SCP015 - SCAPE Regional Construction Works and Services Framework
Authority: Scape Procure Limited (trading as SCAPE) (Public body)
What is being bought4 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionScape Procure Limited (trading as SCAPE) is establishing a framework agreement for the provision of construction works and services in the regions of England listed below. To support this, SCAPE undertook market engagement activities prior to submitting a Tender Notice.
The SCAPE Regional Construction Works and Services framework includes the following Lots:
Lot 1 - Midlands East (Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, South Yorkshire)
Lot 2 - Midlands West (Staffordshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire)
Lot 3 - Home Counties East (Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, Essex, London)
Lot 4 - Home Counties West (Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, London)
SCAPE seeks to establish a multi-party framework with three (3) Suppliers per Lot, for a total of twelve (12) Suppliers. The annual turnover requirement for each Supplier (including any other potential bidding vehicle members) is £20m.
SCAPE has designed this framework to facilitate SME engagement via the successful Bidder’s supply chain. Bids are also welcomed directly from SMEs acting as sole Bidders, as well as from consortia or joint ventures 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, i.e. 45200000 Works for complete or part construction and civil engineering works is deemed to include 45210000 Building construction work and 45214000 Construction work for buildings relating to education and research.
The successful delivery partners will be expected to work collaboratively with public sector clients, in-house and external consultants, contractors and other partner providers. All contract performance will be monitored using a set of comprehensive performance indicators. Services shall be delivered by the successful delivery partners and their supply chain.
All services will be performed in accordance with the framework agreement and a delivery agreement executed in accordance with this agreement.
The upper limit on commissions called-off under the framework is £15m.
For each Lot, SCAPE will shortlist the top five (5) highest scoring bidders at PSQ stage and invite them to tender.

- How the procedure runs: SCAPE is undertaking the procurement of this framework in two stages. The first stage involves completion of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ), which incorporates the Common Assessment Standard (CAS) question set alongside supplementary questions and SCAPE-specific quality questions. SCAPE will evaluate the Bidders’ PSQ responses and shortlist the five highest-scoring bidders per Lot to be invited to the second stage, the Invitation to Tender (ITT). The ITT will comprise qualitative questions and a price evaluation through the inclusion of a commercial model. Following evaluation of the ITT submissions, SCAPE will award the three available places on each Lot to the highest-scoring bidders submitting the Most Advantageous Tenders, based on a combined Quality and Price score. SCAPE reserves the right to refine the evaluation criteria during the first stage of the procurement process.

Published description of the framework
The framework enables Clients to appoint Delivery Partners for commissions either through a non-competitive call-off using Accelerated Delivery, Objective Mechanism for award without further competition, or through a Competitive Selection Process. All approaches comply with the Procurement Act 2023 and ensure transparency, fairness and consistency across all partners. Full information regarding the call-off process and objective criteria will be provided to those bidders who progress to tender stage.
- Accelerated Delivery
Accelerated delivery permits Clients to award call-offs directly under the framework for requirements below the applicable procurement threshold, enabling faster project delivery. Clients must comply with aggregation rules when determining whether threshold values are exceeded. Below-threshold call-offs will be undertaken following the Client’s own internal governance, approval processes and procedures.
- Objective Mechanism – Award Without Further Competition
The Objective Mechanism is the route for above-threshold call-offs where Clients wish to award without further competition. It is an automated scoring-based model derived directly from tender (ITT) scores submitted during the original framework procurement. To determine the outcome Clients select from several criteria groupings (Primary and Secondary), each with rules on permitted combinations and weightings:
Primary Criteria:
- Balanced Award: combined ITT price + quality
- Quality-Led Award: highest ITT quality score
- Price-Led Award: highest ITT price score
- Performance-Led Award: “Achievement of Commitments” (after 12 months)
Secondary Criteria:
- Technical ability
- Social value and sustainability
- Performance metrics (e.g., Tender Commitments)
- Pricing categories
- Competitive Selection Process – Award With Further Competition
Clients may instead choose a competitive process compliant with Procurement Act 2023 Section 46.
Permitted Competitive Activities:
Clients may select one or more of the following:
- Written Question Submission
- Case Studies
- Interviews
- Behavioural Assessments
- For call-offs above £5m, Clients may opt to include commercial elements, combining quality assessment with price considerations
All Delivery Partners must be issued the same materials/questions. Participation by Partners is discretionary.
Critical Restriction:
Clients cannot request fee proposals or price submissions during a competitive selection for call-offs below £5m. Pricing evaluation must not be based on any fee proposal. However, Clients may review the commercial model (already tendered at framework stage) as provided via the Framework Agreement following signature of a SCAPE Access Agreement.

- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SCP015 - SCAPE Regional Construction Works and Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 12 suppliers, not a single contract: call-offs may be direct or by further competition.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Risks
SCAPE will include a set of performance measures in the framework agreement and these will be used to manage the performance of the supplier, set improvement targets and drive continuous improvement. These will be the minimum standards and other measures may be offered by bidders as part of their ITT. Performance against these standards will be reviewed with the successful bidder at regular review meetings, together with the comparative performance that will enable benchmarking against:
— other companies engaged in SCAPE or other SCAPE frameworks,
— the overall performance of all SCAPE or other SCAPE frameworks,
— national performance measures where they are available.
The successful bidders will be required to collate and submit their own performance data in accordance with the performance management requirements set out in the contract.
Further details will be available in the ITT.
