SCAPE Defence and Complex Environments Framework

Following positive market feedback and strong interest expressed during engagement activities for SCAPE's next generation Construction Works and Services Framework, SCAPE is considering establishing a new framework for the provision of construction works and services within complex environments, including but not limited to the Defence sector, across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

SCAPE will continue to undertake market engagement activities to inform the development of the framework ahead of submitting a Tender Notice.

This notice is not an invitation for formal expressions of interest. The purpose of this notice is to provide details on SCAPE's pre-market engagement activities in support of the upcoming procurement of a Defence and Complex Environments Framework for construction works and services.

This framework is envisaged to include the following Lots:

Lot 1 - Lot capacity of £500m for call-offs between £0 to £15m, UK wide.

Lot 2 - Lot capacity of £8bn for call-offs between £10m to £8bn, UK wide.

SCAPE currently anticipates establishing a multi-party framework with six (6) suppliers (3 on each Lot). The annual turnover requirement for each supplier (including their Associated suppliers) is anticipated to be:

Lot 1 - £10m per annum.

Lot 2 - £150m per annum.

SCAPE intends to design this framework to facilitate SME engagement via the successful bidder's supply chain and is also open to accepting bids from consortia or JVs of which SMEs may form a part.

The common procurement vocabulary codes stated are deemed to include, for the avoidance of doubt and unless otherwise stated, the category and sub-category codes below the CPV codes stated, e.g. 45200000 Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering work is deemed to include 45210000 Building construction work and 45214000 Construction work for buildings relating to education and research.
