RPS ‘excels’ in Scotland four-year framework contract win

We’re thrilled to have been awarded a place on Scotland Excel’s £100 million Building Construction Consultancy Framework.

We’ve been successful in two lots (‘Lot 2 - Civil & Structural Engineering’ and ‘Lot 13 – Environmental Engineering’) across all regions in Scotland where we have offices in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Grangemouth.

As well as offering a full suite of environmental services, our civil and structural engineering team in Scotland has a wide range of experience in public, commercial, industrial, and renewable energy projects across the country. This includes adopting integrated analysis, modelling and drawing software to achieve seamless engineering designs.

The four-year framework contract, which consists of 14 lots across eight regions, is available to all 32 local authorities in Scotland looking to procure construction-related consultancy services.

The framework creates a procurement route for numerous bodies, including NHS Scotland and trusts, Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges (APUC) members, Scottish Ministers, non-departmental public bodies and other executive agencies.

Scotland Excel manages a portfolio of 70+ frameworks worth in excess of £2bn. We’re currently active across a number of disciplines on the Scotland Excel Engineering & Technical Consultancy Framework.

Framework lead and Technical Director, Structures – Scotland, Stephen Barker, said: “We’re very pleased to have been appointed on Building Construction Consultancy Framework, as Scotland Excel is a recognised centre of procurement excellence for the local government sector in Scotland.

“Our ethos as a business is to solve problems that matter through the application of innovative, sustainability-led solutions. This appointment, and the wide reach of the framework, will help us to build on the portfolio of projects we’re already delivering in Scotland. It’ll provide us with a fantastic platform to promote our services and solutions to new and existing clients across the country.”
