## Summary

The contracting process described involves Crown Estate Scotland, a central purchasing body and review authority located in Edinburgh. The specific procurement titled "Fochabers Estate - Total Cost Management" falls under the Estate Management industry category and took place in Fochabers Estate, Moray, UK. This procurement is in the Award stage, having been signed on 13 August 2025, and utilised the open procedure procurement method under the main category of services. It involved conducting field survey work to develop a Microsoft Office Excel Whole Life Cost model, building upon a previous phase carried out in the Glenlivet estate. The contract was awarded under the framework CCS RM6168 Estate Management Services, and was valued at £599,050 GBP.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in estate management, surveying, and strategic consultancy, particularly those that can provide comprehensive cost and resource planning services. SMEs like Watts Group Limited, which was awarded the contract, can find prospects for growth by aligning their expertise with the ongoing developments and decarbonisation objectives of sizeable land and property assets. Companies capable of integrating their outputs with previous project phases and adept at long-term financial modelling and strategic advice would be well-suited to compete for such contracts.

## Notice

Crown Estate Scotland is seeking to appoint a contractor (including joint or consortia bids) to undertake survey work (field work) that will culminate in a Microsoft Office Excel Whole Life Cost model that projects the Whole Life Cost estimates for maintaining, renewing and decarbonizing the land and property assets under management. This follows on from the first phase of this programme which was carried out in the Glenlivet estate (plus Auchindoun area) and resulted in an excel based 25-year total cost model. Outputs from this next phase must be compatible with the phase 1 output. The aim of the overall project is to develop an approach and methodology that will help Crown Estate Scotland acquire a more comprehensive understanding of the longer-term costs and liabilities associated with these Estates, which will in turn support strategic resource planning, and justify future expenditure as well as a strategic approach to capital investment planning.
