What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionOn behalf of THC, HLH wish to appoint a commercial partner to design and operate a unique whisky experience within the North Tower of Inverness Castle that celebrates and resonates with the ‘Spirit of the Highlands’ theme. The word partnership is used deliberately to highlight from the outset that the nature of this contract must be collaborative. At this stage in the project there is the opportunity to add specialist expertise in the whisky sector to the existing design and creative teams to further enhance the quality and breadth of the visitor experience at the Castle.
