This project falls under the Works category and focuses on general public services within the locality of Renfrewshire, particularly Paisley town centre. Key dates involve market consultation meetings on 24th June and 25th June 2026, with the aim of informing the procurement strategy for appointing a Designer to lead a Design and Fabrication Team. This initiative aims to develop a wayfinding programme that includes both physical and digital outputs to enhance the visitor experience ahead of the re-opening of Paisley Museum. The procurement method involves a Prior Information Notice for early engagement, set to potentially lead to a future contract notice anticipated on 6th July 2026. This procurement opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses skilled in design and fabrication. Companies specialising in urban design, digital wayfinding solutions, and public furniture will find this tender particularly relevant. The project’s scope includes designing and fabricating physical boundary markers and a digital wayfinding microsite, encouraging interest from firms that can offer integrated solutions for visual decluttering of urban spaces. Renfrewshire Council's initiative is an ideal opportunity for businesses with a track record of delivering comprehensive design projects in a public context to expand their portfolio and contribute to the increased accessibility and visitor experience of cultural sites. Businesses are encouraged to engage with the process by participating in the market engagement meetings as outlined in the notice. ## Notice As part of preparation work for a future procurement procedure, Renfrewshire Council invites interested organisations to participate in this market consultation exercise. Teams meetings will be held on Wednesday 24.06.2026 between 1400-1530hrs and Thursday 25.06.2026 1100-1230hrs. Please note these meetings are intended to last 15/20 mins. The aim of these meetings is to inform the procurement strategy and approach to a Contract for the appointment of a Designer to lead a Design and Fabrication Team and fulfil the role of Principal Designer to develop and deliver a wayfinding programme in Paisley town centre ahead of Paisley Museum re-opening. The programme will have complementary physical and digital outputs, comprising: identification of signage and street furniture to help declutter the town centre visually; fabrication and installation of up to 7 x freestanding physical boundary markers with associated seating; and creation of a wayfinding microsite, which further enhances users' wayfinding experience.
