Scape Procure Scotland Ltd (SCAPE) has established a framework agreement with a six (6) year duration. The initial period will run for four (4) years with an option to extend by two (2) years which will run consecutively. Scape Procure Scotland Limited (“Scape”) is a contracting authority and central purchasing body within the meaning of the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (the “Regulations”), dedicated to creating efficiency and social impact via the built environment. In accordance with Regulation 53(9), procurement carried out by Scape in order to perform its centralised purchasing activities (which includes the conclusion of framework agreements for works, supplies or services intended for a utility) is deemed to be procurement for the pursuit of an activity referred to in Regulations 8 to 14. Scape is, therefore, deemed to be a utility for these purposes; and may conclude this framework agreement in accordance with the procedures provided for in the Regulations.
Scape conducted an exercise of market engagement to understand the need and anticipated pipeline for infrastructure and construction consultancy services across a number of different utility sectors. In particular, but without limitation, Scape has been engaging with Cromarty Firth Port Authority to understand its procurement requirements. While there is no guarantee or commitment of any kind, Cromarty Firth Port Authority and Peel Ports Investments Limited and it’s Group of Companies including its Statutory Harbour Authorities have indicated an interest in exploring the possibility of calling-off services under the framework.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 70
- Price: 30
- Suitability
As per PQQ and supporting procurement documentation.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SCAPE Utilities Consultancy Services Framework - Scotland” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 2 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
