## Summary

Dumfries and Galloway Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process for the project titled "D&GC Core Path Infrastructure Improvements New Abbey (Criffel)." This endeavour falls under the general public services category and is classified as works in the location of New Abbey, Criffel, within the UKM92 region. The project, which has an estimated value of £80,000, is focused on upland path construction and repair. As a preliminary notice is set to be published on 14th July 2025, interested parties should note the need for helicopter haulage methods due to the challenging terrain and sensitive habitat.

This upcoming tender provides an excellent growth opportunity for businesses specialising in upland path construction and environmental protection. Companies with proven expertise in similar terrain and the ability to transport materials using helicopter haulage would be well-suited to compete. The infrastructure improvements require specific skills in constructing stone features such as pitched steps and water bars, making it an attractive opportunity for firms with capabilities in sustainable construction practices and precision engineering within outdoor environments.
