SCAPE is a public sector owned, not-for profit organisation.
As a public sector-owned organisation, SCAPE is dedicated to creating efficiency and delivering value across the UK built environment. Any surplus income generated is returned to the public sector through our six local authority shareholders and the SCAPE Reinvest Fund.
For over 20 years, we've partnered with industry-leading delivery partners to provide trusted and compliant procurement solutions that help public sector organisations deliver projects and programmes with confidence. Our suite of Gold Standard Verified frameworks provide a compliant, efficient route to market, enabling early collaboration, accelerated delivery and exceptional outcomes. Designed to support the evolving needs of the public sector, they help organisations balance quality, value for money, sustainability and social value.
Procured through a two-stage restricted process, our frameworks comply with the Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, Regulation 28 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (England, Wales and Northern Ireland), and Regulation 29 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
From budget pressures and sustainability targets to social value ambitions and community impact, we understand the challenges facing today's public sector. As a contracting authority, SCAPE helps organisations balance quality, value for money and social impact through procurement solutions that deliver long-term outcomes.
Our frameworks are designed to support responsible procurement and sustainable growth, combining fair commercial practices with measurable economic, environmental and social value.
Actively managed frameworks
Our frameworks are actively managed throughout the project or commission lifecycle, providing ongoing support, performance monitoring and robust governance.
Through regular reviews against agreed KPIs, standards and commitments, we help ensure projects are delivered efficiently, compliantly and with maximum value.
Industry-leading delivery partners
Our delivery partners are selected through a rigorous procurement process and appointed based on their ability to deliver high-quality outcomes, exceptional value for money and meaningful social value.
Through ongoing performance monitoring and framework management, we ensure they continue to meet the standards and commitments expected by our clients.
Social value
Creating meaningful social value and lasting community impact is at the heart of all of every SCAPE framework.
Working in partnership with our delivery partners, we create opportunities through our frameworks and Community Legacy Programmes that support local communities, strengthen economies and leave a positive legacy.
