Summary of the contracting process

Scape Procure Limited, trading as SCAPE, is establishing a multi-party construction framework for public sector clients. It covers construction works and related services, including building and civil engineering, repair and maintenance, property services, and architectural, engineering and inspection services. Lot 1 covers construction works and services in England. Lot 2 covers English residential construction, including decarbonisation, retrofit, repair and maintenance. Lot 3 covers construction, housing, works and services in Wales. Lots 4 and 5 cover construction and housing works and services in Northern Ireland, for projects up to £15 million and above £10 million respectively. Delivery partners will work with public sector clients, consultants and other providers, using their supply chains where appropriate.

The process has reached tender: SCAPE invited offers through a selective, competitive flexible procedure in two stages. Bidders complete a separate Procurement Specific Questionnaire and Invitation to Tender for each lot. Five bidders per lot are shortlisted for tender, with three framework places awarded per lot. The estimated framework value is £8 billion excluding VAT (£9.6 billion including VAT). Lot values excluding VAT are £4 billion, £2 billion, £1 billion, £250 million and £750 million respectively. The expression of interest deadline is 9 October 2026 at 2:00 pm; enquiries close on 2 October 2026 at noon. The award decision is due by 19 July 2027. Contracts run from 8 September 2027 to 8 September 2031, with possible extension to 7 September 2033. Each lot scores commercial model 35% and qualitative responses 65%.

This opportunity suits established construction contractors and integrated delivery organisations able to undertake major public sector works and associated professional services in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Relevant strengths include construction delivery, housing, retrofit and decarbonisation, repair and maintenance, engineering, architecture, inspection, property services and management of responsive local supply chains. Bidders need economic and technical capability and must complete the Common Assessment Standard question set alongside SCAPE-specific quality questions. Strong collaboration with clients, consultants, in-house teams and partner providers is important, as is the ability to monitor performance against comprehensive indicators. Consortia and joint ventures are accepted, allowing SMEs to participate directly or through a bidding vehicle or supply chain. The framework is designed to support SME engagement through successful bidders’ supply chains.

Planning Information

Past Market Engagement: As part of the market engagement undertaken for SCAPE's next generation Construction Works and Services Framework, SCAPE engaged with a range of organisations, including both clients and contractors. Engagement activities commenced on 4 November 2024 and are continuing through to 25 September 2026. During these engagement activities, SCAPE received strong and consistent feedback regarding the procurement strategy and requirements associated with complex environments, including the Defence sector. Stakeholders indicated that a dedicated framework for construction works and services within complex environments, such as defence estates and other critical national infrastructure settings, would be more appropriate due to the specialist expertise, requirements and operational constraints associated with these environments. SCAPE has taken great care to ensure that participation in market engagement activities does not provide any organisation with an unfair advantage. All feedback received has been considered collectively and given equal weight in informing SCAPE's ongoing review and development of its procurement strategy. Market Awareness Event: We are holding a digital market awareness event for potential bidders to learn more about the framework, including an overview of SCAPE as well as the process and timeline for procurement. We are delivering this via a webinar. The registration link and event information is available via the link below.
