The framework comes as council’s push to regenerate their regions and produce more new housing.

Scotland’s not-for-profit council procurement body Scotland Excel plans to divide the framework into three lots covering: emergency demolition, and projects below and above a £50,000 threshold.

The initial agreement with selected firms will run from October this year for a trial period of two years, before possibly being extended for a further two years.

For more information register an interest at Public Tender Scotland, project Code 3389 under ITTs open to all suppliers.

Applications will be assessed by community benefits, including training, work placement, volunteering, sponsorship, supplier collaborations and innovative approach.
