two.2.4) Description of the procurement
Camanachd Square is an area near the centre of Portree, Isle of Skye which serves as a hub for sports and recreation. Community facilities in this area generally suffer from a lack of maintenance or development.
Portree and Braes Commmunity Trust (PBCT) believe that there is potential to maximise the benefit of relevant lands and buildings to the community under ownership of the trust. An options appraisal, masterplan and associated business plan are now being commissioned to assess development options and ultimately unlock opportunities for the trust and other stakeholders to deliver a phased regeneration of Camanachd Sqaure.
The commission is divided into two parts:
PART 1 - Options Appraisal
The Options Appraisal will involve a detailed study of the site, its ownership, occupancy, existing and potential uses, layouts and configuration. Then considering community aspirations and potential development opportunities, suggest and assess the options available to PBCT. Specifically, this study will:
Identify zoning of activity
Encourage efficient use of resources
Identify key issues and constraints
Identify practical ideas and options to deliver the requirements
Define the benefits of each proposed use. Benefits should be defined as: financial, social, economic, environmental
Provide instruction to proceed or not to proceed to part 2.
PART 2 - Master Plan
Following this analysis process and instruction from the Board as regards which option is to be developed into an overall Masterplan and Business Plan for Camanachd Square, consultants will:
Develop a physical Masterplan
Prepare an outline cost of the development, as well as outline cost and revenue implications
Identify any phasing of the various sub-projects within the overall development to facilitate investment (e.g., secure grant funding within available timing, land preparation, etc.)
