## Summary

The Scottish Government has completed the award stage of the Civil Engineering Framework in Scotland, which involves an extended contract for civil and structural engineering projects under CPV code 45000000, mainly concerning construction work. The framework, initiated as a tender process without prior publication, spans locations within Scotland (UKM region) and classifies under the 'works' procurement category. Originally set to last until 2024, the ongoing uncertainty around project funding has justified extending the contract by 24 months, with potential for another 24-month extension, effective from 21 March 2024. This extension does not change the framework’s initial scope or value, which concerns individual contracts worth between £5 million and £100 million.

This extended framework presents a myriad of opportunities for large-scale businesses specialising in civil and structural engineering. Major firms like Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd and Graham, among others, have been actively engaged with awards granted exceeding £800 million in total across several lots. The steady framework pipeline offers a solid platform for these businesses to secure substantial contracts, ideally positioning companies with the capacity for large construction projects. Firms experienced in managing sizable public projects, particularly those familiar with the Scottish market’s regulatory landscape, would be well-suited to foster growth via participation in future tender opportunities facilitated by this framework.

## Notice

Extension of the Civil Engineering Framework (Scotland) contract by 24 months, with the option to extend a further 24 months. The justification for the framework extension shall be on the basis of Regulation 72 (1) (c). There is no change to framework scope or value. The value referred to in this notice within sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 refers to the initial value of the original framework procurement.

### Procurement Information

The proposed extension is required due to the current level of uncertainty around funding for public civil engineering projects in Scotland within the framework's call-off value range of 5M-100M GBP. There is no certainty in terms of timelines for projects currently in the pipeline. As a result of this uncertainty, no call-offs have been undertaken and we are in a position where we are unable to scope a successor arrangement to the current Civil Engineering Framework (Scotland). It is anticipated, that by extending the framework by 24 months, with the option to extend a further 24 months should uncertainty persist, this will allow for greater clarity around future pipeline and service needs. This should enable a future procurement to have an increased level of pipeline certainty and future demand. Due to the pausing or delay of projects 2024/2025, the anticipated spend through the framework Lots has been significantly below the stated contract value within the published Contract Notice - currently no call-off contracts have been undertaken. It is anticipated that value of the Framework Contract will not exceed the original value in the Contract Notice. There is no proposed modification to the overall nature of the framework. The justification for the framework extension shall be on the basis of Regulation 72 (1) (c) where all of the following conditions are fulfilled-- (i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract or framework; (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the initial contract value or Framework Agreement. A modification notice will be issued via Public Contract Scotland portal on conclusion of the VEAT notice period, confirming a modification to the existing contract under Regulation 72 (1) (c). The value referred to in this notice within sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 refers to the initial value of the original framework procurement which is not anticipated to be exceeded during the extension period.
