Civil Engineering Framework (Scotland)
- Scottish Government
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-044bc5
Description
Extension of the Civil Engineering Framework (Scotland) contract by 24 months, with the option to extend a further 24 months. The justification for the framework extension is on the basis of Regulation 72 (1) (c). There is no change to framework scope or value.
A VEAT notification was published previously with a 28 day standstill period.
The extension is required due to the current level of uncertainty around funding for public civil engineering projects in Scotland within the framework's call-off value range of 5M-100M GBP. There is no certainty in terms of timelines for projects currently in the pipeline. As a result of this uncertainty, no call-offs have been undertaken and there is an inability to scope a successor arrangement to the current Civil Engineering Framework (Scotland). It is anticipated, that by extending the framework by 24 months, with the option to extend a further 24 months should uncertainty persist, this will allow for greater clarity around future pipeline and service needs. This should enable a future procurement to have an increased level of pipeline certainty and future demand.
Due to the pausing or delay of projects 2024/2025, the anticipated spend through the framework Lots has been significantly below the stated contract value within the published Contract Notice - currently no call-off contracts have been undertaken. It is anticipated that value of the Framework Contract will not exceed the original value in the Contract Notice.
The value referred to in this notice within sections V.2.4 and VII.1.6 refers to the initial value of the original framework procurement.
There is no proposed modification to the overall nature of the framework.
