THE tender is live for Scotland Excel’s largest construction framework forecast to be worth £1.5 billion over four years.

Companies can bid to join the second generation of the new build residential framework, which will help local authorities and housing associations form contracts with suppliers to deliver their new build housing.

The framework will help organisations procure the design and build of a range of properties – including houses, flats, care homes, student accommodation, and social rented or mixed tenure.

Julie Welsh, chief executive of Scotland Excel, said, “I am delighted the tender is now live for the second generation of our new build residential framework. This framework forms an important part of our construction portfolio and gives our members vital support in procuring the design and build of wide range of properties as they work to meet national policy objectives for building new social housing.”

The tender will close for bids on May 13 and can be found here.
