Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland) procured property advisory and building consultancy services for its estate in Scotland. The appointed adviser supports the formulation of two Strategic Assessments for replacement options for the PSD estate. The scope also covers producing an updated memorandum of terms for agreement by the parties, associated services relating to the Gyle, business rates, and service charge management for the PSD Scotland property portfolio. The requirement is classified as building consultancy services (CPV 71315200). It is a single property advisory requirement under the total estate management arrangement, focused on strategic estate advice and ongoing property-related administration rather than construction works or facilities maintenance.

This procurement has been awarded through the GCA RM6343 Estate Management Services 2 framework, Lot 1 Total Estate Management. Align Property Partners was awarded the contract on 29 June 2026, and the contract was signed on 30 June 2026. The active contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2027 and is valued at £148,188. The award is for the single property adviser requirement and was made through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The contract value was subsequently changed to include additional service charge management and business rates administration for further properties adopted into the PSD Scotland estate following its creation. The published information does not set out an evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from PSD Scotland for suppliers able to combine strategic property advice with practical estate administration. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience developing strategic assessments for estate replacement or rationalisation options, preparing memoranda of terms, and advising on property arrangements involving multiple parties. Capability in business rates administration and service charge management is also relevant, particularly across a changing public-sector property portfolio that may absorb additional estates. The work suits a property consultancy with the capacity to provide both high-level estate strategy and detailed portfolio support, and with a route to market through the RM6343 estate management framework. The incumbent is an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist rather than only a large national firm.
