Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) - Pre-tender Engagement for upcoming - Public Buildings & Infrastructure Framework (PB4)

Public Buildings and Infrastructure (PB4) is one of SPA’s upcoming Framework Agreements and they are looking for potential bidders to support the development of this framework via a pre-tender engagement session.

If you can provide works or services that are relevant to this framework, SPA would encourage you to attend the in-person pre-tender engagement session to learn more about the depth and opportunities available. Your attendance will provide SPA with valuable insight guided by your expertise that will help SPA shape the framework to be a robust and comprehensive offering for both their partners and suppliers.

The pre-tender engagement workshops are a platform to voice your opinion on the structure of the framework and hear first-hand about SPA procurement solutions under development.

The framework is the next iteration of SPA’s current Public Buildings and Infrastructure (PB3)

At this stage, SPA is currently proposing the framework covers the below areas, however this is subject to change depending on the feedback received at both supplier and partner pre-tender engagement sessions:

Proposed Framework Scope:

• New Build

• Refurbishment

• Infrastructure

• FM Services (Soft & Hard)

• Project Management Service

SPA anticipate that the Invitation to Tender for this framework will be released in September 2025.

You can register your interest and access more information including the details for the pre-tender engagement session will be held on the Thursday 24th July 2025 via the Future Contract Opportunity, which has been published on Public Contracts Scotland.
