Advance notice of the proposed framework was provided through a Prior Information Notice published on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) and transferred to Find a Tender: FTS notice: 2026/S 000-020262 PCS reference: MAR551114 Preliminary market engagement was subsequently undertaken by the Scottish Procurement Alliance on behalf of LHC Procurement Group through three in-person sessions with existing RM3 suppliers, other suppliers interested in RM4S, and SPA Partners as existing or potential framework users. The sessions gathered feedback on the existing framework, Partner requirements, supplier experience, proposed scope, workstreams, lot structure, value bands and estimated framework value. This feedback informed the development of the RM4S scope, structure and procurement documents. As advance notice had been published and preliminary market engagement completed, a separate UK2 notice was not published."

        "description": "LHC Procurement Group Limited (LHCPG) is procuring the Refurbishment and Modernisation Scotland Framework Agreement (RM4S) on behalf of the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA). LHCPG is acting as the Contracting Authority and central purchasing body for this procurement. The Framework is being procured solely for use in Scotland and will provide eligible public sector organisations with a compliant and flexible route for the delivery of refurbishment, improvement, repair, maintenance and modernisation works, goods and associated services across residential and non-residential buildings. The procurement is being conducted using the Open Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024. When awarding Call-Off Contracts, eligible Clients and Partners must also comply with the Framework Agreement, the applicable Call-Off procedure and any other procurement legislation applicable to them. RM4S builds upon the existing Refurbishment and Modernisation (RM3) Framework and has been developed following market engagement with suppliers and public sector organisations. Feedback received through that engagement has informed the scope, Workstreams, Lot structure, value bands and regional arrangements. The Framework comprises the following Workstreams and Lots: Painting and Decorating Electrical Works, from zero to 500k Electrical Works, 500k and above Kitchens and Bathrooms, from zero to 500k Kitchens and Bathrooms, 500k to 2m Kitchens and Bathrooms, 2m and above Aids and Adaptations Damp and Mould Remediation Environmental and External Works, External Works Environmental and External Works, Grounds Maintenance Stoneworks Reactive Repairs and Maintenance Multi-Disciplinary Works, from zero to 750k Multi-Disciplinary Works, 750k to 2.5m Multi-Disciplinary Works, 2.5m and above Kitchens (Supply only) Each Lot is divided into five regional areas covering North Eastern Scotland, Highlands and Islands, Eastern Scotland, West Central Scotland and Southern Scotland. Bidders may apply for one or more Lots and regional areas in accordance with the Procurement Documents. Subject to there being sufficient Qualifying Bidders, LHCPG will appoint no more than 10 Appointed Companies for each Lot and regional area. Any Micro and Small Enterprise Reserved Allocation forms part of, and is not additional to, that maximum. LHCPG will first identify the 10 highest-ranked Qualifying Bidders. Where the applicable allocation is already achieved within those positions, the 10 highest-ranked Qualifying Bidders will be appointed without adjustment. Where it is not achieved, the highest-ranked remaining qualifying Micro Enterprises or Small Enterprises will be included as necessary, replacing the lowest-ranked selected Bidders not required to satisfy the allocation. Any unfilled allocation will revert to the general ranking. The Framework will not operate a reserve list. The Framework is structured to support participation from organisations of different sizes and capabilities through its Workstreams, value bands, regional areas and applicable Micro and Small Enterprise Reserved Allocations. All Bidders will remain subject to the same published qualification, compliance, quality, evaluation and appointment requirements. RM4S is intended to support the delivery of high-quality and compliant solutions, sustainable supply chains, environmental improvement, social value, community benefits, Fair Work and proportionate innovation. Detailed technical requirements, eligibility provisions, award criteria, appointment methodology and Call-Off procedures are set out in the Procurement Documents.",

The completed workbook must include the Bidder's supplier details, declarations, applicable financial metrics, supplier type and confirmation of every Lot for which the Bidder is applying. Each Lot has been assigned a Bronze, Silver or Gold financial information route. Bronze Lots use a proportionate basic financial information route. Silver Lots require the published Standard or VCSE financial metrics and supporting evidence. Gold Lots require the Silver information set together with any additional analysis, trend information, mitigation evidence, resolution-planning information or financial assurance evidence specified in the Procurement Documents. Bidders must select the Standard or VCSE route, as applicable. LHCPG may verify the selected supplier type and request supporting evidence. Appendix 6 compares submitted information against the published minimum requirements and indicative EFS benchmarks. An indicative benchmark warning is not an automatic failure. It identifies an area that may require explanation, mitigation evidence or further assurance. The workbook outputs are indicative prompts only and do not constitute LHCPG's final evaluation or pass/fail decision. LHCPG will determine the final EFS outcome using the completed workbook, supporting evidence, relevant credit-reference information, any permitted clarification or alternative evidence and any properly evidenced reliance on another entity. Bidders applying for more than one Lot will be assessed separately for each Lot. A Bidder may satisfy the EFS requirements for one Lot but not another. The Lot-specific turnover requirements will not be added together solely because a Bidder applies for multiple Lots.

Where required by the applicable Bronze, Silver or Gold financial information route, Bidders must also satisfy the published minimum financial requirements. The minimum turnover-to-estimated-annual-Lot-value ratio is 1.0. For the Standard route, the minimum requirements are: operating margin of at least 2.0%; net debt to EBITDA of no more than 2.0; net debt plus net pension deficit to EBITDA of no more than 3.5; interest paid cover of at least 3.0; acid ratio of at least 0.8; net assets greater than zero; and group exposure ratio of no more than 50%. For the VCSE route, the minimum requirements are: operating reserve ratio of at least 2.0; operating reliance ratio of at least 0.5; donations and legacy reliance ratio of no more than 50%; and operating cash ratio of at least 0.5.

If a stated known risk materialises otherwise than as a result of an act or omission of LHCPG or the relevant supplier, LHCPG may consider modifying the Framework only where all applicable requirements of section 74 and Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 are satisfied. Any modification must go no further than necessary to address the materialised risk. LHCPG must consider whether awarding a new contract would provide better value for money and whether modification, rather than a new procurement, is in the public interest. Any modification must not increase the estimated value by more than the applicable statutory limit, alter the overall nature of the Framework or extend beyond what is necessary to address the risk. It will also be subject to applicable governance, approval, record-keeping, transparency and notice requirements. Identification of these risks does not guarantee that the Framework will be modified and does not create a general right to extend its term or increase its scope or value"

For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Community benefit requirements will apply to this Framework.

Specific measures, targets and reporting arrangements may be established at Call-Off Contract stage to reflect Client priorities and identified local needs.
