SCAPE has launched its new Regional Construction Works and Services Framework, creating an estimated £8 billion opportunity for construction contractors operating across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The framework is divided into five regional lots, each valued at differently, offering different project scopes. It will provide public sector organisations with a compliant route to procure construction works and associated services for projects valued at up to £15 million.
SCAPE intends to appoint three delivery partners to each lot, creating a total of 12 available framework places. With only five bidders progressing from the initial selection stage for each region, contractors will need to demonstrate their suitability, financial standing and relevant delivery experience from the outset.

Procurement Timeline
The published procurement timetable includes:
- Tender notice published: 31 July 2026

- Participation deadline: 2pm 9 October 2026
- Estimated framework commencement: 8 September 2027

What Is the SCAPE Regional Construction Framework?
The SCP015 framework will provide public sector organisations with access to construction contractors capable of delivering projects across a broad range of built environments.
The scope covers complete and partial construction works, associated professional services, specialist trades and supporting activities. Potential commissions may involve new build, refurbishment, repair, maintenance and improvement projects across assets such as:
- Education and research facilities
- Healthcare and social care buildings
- Housing and residential developments
- Emergency service and public safety facilities
- Commercial and civic buildings
- Leisure, cultural and community facilities
- Infrastructure and engineering projects
- Building services and specialist installations
Successful delivery partners will be expected to collaborate closely with public sector clients, consultants, contractors and specialist supply chain organisations.
Performance will be monitored through a comprehensive set of indicators, placing importance on consistent delivery, collaboration, value for money and measurable outcomes throughout the framework term.
How Is the Framework Structured?
The framework contains five regional lots.
Lot 1: England - Construction Works & Services
Estimated value: £4 billion
Annual turnover requirement: £150 million
Lot 2: England - Residential Construction: Decarbonisation, Retrofit, Repair & Maintenance
Estimated value: £2 billion
Annual turnover requirement: £75 million
Lot 3: Wales - Construction, Housing, Works & Services
Estimated value: £1 billion
Annual turnover requirement: £75 million
Lot 4: Northern Ireland - Construction, Housing, Works & Services
Estimated value: £250 million
Annual turnover requirement: £20 million
Lot 5: Northern Ireland - Construction, Housing, Works & Services
Estimated value: £750 million
Annual turnover requirement: £75 million
Who Is the Opportunity Relevant To?
The framework may be relevant to:
- Regional and national principal contractors
- Construction and civil engineering businesses
- Building refurbishment contractors
- Property improvement and maintenance providers
- Multi-disciplinary construction organisations
- Contractors working across education, healthcare, housing and public buildings
- Consortia and joint ventures with combined regional and technical capability
- SMEs with the financial and operational capacity to act as a lead delivery partner
SCAPE has designed the framework to encourage SME participation throughout the successful contractors’ supply chains. SMEs can also submit bids directly, either independently or as part of a consortium or joint venture, provided the bidding arrangement collectively satisfies the requirements.
How Will Bids Be Evaluated?
The published evaluation weighting is:
- Quality: 70%
- Cost: 30%
The 70% quality weighting demonstrates that SCAPE is looking beyond price alone. Contractors will need to show how they will deliver high- quality construction projects, collaborate with public sector clients and maintain reliable performance across the framework.
The procurement uses a competitive flexible procedure with two key stages.
At PSQ stage, SCAPE will assess bidders’ suitability, financial standing, technical capacity and relevant experience. The five highest scoring organisations for each lot will progress.
At ITT stage, the shortlisted bidders will provide more detailed quality and commercial responses. The three highest scoring organisations for each lot will then be appointed.
What Will SCAPE Be Looking For?
Although bidders must respond directly to the published questions, strong submissions are likely to require clear evidence across areas such as:
- Delivery of comparable public sector construction projects
- Regional capacity and supply chain coverage
- Collaborative working with clients and consultants
- Programme, cost and risk management
- Health, safety and regulatory compliance
- Quality assurance and performance monitoring
- Project mobilisation and resource planning
- Environmental sustainability and carbon reduction
- Social value and benefits for local communities
- Support for SMEs and regional supply chains
- Continuous improvement and framework management
Generic descriptions of policies or past projects will not be enough. Contractors should connect their evidence directly to SCAPE’s requirements, explaining what was delivered, how challenges were managed and what measurable outcomes were achieved.

Get Ready for the SCAPE Regional Construction Framework
With an estimated value of £8 billion, four regional lots and projects worth up to £4 billion, SCP015 represents a valuable route into public sector construction work across several major English regions.
However, SCAPE plans to shortlist only five bidders and appoint three delivery partners per lot. Contractors must demonstrate more than basic eligibility. They need a focused regional strategy, relevant contract evidence and a credible delivery model that gives evaluators confidence in their capacity to perform.
