The planned works concern two sites, at Bishopton Road and Monydrain, which are intended to bring services from across Lochgilphead together on those sites. A feasibility study has been completed to RIBA Stage 2 for their development. This is a construction project involving the development and modernisation of depot facilities, rather than the supply of depot equipment alone. The council is the buyer, and delivery is planned in Lochgilphead. The process is at the planning stage: the council has described its intention to procure, but has not invited tenders. It is structured as one lot covering the development of both Lochgilphead sites. The council expects the next notice to be published on 15 March 2027; this is an indicative planning date, not a tender response deadline. No procedure, procurement method, contract value or delivery period is stated at this stage. The stated procurement category is works. The process is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The description sets out the project context and the feasibility work completed to RIBA Stage 2, but gives no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements. This project is likely to suit construction and building contractors with the capability to develop or modernise depot facilities, particularly those able to undertake work across two sites and coordinate the consolidation of services. The feasibility study has reached RIBA Stage 2, so suppliers may find it useful to prepare for work developing the proposals beyond that stage. The council's stated aim is to rationalise its roads depot estate and combine services from across Lochgilphead at Bishopton Road and Monydrain. This provides a clear indication of the project's operational purpose and local delivery setting. The planning information does not set out required accreditations, minimum capacity or past experience, so suppliers should treat these as matters to check when fuller procurement information is issued. ## Notice Argyll and Bute Council are carrying out a Roads Depot Rationalisation project across the whole estate. As part of this wider project, a feasibility study has been undertaken to RIBA stage 2 for the development of two sites in Lochgilphead at Bishopton Road and Monydrain to combine services from across Lochgilphead onto these two sites. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Argyll and Bute Council are carrying out a Roads Depot Rationalisation project across the whole estate.
