New Build Residential Construction

This framework is for new build construction of residential developments. It is anticipated that the majority of schemes under this framework will comprise properties for social rent, although councils may utilise the framework for other tenure, mixed tenure

and any other residential schemes with particular requirements (e.g. care homes, supported living accommodation, student accommodation, temporary accommodation).

Tenderers are advised that the envisaged maximum number of participants that might be appointed to the proposed framework agreement set out in section IV.1.3 of this contract notice is purely indicative. Scotland Excel reserves the right to appoint more or less bidders than the envisaged maximum number to the proposed framework agreement.

Rebates apply to this framework.

Further information regarding the operation of the framework and the tendering requirements can be found within the tender documentation which is available in the relevant PCS-T project for this procurement exercise.

1. Upon award of the Work Order proactively engage with the Council to agree the selection of community benefit outcomes and how these will be monitored between the parties (including reporting and reviews).
