OJEU - F1 - Prior Information Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body intends to re-let its building maintenance contract for mechanical and electrical hard facilities management services. The work covers maintenance of the Scottish Parliament Building at Holyrood, Edinburgh. It is a services procurement for the operation and upkeep of the Parliament’s building systems and associated hard facilities management requirements. The buyer is the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, acting for the Scottish Parliament. The requirement is focused on a single site in Edinburgh and will be relevant to providers able to deliver coordinated mechanical and electrical building maintenance in a complex public building environment.

This procurement is at the planning stage and records an intention to procure, rather than an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to publish the contract notice and Invitation to Tender on 6 August 2026, followed by a bidders’ conference and site visit at the Scottish Parliament Building on 26 August 2026. These are indicative dates set out for market awareness and may change. The procurement is planned as a single-lot services contract under an open competitive process, with the detailed requirements and evaluation arrangements to be set out in the future tender documents. There is no requirement to respond to this prior market notice, and responding would not guarantee an invitation to tender.

This will suit established facilities management, building services engineering and mechanical and electrical maintenance contractors, including firms able to combine specialist disciplines under one service arrangement. Relevant preparation would include demonstrating experience of maintaining mechanical and electrical systems in a large, complex or security-sensitive public building, with sufficient engineering staff, operational cover and resources to support ongoing planned and reactive maintenance. Businesses with strong compliance, health and safety, asset-management and service-reporting systems are likely to be well placed when the tender is issued. Specialist subcontractors may also find a role through a suitably experienced lead contractor, subject to the eventual tender requirements.
