The Public Buildings and Infrastructure (PB3) framework from SPA allows public sector organisations in Scotland to source contractors for works relating to the construction and refurbishment of educational, healthcare, emergency service and community buildings. It can also be used for residential properties within mixed-use developments, as part of a commercial building conversion, or for delivering student accommodation.聽
SPA director, Clive Feeney, said: 鈥淥ur public buildings and infrastructure framework has been built with the Scottish public sector鈥檚 needs at the forefront. It offers a broader range of works, more flexibility for mixed-use projects, and expanded value bands to provide more options for procuring projects. A significant new addition is the ability to procure standalone infrastructure projects, such as bridges, retaining walls, drainage and new roadways.
鈥淭he new framework has been divided into five Scottish regions, with a range of regional and national contractors appointed, giving local authorities the chance to use local contractors where appropriate. We have also made changes to the pricing schedule to give partners more cost certainty at the start of the procurement process.鈥澛�

The PB3 framework has four workstreams, covering new build only; refurbishment only; new-build and refurbishment; and new-build, refurbishment and infrastructure for projects at three different value bands. All contractors on the framework have been vetted and are compliant with Scottish public sector procurement legislation.
The PB3 framework began yesterday (27th October 2021) and will run until 30 September 2025, although individual projects can be completed beyond the four-year duration as long as the contract is in place prior to the framework expiry date.聽
PB3 replaces SPA鈥檚 previous Schools and Community Buildings SCB1 and 2 frameworks, under which SPA Partners delivered 11 new primary schools, 13 new nurseries, 28 primary school expansions and 26 primary and secondary school refurbishments. Most recently, West Dunbartonshire Council used SPA鈥檚 SCB2 framework to procure its 拢15.1m Renton campus project.聽
