## Summary

The Scottish Government, through its Building Standards Division, has awarded a contract titled "Award of DLGH - Delivery Model Project to validate building warrant fee rates from 1 April 2026" to Optimal Economics. Located in Livingston, with specific contact handled by the Local Government and Communities, the Scottish Government oversees the procurement process, which falls under the "services" category, specifically "Research and development services and related consultancy services" as classified by CPV code 73000000. This contract, marked in the award stage, involves a direct procurement method, meaning it was awarded without a competitive bidding process. The project is centred around evaluating and confirming proposed building warrant fee rates for the fiscal year 2026-27.

This tender presents growth opportunities especially for consultancy firms specialising in economic analysis and development services. Although Optimal Economics was directly awarded this contract, businesses with expertise in financial modelling and consultancy services could find similar future opportunities to deliver value to public sector projects. Firms capable of providing tailored consultancy services that can offer flexible solutions for fee setting are well-suited to compete for such specialised contracts. Expanding expertise in public administration consultancy projects, particularly those involving economic analyses, can position businesses strategically for similar contracts with the Scottish Government or similar agencies.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to review and confirm proposed building warrant fee rates for 2026-27 as modelled. The project will also provide additional fee rates higher and lower than originally modelled, to provide flexibility for BSD in setting future fees.
