Information requested

Please can you provide me with information concerning the maintenance of your corporate estate i.e. operational buildings, land and any other property (e.g. investment) and schools, if they are within your jurisdiction. Not any social housing/dwellings.

Q1. What type of maintenance management model does your organisation use? E.g. Managed supply-chain, single hard-fm & soft-fm contractor, internal workforce, principal contractor etc.

Q2. Can you provide a list of the approved contractors used?

Q3. What are the total values of contracts granted?

Q4. When do these contracts expire?

Q5. What services are provided in each contract?

Q6. What procurement method was used? E.g. Open ITT, Framework if so, which one?

Response

Q1. N/A.

Q2. We do not have a list of approved Contractors. When the Forestry Commission in Scotland split in April 2019 and two organisations were established, Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) and Scottish Forestry (SF), SF were able to access contracts set up by FLS for building maintenance. In 2021, due to legalities, SF were no longer able to access these contracts. As we only have a requirement to source building services in three of our Conservancy Offices, we will procure services in line with Scottish procurement regulations as and when required.
