Planning Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body intends to relet its building maintenance contract for mechanical and electrical hard facilities management services at the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood, Edinburgh. The requirement covers ongoing maintenance of a non-residential parliamentary building, combining building and facilities management with mechanical and electrical engineering services. Relevant activities include mechanical engineering, heating engineering for buildings and wider engineering support. The procurement is classified under CPV 79993000, building and facilities management services. This is a single requirement for work delivered at the Scottish Parliament site, postcode EH99 1SP, rather than a dispersed estate or multiple named locations. It will suit organisations providing integrated hard FM and engineering maintenance for complex public or commercial buildings.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has set out its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. The current notice revises the buyer’s indicative timetable for the relet. The Contract Notice and Invitation to Tender are expected to be published on 6 August 2026, followed by a bidders’ conference and site visit at the Scottish Parliament on 26 August 2026. Both dates are indicative and may change. The planned process includes one lot. There is no requirement to respond to this planning notice, and responding would not guarantee an invitation to tender. The later procurement is expected to be covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. No contract value or budget is stated.

The work is likely to suit established hard FM contractors, mechanical and electrical engineering firms, building services specialists and heating engineering providers with the resources to maintain a substantial, operational parliamentary building. Suppliers able to combine planned and responsive building maintenance with engineering expertise should be well placed when the requirement reaches the market. Experience of non-residential property services and integrated facilities management is directly relevant. Businesses preparing should assess their mechanical, electrical and heating maintenance capability, available engineering personnel, service coverage and experience working in occupied or operational public buildings. The planned bidders’ conference and site visit should help interested suppliers understand the building environment and prepare informed questions before the later tender process.
