Overview

Purpose, background and current position

Purpose

Replace the 1998 estate-wide irrigation system at Montrose with a modern, low-leak network capable of supporting the championship course through climate-stressed summers.

Background

Three pump failures this season have raised the prospect of green loss in extended dry weather. Three tenders were returned; CalForth Construction is the preferred bidder with a £1.42m phased programme.

Current Position

Tender outcome (d2) is with the directors. Procurement is 35% complete; phase 1 commissioning targeted for April 2027.

Next Key Milestone

Directors' decision on preferred tender — 28 Jun 2026
