Summary of the contracting process

The National Records of Scotland is in the planning stage of a procurement process for a framework agreement titled "Professional Estate Management Services Framework." This initiative, valued at £1,300,000, aims to appoint contractors skilled in estate management, particularly for archival stores, controlled environments, and listed buildings. The procurement falls under the services category with CPV classification 71315200 and is covered by the GPA legal framework. Located in Edinburgh, the project details will be further updated by 1st April 2026. The aim is to engage contractors with the appropriate qualifications and expertise. The framework also allows for other Scottish Government organisations to be included as buyers in the future.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential, particularly for companies specialising in estate and facilities management. Businesses with expertise in handling archival stores and controlled environments are particularly well-suited to compete. This framework re-tender will facilitate multi-party engagement, meaning enhanced collaboration prospects for qualified contractors. Engaging in this procurement process will enable businesses to expand their reach within governmental projects in the UK, especially those willing to collaborate on multi-supplier frameworks.
