Property Maintenance and Refurbishment framework extended

Scotland Excel’s first-generation Property Maintenance and Refurbishment framework has been extended for two years, to continue helping councils and housing associations source the wide range of services needed to refurbish and maintain properties.

The framework was launched two years ago with 52 Scottish SMEs joining the framework; 22 of which are micro businesses. A total of 87 companies make up the framework suppliers – 85 of which are Scottish.

The two year extension means councils and associate members will continue to have easy access to a wide range of contractors who are ready to do business.

To make it easier for public sector organisations to connect with high quality contractors for the specific work they need, the framework is divided into 15 lots:

• •         Bathrooms
• •         Electrical
• •         Fencing and gates
• •         Flooring
• •         Heating
• •         Joinery
• •         Kitchens
• •         Painting and decorating
• •         Plastering and ceramic tiling works
• •         Plumbing
• •         Renewables
• •         Roofing
• •         Ventilation
• •         Windows and doors
• •         Multi trades

The Property Maintenance and Refurbishment framework is part of Scotland Excel’s specialist construction and property management portfolio, which offers public bodies a full suite of specialist construction contracts for every point of the property management cycle. 

It offers ready to use terms and conditions and a ‘direct award’ route - meaning our members can engage directly with a contractor who meets their internal requirements without having to reopen the tender through a mini competition. This is an efficient and effective route to market for our members.
