22 businesses have secured a place on a £100 million framework for public sector works in Scotland.

The works will include the modernisation and improvement of public sector and social housing buildings and follows a competitive process after the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) invited businesses to tender for works, as part of its Refurbishment and Modernisation framework, known as RM3.

The 22 successful organisations now have the potential to be awarded contracts directly and through mini competitions on work that upgrades and maintains a number of social housing and public facilities.

Lesley Anderson, regional director for SPA, said, “We’re constantly seeking ways to help further support the public sector in improving their homes and buildings while ensuring an environmental focus is at the heart of every step. This framework will empower councils, social landlords, the NHS, and various organisations to efficiently and cost-effectively maintain and upgrade buildings, ensuring they offer warm and comfortable living spaces.”

RM3 will support organisations across a range of works, from kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical installations to painting and decorating, environmental and external works. It can also support multi-disciplinary projects supporting areas including adaptations, roofing, and mould prevention.

Broken up into five workstreams, the framework offers various value bands to open opportunities to SMEs across a spectrum of refurbishment projects, with specific value ranges within these workstreams enabling a variety of projects to be delivered with no value restriction.

• Bell Group Ltd
