4 year Framework Agreement for the provision of Civil & Structural Engineering services for new build housing

Award

Description

Link is seeking to enter into a four-year Framework Agreement with a maximum of six suitably qualified Civil & Structural Engineering Practices for the provision of engineering services. The services may also include the provision of Principal Designer under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 where the practice can demonstrate it has the relevant experience to provide this role.
We would expect the principals within the practice to be members of the Institution of Structural Engineers and Institution of Civil Engineers and for the practice to be a member of the SER Scheme and we would also consider membership of ACE to be acceptable (or their equivalent organisations within the country that the practice operates in).
Link works in partnership with a number of subsidiary companies who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. The subsidiaries of Link Group include Link Housing Association Ltd, Link Living, Horizon Housing Association Ltd, Larkfield Housing Association Ltd and West Highland Housing Association Ltd. Although it is possible that other organisations may join the Group, becoming subsidiary companies, during the term of the Framework Agreement, and may also wish to "call off" from the Framework.
Link also works in partnership with several external organisations, refer to Section 1.1 of the Contract Notice for further details, who will also be entitled to purchase services from the Framework Agreement. It is also intended that any Registered Social Landlord registered and operating in Scotland will be entitled to purchase services from the framework, subject to Link's prior agreement.
There is no guarantee of any work, however, it is likely that individual commissions will be "called off" either by direct selection or by mini tendering, within the terms of the Framework Agreement, to identify the most economically advantageous tender.
The Framework Agreement will mainly cover the provision of Civil & Structural Engineering services for new build housing, however individual projects could include rehabilitation of existing properties, extensions, office accommodation, commercial property, adaptations, and planned maintenance projects.
The Framework Agreement may include, where successful Bidders are suitably qualified and experienced, Principal Designer Services on each of the project types listed above.
The projects will range in size, tenure and type from mainstream housing to a variety of particular needs housing. The tenure type will cover all affordable tenures, private rented and market sale. Applicants should have experience of projects within the affordable housing sector of between 5 and 500 units including flats, houses and retirement living projects.
The location of projects will vary but in the main will be in the Central Belt of Scotland, Argyll & Bute and Highland, however individual projects may be located in any part of Scotland. The total number of units in each of the geographical areas may vary and specific numbers cannot be guaranteed in any area or in total.
Although individual projects cannot be guaranteed, Link will expect the successful Engineering Practices to deliver a high quality and value for money service.

IWM/2526/FM/3472: DUX Construction of New Fire Engine Shed

Imperial War Museums (IWM) is seeking tenders from experienced and qualified contractors for the construction of a new Fire Engine Shed adjacent to the existing Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower at IWM Duxford. This facility will serve as a critical operational hub for the IWM’s fire response team, supporting rapid deployment, equipment storage, and personnel readiness in a heritage-sensitive and safety-critical environment. The new building must be utility in style, prioritising functionality, durability, and low maintenance, while incorporating architectural features that complement the historic character of the surrounding site. The design must respect key planning constraints, including maintaining unobstructed visual lines from the Visual Control Room and ensuring the new structure does not exceed the height or footprint of the ATC Tower. Internally, the shed will accommodate three fire vehicles with appropriate spacing and emergency access features, alongside dedicated areas for equipment storage, breathing apparatus servicing, decontamination showers, changing facilities, and a watch room with CCTV integration. External works will include a floodlit vehicle manoeuvring zone, secure access to airfield taxiways, drainage infrastructure, and improved pedestrian pathways. The successful contractor will be expected to manage the project in accordance with airside safety protocols, environmental regulations, and a clean site policy, with works being completed by the end of March 2026.
