Work is now underway on all properties with the first phase of condition surveys already complete.
Scottish Natural Heritage has also been in discussions with the Forestry Commission for Scotland to consider sharing resources and maintenance on buildings in selected regions, which will also be brought into the scope of the contract.
The contract was awarded to Knight Frank following a public notice and competitive tender. Doug Garden, partner, Knight Frank has been instrumental in securing the contract. He said: “We are delighted to be selected by Scottish Natural Heritage to advise and assist with its planned maintenance strategy and programme.
“Our experience with Royal Mail stood us in very good stead for this tender as we currently provide a planned maintenance service across the majority of Scotland for the company.
“We look forward to working with Scottish Natural Heritage over the next three years to preserve its diverse property portfolio.”
