Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) awarded a contract for 'High Level Maintenance' services on 29th May 2025, with the process now in the award stage. The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, falls under the services category and involves maintenance activities at the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh (postcode EH99 1SP). The tender required a specialist contractor due to the complex nature of the building's maintenance, ensuring accessibility via rope access. The contract, valued at £18,500,000, highlights the SPCB's role in managing devolved legislative operations and its procurement needs within the Edinburgh locale.

This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities particularly for large-scale service providers specialising in building maintenance, especially those accredited by the Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA). Companies with expertise in preventative maintenance, minor modifications, and external building management, including bird control, stand a good chance of successfully competing for similar future contracts. Given the nature of the work, businesses adept in high-risk maintenance tasks, and those with capabilities in deploying both technical skills and cost-effective solutions, will find this tender highly suited to their strengths and capabilities.
