Scotland's new national local authority demolition framework has been launched.

The £16 million-a-year Demolition Framework is available to all council's and will deliver planned demolitions as part of regeneration and improvement work.

With 24 suppliers on the programme, the initiative will also respond to dangerous buildings with emergency demolitions in a three-hour-or-less response time.

95% of all levelled material will be recycled by suppliers, of which 70% are SMEs.

Cllr Mike Holmes, Convener of procurement organisation Scotland Excel, said: "Our new demolition contract is the first framework of its kind to offer demolition services to all 32 Scottish councils. It will give them the tools to quickly and efficiently source work from specialist contractors that have gone through a detailed tender process.

"As well as securing the competitive rates for emergency demolition labour - mini competitions for planned works will ensure councils get competitive prices, quick turn around, and tailored work packages to meet the specific needs of each scheduled demolition programme."
