## Summary

East Lothian Council is initiating the procurement process for a "Construction Framework," aimed at establishing a framework of works contractors for a duration of up to four years, including an initial two-year term with the potential for two additional one-year extensions. This framework will enable contractors to be invited to tender for various building projects, including educational institutions, community centres, commercial buildings, and infrastructure facilities, all located within East Lothian. The total estimated value of this procurement is £18 million, and a free webinar for potential suppliers will take place on 13 January 2021, providing further insights into this opportunity.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in construction and civil engineering, particularly those equipped to deliver projects within varying budget ranges outlined in five separate lots. Suitable businesses, especially small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in public sector works, can benefit from competing for a maximum of two lots.
