Scape Appoints Contractors To Best Value Design and Technical Services Framework

framwScape, the organisation that’s at the forefront of driving down public sector building procurement costs, has just appointed a range of suppliers to its latest framework to help organisations across the East Midlands access design and technical services more quickly and efficiently.

A total of 26 local providers - including Pick Everard, Faithful+Gould, WT Partnership and Focus Consultants - have been chosen following a competitive tender process that evaluated price, quality, performance and service innovation. Scape’s new Design and Technical Services Framework has taken 12 months to develop, and covers the full spectrum of specialist industry support needed on all aspects of portfolio management, maintenance and development. Architectural design, structural engineering, quantity surveying, planning consultancy and ground works investigations are also included.

Alex Wakefield, Associate Director of Faithful+Gould, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Scape and see this as a great opportunity to help the public sector buy in quality assured industry services at a better price for the taxpayer. As a well established company with sector expertise, we look forward to delivering our comprehensive range of construction management services for many organisations in the East Midlands.”

With estimates showing that at least *£25bn is wasted by the public sector through badly organised procurement and outsourcing each year, there’s never been more of a demand for Scape’s services. These are designed to help public sector organisations, who are planning a new build or renovation project or require property management support, to buy in services without having to go through a costly and time consuming procurement process.
