Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is developing a new Stone Procurement Framework for the purchase of stone by public sector organisations in Scotland, including HES itself, and, with apologies for the short notice, it invites stone suppliers to take part by joining a Zoom meeting on Wednesday, 20 January.

With a focus on sustainability, the new Framework should be good news for indigenous stone producers.

The aim is to invite suppliers to tender as suppliers at the end of March this year.

If you already supply stone to Scotland, or would like to, you can find out about the new Framework at the Zoom video workshop on Wednesday from 2pm.

The workshop discussion will be guided by a series of questions that will be circulated to participants in advance.

If you would like to attend the workshop and/or provide feedback via email to the questions, send an email to ali.davey@hes.scot.
