Cairngorms 2030 is a broad, multi-themed programme arising as part of the Cairngorms National Park Partnership Plan. The project scope is to complete RIBA Stage 3: Developed design and Stage 4: Technical design to the joint requirements of the Park Authority and The Highland Council. The bidder should note the ambition to construct by 2027/28. Stage 3 Developed design and Stage 4 Technical design will be delivered consecutively following a logical critical path, with several activities presented as “live” documents carried between stages. Within the programme, the consultant should allow ample time for client, stakeholder, and funder feedback to be compiled, reviewed, and amendments made as necessary. Some documents will benefit from a collaborative approach between the client and principal designer to ensure external funding requirements are met. The principal designer should propose a suitable means of sharing collaborative documents, such as a cloud-based sharing platform. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Aviemore North - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** cancelled - **CPV codes:** 71242000, 71311000, 71311200, 71311300, 71320000 - **Delivery regions:** UKM - **Estimated Value:** £4,200,000 - **Description:** Aviemore is the largest community in the Cairngorms National Park with a population of nearly 4000.
