Response

As a point of clarification, the core Scottish Government (SG) receives Facilities Management (FM) services through a competitively tendered contract. In addition to SG, the contract also provides services to four Executive Agencies. Because all of the parties in receipt of services were named in the contract, and no other parties can join it following award, it is not a framework. The answers provided below relate to core SG’s use of the contract only.

1. The contract allows Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to change in order that they best support positive contract management. The KPIs for the core SG, current at the time of this reply, are attached.

2. The suppliers who applied for inclusion on the contract are shown at each stage of the Procurement Journey in the table below:
