This project is categorized under the industry classification for works, specifically focused on general public services, and is part of the Rural Growth Deal. The restricted procedure is being used for this selective procurement method, with electronic submissions accepted until 3rd August 2026. The selected contractor will take on comprehensive planning and management roles, including demolition, construction, and various civil, structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical works, covering a waterfront site in Campbeltown. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction and architectural services to grow by engaging in a project that aims at boosting marine tourism and local economic development. Companies with expertise in sustainable and low-carbon construction practices will find this project particularly suited to their capabilities. In addition to direct construction opportunities, there are potential benefits for suppliers in the ancillary support services sector, such as those offering training, skills development, and materials supply needed for the construction phase. The project is designed not only to improve local infrastructure but also to enhance community engagement and participation in watersports activities. ## Notice The aims and objectives for the Rural Growth Deal - Kintyre Seasports - Demolition of Existing Sailing Club and Construction of New Facility are to: - Demolish the existing sailing club building and deliver a modern, fit for purpose seasports facility that meets current standards and demand. - Provide a high-quality, accessible and inclusive hub for watersports, training, education, and community use. - Enhance participation in water-based activities for local residents, schools, and visitors, supporting health, wellbeing, and social inclusion. - Support sustainable economic growth by strengthening Campbeltown's marine tourism offer and increasing visitor numbers. - Create opportunities for employment, vocational training, and skills development within the maritime sector. - Deliver a high-quality waterfront development that contributes to placemaking and wider town centre regeneration objectives. - Incorporate sustainable and low-carbon design principles in line with net zero targets and best practice environmental standards.
