SCAPE Scotland Construction Works & Services Framework

Procurement Status: Contract Notice issued

Framework Overview

SCAPE Scotland’s next generation Construction Works & Services Framework will provide public sector organisations across Scotland with a compliant, accelerated route to market for the delivery of construction projects. Building on a strong track record of delivery, the framework has been strategically developed to reflect the increased use of the framework, promote early contractor involvement and diversify the SCAPE Scotland framework offering.

The framework offers access to a comprehensive range of construction services, including new build, refurbishment, retrofit and improvement programmes, alongside a dedicated housing offer designed to guarantee a clear and reliable route to housing delivery, enabling clients to progress projects with confidence and pace from early feasibility through to construction.

Operating on an immediate access basis and supported by parallel lots, early contractor involvement and free viability studies, the framework prioritises collaboration, predictability of outcomes and efficient timescales. Active framework management, embedded governance, a commitment to social impact and an attractive commercial model ensures the framework delivers more than procurement alone - providing clients with ongoing support, improved outcomes and long-term value for money.

Key Framework Features:

  • Framework value: £4bn
  • Framework duration: 4 years with option to extend for 2 years
  • Up to 7 delivery partners
  • Construction services serving all sectors, including education, defence, blue light, health, sports and leisure, offices, civic buildings and industrial, commercial and retail, housing, new build and refurbishment.
