Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Public Buildings Construction and Infrastructure framework is managed by LHC, a central purchasing body acting on behalf of contracting authorities in England, Wales, and Scotland. This framework, focused on the construction industry, covers a wide array of building projects including education, healthcare, emergency services, sports facilities, and more. The procurement stage is currently under contract updates and award updates as of 10 April 2026, reflecting ongoing management and updates to the framework that initially began on 1 October 2021, with an intended conclusion on 30 April 2027. The geographical coverage for this framework primarily centres around Scotland, aiming to serve public sector bodies and institutions as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The process follows a framework agreement method, allowing for an extension beyond four years to ensure service continuity.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for those in the construction sector specialising in public buildings. Companies offering services related to construction, installation, and refurbishment will find beneficial openings, as the framework supports a host of public facilities, including schools, hospitals, and emergency services buildings. Additionally, businesses involved in PVC-U and timber window and door manufacturing, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive design, manufacture, and installation services, are strongly positioned to compete. Emphasis on community benefits like employment and training initiatives, up-skilling, and engaging SMEs, fosters a supportive environment for small and medium enterprises to participate and grow. The collaborative nature of the framework offers a structured pathway for businesses to engage with public sector projects efficiently, enhancing prospects for long-term strategic partnerships.

Thanks to their ongoing and collective feedback and input into the development of this framework and given the reach and scale of their collective portfolios, the framework is both designed and anticipated to support the vast majority of requirements. Consequently, other contracting authorities that were not specifically consulted in the development of this framework may nevertheless also deem the framework to offer a value for money procurement solution for their own requirements and may also use the framework. As of the date of publication of this notice our frameworks may be used by all contracting authorities in England, Wales and Scotland as defined by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and as listed on https://www.lhc.gov.uk/who-we-work-with/, and https://www.welshprocurement.cymru/who-we-work-with/, including but not limited to Registered social landlords (RSL's), tenant management organisations (TMOs) and arm's length management organisations (ALMOs), local authorities and any subsidiaries and joint-venture vehicles of those local authorities, health authorities, councils, boards and trusts, publicly funded schools, universities and further education establishments, colleges, police forces, fire and rescue services and registered charities. Please note within some lots listed in section V there are a number of regional areas. For these lots the contractors awarded a position on the framework will have been appointed for one or more of the regional areas available within the lot, but may not be appointed in all regional areas within a lot. Under the terms of this framework the successfully appointed contractors will be required to required to deliver community benefits in support of the public body's economic and social objectives.

The extension is required to maintain continuity of service while the replacement framework (PB4) is finalised and implemented. The extension will allow existing and pipeline projects to continue to be procured without disruption. No new projects will be initiated under this framework once the replacement framework (PB4) is live. There are no other changes to the scope, nature, or overall structure of the framework, and the modification does not alter the original conditions of competition.",
                    "rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The need for this modification has arisen due to the operational and procurement complexities associated with developing and implementing the replacement framework. This includes undertaking appropriate market engagement, refining the procurement strategy, and ensuring the successor framework is structured to provide improved clarity and effectiveness for future call-offs. While LHCPG has acted diligently in progressing the renewal, the time required to complete a compliant procurement, has exceeded the original anticipated timeline. As a result, an extension is necessary to ensure continuity of service and to avoid any gap in provision. The modification is proportionate and strictly limited to the minimum period required to complete the procurement and implementation of the replacement framework, and does not alter the overall nature of the contract."
