## Summary

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) is inviting tenders for the provision of high-level building fabric maintenance services under an active procurement stage. The services are required at the Scottish Parliament Building, Holyrood, Edinburgh. This project, titled "High Level Maintenance," falls under the services category and covers both planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and reactive maintenance activities for the building's high-level internal and external fabric, including hard and soft landscaping and bird pest control. The procurement process follows the open procedure method, with key deadlines including the tender period ending on 23 January 2025 at noon. The contract has an initial duration of five years, with optional extensions up to an additional five years, subject to the SPCB's discretion.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in high-risk building fabric maintenance, particularly those capable of operating with Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) accreditation. Firms with expertise in managing technically complex maintenance tasks using rope access will find this project well-suited, as it involves work on one of the most intricate building designs in Edinburgh. Given the scope of services required, including winter gritting and drone survey operations, businesses with comprehensive maintenance capabilities and a commitment to fair work practices and the Real Living Wage stand to benefit. The SPCB is also seeking contributions to community benefits, enhancing employability, education, and social enterprise initiatives within the local area, creating further opportunities for responsible and community-focused businesses.
