This UK1 Pipeline Notice is being published directly on Find a Tender to establish the Procurement Act 2023 notice record for the procurement. A UK4 Tender Notice is expected to follow shortly.

The earlier Prior Information Notice was published for advance market visibility and should be read alongside this notice. This UK1 supersedes that notice only for the purpose of establishing the Procurement Act 2023 notice sequence.

LHC Procurement Group Limited (LHCPG), acting on behalf of the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA), intends to establish the Refurbishment and Modernisation - Scotland (RM4S) Framework Agreement.

The estimated total value of works, goods and services to be delivered through the framework is £900 million, excluding VAT. This is an estimate only and does not constitute a guarantee of expenditure, work, orders or call-off contracts.

The framework will provide eligible public sector organisations throughout Scotland with a route to procure a broad range of planned and reactive refurbishment, improvement, repair, maintenance and modernisation works, together with associated goods and services, across domestic and non-domestic buildings and their surrounding external areas.

The anticipated scope includes:

painting and decorating;

electrical works;

kitchens, bathrooms and associated works;

aids and adaptations;

damp and mould investigation and remediation;

environmental and external works, including grounds maintenance;

stonework inspection, conservation, repair and maintenance;

reactive repairs and maintenance;

multi-disciplinary refurbishment, improvement, repair and maintenance works; and

the manufacture, supply and delivery of kitchens and associated products on a supply-only basis.

The framework is expected to comprise 16 Lots across 10 Workstreams. Certain Lots will be separated by anticipated call-off contract value bands. Suppliers will be able to tender for the Lots and Scottish regional areas that align with their experience, specialisms, capacity and geographical coverage.

Requirements may include planned maintenance and component replacement programmes, responsive and emergency repairs, property modernisation, compliance-led improvements, accessibility adaptations, environmental improvements, external works, estate and asset management programmes, and integrated projects requiring the coordinated delivery of multiple trades.

Works, goods and services will be supplied through individual call-off contracts awarded by eligible public sector organisations in accordance with the framework agreement. Call-off contracts may be awarded by competitive selection or direct award where permitted by the framework terms. The specific scope, quantity, value, programme, location, technical requirements and delivery arrangements will be defined by the relevant public sector organisation at call-off stage.
