Renfrewshire Council intends to build a new primary school in Dargavel Village, Bishopton. The new primary school will have capacity for 800 pupils. It is proposed that the school should be a low energy building and the project will aim to achieve set energy and cost metrics.
The Council is developing a procurement strategy and would like to conduct market consultation with contractors interested in the potential opportunity to tender for the Main Contractor appointment.
Initial engagement will be via the attached questionnaire. If following completion and submission of the questionnaire potential bidders would like a one-to-one discussion with the project team, the Council would be happy to facilitate these via MS Teams.

Completed questionnaires should be returned to joanna.tannock@renfrewshire.gov.uk by close of business on Friday 11 August 2023.
