## Summary

The Scottish Government is initiating a selective tender process to establish a Civil Engineering Framework in Scotland, designed to support public sector civil engineering projects. This multi-lot framework will cover contracts with a value between £5 million and £100 million and is expected to run for four years. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 1st August 2022, with invitations to tender scheduled for 7th September 2022. Interested suppliers must complete the Single Procurement Document (SPD), along with specific technical and financial documentation needed for compliance.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for civil engineering firms, particularly those with design capabilities and experience in managing large-scale projects. Businesses involved in general and structural engineering, particularly those who can demonstrate strong financial standing and relevant qualifications, will be well-positioned to compete. The framework aims to appoint multiple suppliers across three distinct lots, enabling wider participation and promoting growth in the Scottish civil engineering sector.

## Notice

This will be a multi-lot, multi-supplier framework for a 4 year period whereby civil engineering contracts (work orders) with a value greater than 5,000,000 GBP up to 100,000,000 GBP(excluding VAT) can be individually called-off as required by the Scottish public sector. The framework will be divided into 3 lots, based on value & whether the works are categorised as general or structural civil engineering.
