Summary of the contracting process

Langstane Housing Association, working with Castlehill, Grampian, Angus and Albyn housing associations, established a professional services framework for construction consultancy. It covers three areas: architect services, quantity surveying, and structural engineering consultancy. The work supports housing improvement, planned and cyclical maintenance, refurbishment, conversions, reconfiguration, development and new-build programmes. Quantity surveyors may prepare tender documents, run mini-competitions and help administer works contracts, including kitchen and bathroom replacements, windows, heating, roofs and render. Services are delivered across Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Angus, Dundee and the Highlands. The framework is intended for consultants able to provide professional construction advice across these housing associations’ programmes and geographic areas.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender closed on 8 June 2026 at 12:00, and the contracts were signed on 19 August 2026. The framework has three completed lots: Architect Services, awarded to 12 suppliers for £1,282,000; Quantity Surveyors, awarded to seven suppliers for £2,060,000; and Structural Engineer Consultants, awarded to four suppliers for £336,000. Each contract is active and runs for 1,440 days, approximately four years. Up to 25 framework participants are allowed, and the associations may use the framework for requirements outside the original scope. Evaluation allocated 50 points to price and 15 to the method statement and project management.

This outcome shows sustained demand from five housing associations for multidisciplinary construction consultancy across a large Scottish operating area. A credible future competitor would need professional qualifications relevant to the chosen service, named staff with appropriate qualifications, and experience delivering similar housing, improvement, refurbishment, reconfiguration or new-build work. The selection approach required three relevant project examples per lot, with preference for experience covering both new-build and existing-stock programmes and an understanding of the practical challenges of working across the area. Financial capacity also matters: employers’ liability and public liability insurance of £10 million each, plus professional indemnity insurance of £5 million, were required, with higher cover possible for larger projects. Quality-focused project management and reliable electronic working would also be important.
