What the buyer wants

Procurement of the Refurbishment and Modernisation Scotland Framework Agreement (RM4S) to provide public sector organisations in Scotland with compliant and flexible routes for refurbishment, improvement, repair, maintenance, and modernisation works across various workstreams and lots covering a wide range of building and environmental services.

LHC Procurement Group Limited (LHCPG) is procuring the Refurbishment and Modernisation Scotland Framework Agreement (RM4S) on behalf of the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA).

LHCPG is acting as the Contracting Authority and central purchasing body for this procurement.

The Framework is being procured solely for use in Scotland and will provide eligible public sector organisations with a compliant and flexible route for the delivery of refurbishment, improvement, repair, maintenance and modernisation works, goods and associated services across residential and non-residential buildings.

The procurement is being conducted using the Open Procedure in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and the Procurement Regulations 2024. When awarding Call-Off Contracts, eligible Clients and Partners must also comply with the Framework Agreement, the applicable Call-Off procedure and any other procurement legislation applicable to them.

RM4S builds upon the existing Refurbishment and Modernisation (RM3) Framework and has been developed following market engagement with suppliers and public sector organisations.

Feedback received through that engagement has informed the scope, Workstreams, Lot structure, value bands and regional arrangements. The Framework comprises the following Workstreams and Lots:

Painting and Decorating

Electrical Works, from zero to 500k

Electrical Works, 500k and above

Kitchens and Bathrooms, from zero to 500k

Kitchens and Bathrooms, 500k to 2m

Kitchens (Supply only)

Each Lot is divided into five regional areas covering North Eastern Scotland, Highlands and Islands, Eastern Scotland, West Central Scotland and Southern Scotland. Bidders may apply for one or more Lots and regional areas in accordance with the Procurement Documents.

Subject to there being sufficient Qualifying Bidders, LHCPG will appoint no more than 10 Appointed Companies for each Lot and regional area. Any Micro and Small Enterprise Reserved Allocation forms part of, and is not additional to, that maximum.

LHCPG will first identify the 10 highest-ranked Qualifying Bidders. Where the applicable allocation is already achieved within those positions, the 10 highest-ranked Qualifying Bidders will be appointed without adjustment. Where it is not achieved, the highest-ranked remaining qualifying Micro Enterprises or Small Enterprises will be included as necessary, replacing the lowest-ranked selected Bidders not required to satisfy the allocation.

Any unfilled allocation will revert to the general ranking. The Framework will not operate a reserve list.

The Framework is structured to support participation from organisations of different sizes and capabilities through its Workstreams, value bands, regional areas and applicable Micro and Small Enterprise Reserved Allocations. All Bidders will remain subject to the same published qualification, compliance, quality, evaluation and appointment requirements.

RM4S is intended to support the delivery of high-quality and compliant solutions, sustainable supply chains, environmental improvement, social value, community benefits, Fair Work and proportionate innovation. Detailed technical requirements, eligibility provisions, award criteria, appointment methodology and Call-Off procedures are set out in the Procurement Documents.

How Tenderoo reads it

This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.

The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.
