Technical requirements: Scotland Excel is developing a framework for the delivery of new build residential properties on behalf of Scottish Local Authorities.
The Framework is intended to support delivery of local authorities' Strategic Housing Investment Plans which support the Scottish Government's Affordable Housing Supply Programme and the More Homes Scotland Approach, but is not limited to construction for these programmes.
The scope is expected to include delivery of new build residential properties, primarily social housing, via traditional build and design and build contracts.
Scotland Excel is also considering options for including alternative delivery mechanisms including land led delivery mechanisms, planning led delivery mechanisms and mixed tenure delivery mechanisms.
Please note that at this stage the scope of the framework and its lots have yet to be determined and therefore may change from those stated in this notice.

Scotland Excel may invite a representative group from those interested parties to conduct telephone or face to face meetings, in particular to discuss any potential alternative delivery mechanisms, in September 2018.
