Tarbert Heritage Scheme Design Team Framework
Framework Description
The Tarbert Heritage Scheme Design Team Framework is Argyll and Bute Council's single-consultant framework for a conservation-accredited design team. The Tarbert Heritage Scheme offers grants to property owners to revitalise key buildings in Tarbert's village core, and the appointed team supports owners with structural and external repairs to historic buildings and shopfronts. It has a single lot.
Context & Use Case
The council and grant-funded property owners in Tarbert use the appointed team to design and specify repairs that meet conservation standards, so that grant-aided work protects the village's historic character. One consultant across the scheme keeps the approach consistent from building to building and gives owners a single point of contact.
Scope of Services
Conservation-accredited design team services Structural repairs to historic buildings External repairs to historic buildings Shopfront repairs Support to property owners within the Tarbert Heritage Scheme
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
This is a single-consultant framework, suited to architects, surveyors and design teams with conservation accreditation and experience of grant-funded heritage schemes. With one consultant appointed, other firms cannot join; check the notice on Public Contracts Scotland for the current stage of the procurement.
Buyer Benefits
Heritage grant schemes depend on repairs that funders and planners accept, so the council values a team with conservation accreditation and knowledge of traditional construction. A single appointment simplifies coordination with many individual property owners and keeps design quality even across the village.
Next Steps
Read the Argyll and Bute Council notice on Public Contracts Scotland (SEP564247) to confirm the procurement stage. If you are not appointed, look for similar town heritage and conservation area schemes from Scottish councils, and build a portfolio of conservation repair projects, accredited staff and grant-funded work to evidence next time.
