Tender: Professional Estate Management Services Framework – National Records of Scotland (historic & archival buildings)

About

National Records of Scotland is seeking suppliers to join a joint Framework Agreement to deliver conservation-led professional estate management services across its five-building estate—four buildings in Edinburgh (three Category ‘A’ listed) and one in Dumfries—and for partner organisations including Historic Environment Scotland and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The framework will secure access to a skilled, diverse supply base with specialist technical and conservation expertise for operational archival storage and work in protected and sensitive environments, enabling call-offs for multidisciplinary technical and design services (including architectural and engineering), conservation consultancy for listed and historic buildings, support to in-house estates and facilities teams (including specialist advice and surveys), project and construction management, health and safety, fire safety, asbestos surveys and management and water safety (including legionella) services, and planned maintenance planning, inspections, condition surveys and compliance support. The collaborative approach is intended to reduce procurement duplication, improve service quality and resilience, and help participating organisations meet their custodial responsibilities for nationally important buildings, landscapes and collections.
