needs. The Project will bring economic benefits to each of the above communities and those smaller communities along the path route. This Project forms part of the 'Three Rivers Active Tourism Project' to be delivered by Dumfries and Galloway Council, Scottish Borders and the Council for which Dumfries and Galloway Council, as the lead partner, has secured UK Government Levelling Up Grant Funding ("LUF Funding"). The appointed consultant will manage and deliver all Professional Services of the Project from RIBA Stages 3 to 6
