Kirkcowan Community Development Trust (KCDT) is the local anchor organisation, founded in 2015 with the primary purpose of developing and delivering projects using windfarm money, along with distributing these funds to other community organisations active in the area. KCDT has an active Board of Directors, which also includes representatives drawn from the Community Council. KCDT last undertook and in-house community action planning process in 2019-2020 with the resulting Action Plan covering 2020-2025. This is now expiring, and the Board is keen to assess progress and open a new community-wide conversation about priorities for the next 3-5-year period. This will enable KCDT to maximise the opportunity provided by community benefit funds it receives and identify where resource and additional funding may be required. If you are interested, please submit your tender response to sam@foundationscotland.org.uk by 5pm on the 30th June 2025. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN531830 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 5 Jun 2025 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 14 Jul 2025 - 30 Nov 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £12,000 | | Lots value | £12,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOUNDATION SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8DL | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | TLM92 Dumfries and Galloway | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community ## Release History - 5 Jun 2025 at 00:00 - Tender - PCS Notice - Website Contract Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN531830 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/NoticeDownload/DownloadDocument.aspx?id=JUN531830&idx=1 5th June 2025 - Kirkcowan Community Development Trust Invitation to Tender - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN531830 Tender Opportunity - Kirkcowan Community Development Trust - Community Action Plan - Kirkcowan Community Development Trust seek to appoint an independent expert to design and facilitate a community planning process and produce a new Community Action Plan.
