The project concerns the care and repair of a historic monument, rather than routine building maintenance. The council is seeking views from experienced conservation contractors to help shape its proposed procurement approach. The work is described as Phase 1. The planned delivery location is Renfrewshire, with the monument itself identified as being in Elderslie. This is an early-stage project announcement and market engagement exercise: the council has stated its intention to procure the works, but has not yet invited tenders. The process is at planning stage. Renfrewshire Council intends to carry out the conservation works during the 2026/27 financial year and expects to issue a further notice on 16 November 2026. The current engagement is soft-market testing, intended to inform the procurement approach; interested contractors are asked to provide feedback by 4pm on 9 October 2026. This is not an invitation to tender. The work is presented as a single lot. No procurement procedure, tender evaluation criteria or estimated contract value is stated at this stage, so the eventual competition terms remain to be established following market engagement. The planned work is most relevant to contractors with experience conserving historic buildings or monuments, particularly those able to advise on how such specialist works should be procured. The council is specifically seeking feedback from suitably experienced conservation contractors, so firms with relevant project expertise can help inform the proposed approach before the tender is developed. This early engagement may suit specialist conservation businesses and contractors able to explain suitable delivery methods and market considerations. No particular accreditation, technical standard, team size or delivery capacity is set out in the current plans; suppliers should assess their fit against the monument conservation scope and be prepared to demonstrate relevant experience when a formal competition is developed. ## Notice Renfrewshire Council intends to undertake conservation works to the Wallace Monument, Elderslie during the 2026/27 financial year and is seeking feedback from suitably experienced conservation contractors to help inform the proposed procurement approach.
