Summary of the contracting process

LHC, acting for the Scottish Procurement Alliance, established a Scotland-wide construction framework for public-sector housing and related development. The scope covers design-and-build and build-only delivery of low-rise, medium-rise and high-rise homes, flats, apartments, mixed-use schemes, key-worker and temporary accommodation, care homes, extra-care, sheltered and assisted living housing. It also includes refurbishment, conversions, extensions, adaptations, rooftop developments, low-energy and net-zero-carbon buildings, development agreements and land purchases. Separate workstreams cover groundworks, drainage, roads, utilities, civil engineering, infrastructure, demolition, decontamination, site clearance and enabling works. Framework users include Scottish local authorities, housing organisations, health bodies, schools, universities, colleges, emergency services and charities. Delivery is across Scotland, with regional coverage within the framework.

This is a completed restricted-procedure framework procurement, evaluated through a selective process. It was divided into workstreams and regional/value-band lots covering housing sites from up to 9 units to over 100 units, care housing up to and over 65 dwellings, buildings up to 11m, 11m–30m and over 30m, refurbishment up to and over £2m, groundworks up to and over £2m, and demolition and site enabling works up to and over £750,000. The framework commenced on 1 August 2022 and was originally set for 48 months; later contract records show extensions of 1,680 and 1,800 days. Contracts were signed on 11 July 2022. The recorded value is £500m for each framework contract. Awards were made across the lots to multiple construction, demolition and groundworks suppliers, including Bancon, CCG, Clark Contracts, Galliford Try, McTaggart, Robertson, Advance Construction and Dem-Master. Evaluation weighted technical capability at 60%, regional capability at 20% and price at 20%.

This framework demonstrates sustained Scottish public-sector demand for housing construction, specialist care accommodation, refurbishment and enabling works through regional call-offs and mini-competitions. Credible competitors would need to deliver either full design-and-build or build-only construction, depending on the requirement, with capacity matched to different dwelling volumes, building heights and project value bands. Relevant evidence includes comparable case studies, project and risk management, construction-phase health and safety, customer service, cost planning, handover and supply-chain management. Regional experience is important. Required credentials included ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification, or accepted equivalents, plus a minimum 10-year NHBC or equivalent warranty for new-build work; 12 years could be required for rental properties. Demolition specialists needed NFDC or NDA membership. Contractors also had to support performance reporting, social value and community benefits.
