Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), appointed a property adviser for its estate portfolio. The work supports the formulation of two Strategic Assessments for replacement options for the PSD estate, as set out in the contract scope. It also covers producing an updated MOTO for agreement by the parties, services relating to the Gyle, business-rates administration and service-charge management for the portfolio. This is a property advisory and estate-management service, classified under CPV 71315200. The work concerns PSD Scotland’s estate in Scotland and is managed by PSD Scotland from Edinburgh. The requirement sits within the wider Estate Management Services 2 framework, Lot 1 for total estate management.

The procurement has been awarded to Align Property Partners, and the contract is active. The award was made on 30 June 2026, with the signed contract running from 30 June 2026 to 30 June 2027. The contract value is £148,188. This was a framework call-off under RM6343 Estate Management Services 2, Lot 1: Total Estate Management. The award covers one lot and one supplier. The contract period stated for the lot was 29 June 2026 to 29 June 2027. The contract was later amended to add service-charge management and business-rates administration for additional NES properties brought into the PSD Scotland estate following its creation. The amendment cites Regulation 72(b)(1) as its rationale.

This award indicates demand from PSD Scotland for a property advisory firm able to combine strategic estate planning with practical portfolio management. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to formulate strategic assessments for estate replacement options, prepare and update MOTO arrangements, and advise on property matters connected with the Gyle. It would also need operational capability in business-rates administration and service-charge management, including for portfolios that expand through estate transfers or organisational change. Experience of public-sector estates and the ability to manage several related workstreams would be relevant. The route used shows the value of access to the RM6343 Estate Management Services 2 framework, particularly its total estate-management provision.
