# SPA Opens Scotland £900M Refurbishment Framework

The Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) has opened applications for its £900 million Refurbishment and Modernisation (RM4S) framework, covering planned and urgent refurbishment, maintenance, and repairs for public-sector housing and buildings in Scotland. Contractors can apply through SPA’s In-Tend portal by **December 11, 2026**—52 days from October 20—and should assess which general-trade or specialist workstreams fit their capabilities. The framework reserves a proportion of places for small businesses.

- The opportunity covers workstreams including damp and mould remediation, adaptations, kitchens, stonework, and reactive repairs; the stated £900 million is the framework value, not a guaranteed award to an individual contractor.
- Small businesses may be eligible for reserved places, making the framework relevant to firms that might otherwise face barriers to large public-sector opportunities.
- Contractors should review their service fit and submit applications through the In-Tend portal before the deadline.
