It follows a competitive process after the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) invited businesses throughout Scotland to tender for works, as part of its Refurbishment and Modernisation framework, known as RM3.
Compass Building and Construction Services now has the potential to be awarded contracts directly and through mini competitions worth up to £100m combined value, on work that upgrades and maintains a broad array of social housing and public facilities.
Lesley Anderson, Regional Director for SPA, Scotland’s largest free-to-join procurement organisation said: “We’re constantly seeking ways to help further support the public sector in improving their homes and buildings while ensuring an environmental focus is at the heart of every step.
“This framework will empower councils, social landlords, the NHS, and various organisations to efficiently and cost-effectively maintain and upgrade buildings, ensuring they offer warm and comfortable living spaces.”
Thom Macleod, Managing Director of Compass Building and Construction Services Limited, said: “We are delighted to have been admitted onto this latest SPA Framework which sits alongside that of the SPA Housing Construction Framework (H2), and SPA Public Buildings Construction and Infrastructure Framework (PB3) previously held by the business.
“Whilst there is always a large emphasis on the provision of new build premises to meet modern standards, it is also important that we do not lose sight of maintaining and enhancing the standards of existing building stock which is best achieved through a programme of planned and cyclical maintenance.
“The specified work categories dovetail well with the capabilities of the business and the offering of this procurement selection to clients enables a consistency of approach, quality of product and economies of scale to be realised over the diverse geographical area that we cover.”
RM3 will support organisations across a range of works, from kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical installations to painting and decorating, environmental and external works. It can also support multi-disciplinary projects supporting a range of areas including adaptations, roofing, and mould prevention.
Broken up into five workstreams, the framework offers various value bands to open opportunities to SMEs across a spectrum of refurbishment projects, with specific value ranges within these workstreams enabling a variety of projects to be delivered with no value restriction.
