North Lanarkshire Council- Cumbernauld Shopping Centre

During this webinar, our SDP expert trainer will show you- as a bidder that is interested in this contract opportunity , how to register/ login to Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) and search for this contract notice. We will follow the buyer instructions, to record an interest in this opportunity and access the tender documents within Public Contracts Scotland-tender (PCS-t). We will then spend time on the Single Procurement Document (SPD) and access all the Buyer attachments. Also explain how to use the Q&A functionality, which is the best way to communicate with the buyer during the tender process plus demonstrate how to upload attachments or supporting documents to PCS-tender. Please note that this training is subject to the publication of the live tender docs.

In March 2020, North Lanarkshire Council approved the publication of its draft Town Visions recognising Cumbernauld, the largest town within the local authority area, as one of the major towns that should form part of its core investment programme for ‘The Place – The Vision’ for North Lanarkshire.

In order for the redevelopment to proceed the Centre Cumbernauld will have to be rundown gradually and ultimately demolished. Demolition is likely to be completed over two stages with Stage 1 scheduled for 2027 and Stage 2 commencing between 2031 and 2033.

This means that the centre will continue to operate over the next 7 to 8 years albeit that it will be on a reducing floor area. TCC continues to operate whilst the Council develops its plans and has continued to be managed on the Council’s behalf by companies put in place by the previous owner.

To enable the Council to meet its legal obligations and in order to demonstrate Best Value for TCC whilst it is still operational, the Council are developing an approach to appoint a long-term management solution which shall be competitively procured.
