Decarbonisation works.
M&E refurbishment.
Fabric upgrades.
Building Management Systems.
Renewable generation.

How schools use it

Academies and LAs run a call-off mini-competition against framework suppliers. The framework provides public-procurement compliance; price is determined by call-off competition.

PSDS interaction

PSDS funds the works; RM6238 is one of the routes by which the works are procured. Re:Fit, SCAPE and Procure Partnerships are alternatives.

When it beats Re:Fit

RM6238 beats Re:Fit when the school has a clear scope and wants competitive pricing rather than ESCO-style guaranteed-savings. Re:Fit beats RM6238 when performance risk transfer matters.
