Link Group launches £840m Scottish housing framework
Summary
Link Group has launched procurement for an £840m housing construction framework covering projects across Scotland over four years, with a possible one-year extension. The framework spans new-build housing and a wider range of associated works, including rehabilitation, extensions, community facilities and planned maintenance, and will be procured under a restricted procedure.
Why it matters
The scale and scope of the framework indicate a significant pipeline of residential and mixed-use work that may generate surveying, valuation and contract administration opportunities. Surveyors involved in social housing, development or project monitoring should note the procurement timetable, geographic coverage and the range of project values.
Key points
- £840m framework to run for four years, with an option to extend by one year
- Covers housing schemes plus rehabilitation, offices, commercial buildings, extensions, community facilities, adaptations and planned maintenance
- Projects may range from five to 500 homes across Scotland, especially the Central Belt, Argyll and Bute, and the Highlands
- Procurement is being run under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
