## Description
This Framework will provide Lead Advisor services to Framework Customers (as further described in the
Statement of Requirement). The role of the Lead Advisor is varied and may include
a range of advisory, design discipline, inspection and supervision services and building surveying inputs to health and social care
programmes of work and projects to be delivered via a variety of procurement routes. It will be a key requirement of this Framework
to provide an integrated Advisor service for construction projects procured under the NEC4 suite of contracts.
The authority is not able to guarantee the volume, type or value of any work called off under the framework however the current estimate
of the total potential value over the term of the framework is noted within the contract notice. The current realistic anticipated framework expenditure is circa 10 million GBP, however the maximum anticipated expenditure for the framework is 20million GBP given the potential for additional funding to be allocated to the NHSScotland Capital Programme over the life of the framework.
