This procurement, classified under the 'Recreation, culture and religion' industry category, is located in Renfrewshire, UK. The procurement process is at the tender stage, organised through a selective method under a restricted procedure. Business entities interested in participating must submit their electronic bids by 17:00 on 15 August 2025. The Design Team will need to collaborate closely with the Trust, particularly during the planning stages and listed building consent phases. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for firms in the architecture and design sector, especially those experienced with historical building conversions and engaging with community-driven projects. The selected team will help develop flexible, community-oriented spaces, offering potential growth for businesses skilled in heritage conservation, sustainable design, and delivering public engagement plans. With the procurement aiming to transition through RIBA stages 0-3, companies adept at securing planning approvals and fostering community ties are well-suited to compete and contribute to this significant community development initiative. ## Notice The primary aim of this project is to save Lochwinnoch's Category A-Listed Parish Church; repairing and restoring this vacant building and creatively reimagining its purpose that will benefit the whole community. The newly refurbished and developed Parish Church building will form a flexible and welcoming community centre, performance and life events venue for all generations. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Lochwinnoch Community Development Trust (LCDT)have recently completed the purchase of the site from the Church of Scotland with support from the Scottish Land Fund.
