Consultancy to provide Strategic Investment Model (SIM) Management Services

Crown Estate Scotland, on behalf of SOWEC, is seeking to appoint a consultancy to provide a number of management and other associated services (SIM Management Service Provider) to the SIM for an initial period of 12 months. During the first 6 months, the SIM Management Service Provider will be contracted to Crown Estate Scotland (CES) who is procuring this on behalf of the group pending the new legal entity (SIM legal vehicle) being created. Once the SIM legal vehicle has been established, it is intended that the contract with CES will be novated to the new SIM legal vehicle and will continue for the remainder of its term. If the SIM Management Service Provider has demonstrated sufficient value during this initial contract period, the expectation is that the contract will be extended for a further 12 months. The decision to extend will be solely at the discretion of the SIM legal vehicle or, if such has not yet been established, Crown Estate Scotland
