Summary of the contracting process

Efficiency East Midlands Limited has procured a scaffolding services framework for its members and authorised public-sector users. The work covers scaffolding erection, dismantling and removal, together with surveys, design, ordering, inspection and handover. It applies to domestic and commercial properties, including housing, bungalows, flats, sheltered housing, garages, depots, offices, hospitals, care facilities, schools, colleges, universities, student accommodation, community and leisure facilities, libraries, public toilets and industrial premises. Lot 1 covers properties in the Midlands. Lot 2 covers properties across England and Wales. The main category is scaffolding and related repair and maintenance services (CPV 45262100).

This procurement has reached the award stage following an open procedure. Two lots were awarded separately. Lot 1, Midlands, was awarded to Another Level Scaffolding (Midlands) Limited, R.A.U.K. Scaffolding Limited, 24-7 Scaffolding Services Limited, Olympus Scaffolding Ltd, Mr.Singh Scaffoldings Limited, Aylesbury Premier Building Services Limited, Braintree Scaffolding Ltd and K Scaffolding Limited. Lot 2, National, was awarded to Braintree Scaffolding Ltd, Aylesbury Premier Building Services Limited and K Scaffolding Limited. Each lot has an awarded gross value of £207,236,842. The award date was 1 September 2026, with a standstill period ending 11 September 2026. Both contracts run from 21 September 2026 to 30 September 2030. Price counted for 60% and quality for 40%; a 1.5% award fee applies.

This framework shows recurring public-sector demand for contractors able to deliver scaffolding across housing, commercial and community property portfolios, either regionally or across England and Wales. Credible suppliers need the capacity to erect, dismantle and remove scaffolding and to support surveys, design, ordering, inspection and handover. CISRS qualification and PASMA certification for mobile tower or access-tower erection and dismantling are required. Membership of NASC, the Scaffold Association or another trade body is recommended. Strong competitors should be able to evidence relevant experience, robust health and safety arrangements, quality management, carbon reduction, sustainability and social value. They should also manage ordering, client communication, chargeable variations and non-TG20 scaffold design effectively. The evaluation demonstrates that competitive ceiling rates and demonstrable delivery quality both matter.
