When this comes round again

Scottish Government publishes Repair & Maintenance work continuously — 39 notices, roughly one every 33 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

25% of Scottish Government’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

What it takes to bid this

Bid effort is not estimable from a framework ceiling — the published figure is the agreement’s maximum across every supplier and call-off, not the value of the work you would bid for. The requirements below still apply.

Typical for this category — confirm against the ITT pack

Hold at bid = pass/fail conditions of participation. Show at bid = scored in the quality response. Plan for delivery = contract obligations from day one.
