Procurement Status: Tender Notice Issued

SCAPE’s Construction Works & Services Framework will provide public sector organisations across England, Wales and Northern Ireland with a compliant route to market for the delivery of construction projects and associated works and services, in line with the Procurement Act 2023. Building on a strong track record, the framework has been strategically evolved to reflect the changing needs of the public sector - embedding early contractor involvement to support risk reduction, improve buildability and drive long-term value for money, while strengthening environmental and social value outcomes across the built environment.

The framework offers access to a comprehensive range of construction services across all sectors, from new build through to refurbishment, retrofit and long-term programmes of work. Designed for flexibility and scale, it incorporates a combination of core and specialist lots, alongside regionally tailored solutions for Wales and Northern Ireland to reflect devolved priorities and market conditions. Active framework management and embedded governance, with a commitment to social value and sustainability, ensure the framework delivers more than procurement alone - providing clients with ongoing support, improved outcomes and long-term value for money.

Key Framework Features

• Framework value: £8bn
• Framework duration: 4 years, with the option to extend by up to 2 years
• Up to 15 delivery partners appointed across the framework
• Competitively tendered, accelerated delivery, public sector framework
• Compliant with The Procurement Act 2023

Update: Following market engagement for SCAPE’s Construction Works and Services Framework, the originally proposed Defence Lot has been separated into a standalone framework in response to strong demand for a dedicated defence-focused procurement solution. 

The new framework will provide a compliant, specialist route to market for defence and complex environment projects, with commercial and contractual arrangements tailored to enhanced security and operational requirements. View full framework details here.
