## Summary

The procurement process for the "AP2420 – Structural Design Services Framework" initiated by Scape Group Limited, in collaboration with Arc Property Services Partnership Limited, involves comprehensive engineering design services. Focused on establishing a framework for structural and civil design work, the effort covers regions within Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, South Yorkshire, and Leicestershire. The framework operates under the NEC4 Contract and was most recently updated with awards announced on 28th November 2025. This procurement process is currently at the Award stage, having completed its two-stage selective tendering process as per the restricted procedure in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in structural engineering consultancy, especially those proficient in Building Information Modelling (BIM). SMEs have identified potential participation, underscoring a preference for the agile and specialised nature of smaller firms. With a structured evaluation process focusing on both price and quality, the framework accommodates up to four suppliers over a maximum period of four years. The process comprises two stages allowing top-scoring bidders to progress, thus promoting competition and incentivising high-quality submissions. This setup is particularly beneficial for consortia bids, offering a substantial growth opportunity for firms aiming to join or broaden their foothold in the East Midlands market of civil and structural engineering services.
