Architect and Lead Designer.
 To facilitate the development of the Madras / New College building the University of St Andrews require to engage a Professional Team incorporating the Design Team, which will be led by the Architect and Lead Designer.
 The Architect and Lead Designer will ultimately be responsible for developing the Final Project Brief in conjunction with the University and subsequently developing/co-ordinating the design package, that addresses the University’s requirements whilst recognising cost and time parameters. Stakeholder engagement, presentations to all levels of the University and guiding the fully coordinated design team through the RIBA stages are key to the success of this project.
 In the Town Centre, the redevelopment of the Madras site will realise a new build element at c8,000m² with c2,000m² of restored and refurbished historic buildings. This team will be required to work with key users, departments and the university community to progress a design that will capture both the university’s current aspirations to create an inclusive and innovative environment, and some future requirements, all to realise the full potential of this key site.
 The site comprises an early nineteenth-century building, with a neo-Jacobean frontage and a neo-medieval quadrangle behind it. It includes outbuildings of a similar date to the right of the main building on South Street. All these buildings will be retained and reconfigured. Behind them is a jumble of post-war building occupying the site back to the Lade Braes Walk. These buildings are to be demolished. The University took possession of the site from Fife Council in October 2021. A standalone project to secure, make safe and demolish relevant parts of the building is now underway.
 The University is committed to retaining and restoring the listed 19th-century buildings and marrying them to a new building to be erected on the site behind it, replacing the old school buildings. It is our vision that – together with the older outbuildings – this development will deliver an outstanding result for the University and the town. Hosting three of our Academic Schools (Economics & Finance, International Relations, Management), the New College will be a centre of excellence for research and teaching in the Social Sciences.
 As the home to some 200 academic and support staff and more than 2,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, the New College will be the largest single building complex in the Faculty of Arts in the University’s estate. We expect it to deliver the very best conditions for teaching and research, for social interactions and public events. It must provide outstanding and future-proofed spaces for formal and informal teaching, for learning and studying both in groups and individually, for conviviality (café and meeting spaces) and conferences. The student experience is at the heart of our operation. We strive to provide a wide range of learning environments to suit different needs and preferences not just for students in the three Schools to be co-located at the New College site but from across the whole University. The suite of teaching spaces will include a raked, active lecture theatre alongside larger flat floored lecture/seminar spaces and a substantial number of 25-seater seminar rooms. Three specialised computer classrooms are also envisaged.
 We expect a building of outstanding quality, that is aesthetically pleasing as well as highly functional, that fits sensitively into its historic setting and fully reflects the University’s commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The development of the design brief, procurement, and construction strategy will strive to attain net-zero carbon, aligning to the University target of becoming a net-zero carbon organisation by 2035. The project must achieve a minimum of BREEAM Excellent, EPC A rating, and Carbon Neutral for operations..

BMS Reinstatement
 In February 2019 the Bio Molecular Sciences (BMS) Building suffered a fire which spread into a number of laboratory areas. The efforts to extinguish the fire resulted in significant water damage to all areas and systems within the building.
 The reinstatement project will be delivered in 2 phases. Phase 1 comprises the Curtain Walling and Roof repairs necessary to provide a dry “shell” ready for fitting out. Phase 2 comprises the “fit out” works. Phase 1 is under way and does not form part of this contract.
 The brief is clear; the reinstated BMS building needs to provide a recognisable Biology “front door”, providing World Leading research, teaching and breakout facilities in a warm and welcoming building. Importantly the building entrance needs to reflect this. The strategy for the reinstated BMS building is summarised below:
 Level 1 – Biology research, slightly reconfigured
 Level 2 – Biology research, slightly reconfigured
 Level 3 – Biology teaching, largely reconfigured to accommodate new function.
 Level 4 – Chemistry / Biology research, slightly reconfigured
 There are several areas of layout change to the BMS; in the most part, they increase the space efficiency and lab safety within the building. There is also a newly designed front entrance and reception lobby with an area of external landscaping at the front door.
 The reconfigured laboratory areas will have; new lab benching, new fume cupboards and new finishes throughout. The office and write up areas will receive new finishes and furniture. All areas will have new M&E fitout.
 Roughly 60% of the works are related to the M&E systems, due to the highly serviced specification of the building and particularly the laboratory areas. Replacement of the Mechanical & Electrical systems provides an opportunity for the University to improve the energy efficiency and create a Smart building.
 The BMS building will be handed over to the successful contractor for the duration of the contract works, however the building is linked at all levels to neighbouring University buildings and is located in the heart of the North Haugh campus. Careful consideration will be required for the safe segregation, coordination and management of the works within a live campus environment.
 The key programme dates for the reinstatement project are summarised below:
 Curtain Walling works complete – Early summer 2020
 Tenders returned and contract awarded – Midsummer 2020
 Fitout works complete – Early summer 2021
 Lab commissioning / move management – Late Summer 2021
 The Main Contractor will require to work collaboratively with the Design Team, the University estates department and other potential partner projects in and around the site and must be able to demonstrate a robust understanding and experience of working on buildings of comparable type and location..

Architectural services to design and take role as lead consultant on a proposed social enterprise and well being centre at Castlemilk Nursery site, Glasgow.
 The proposed development is running in tandem with a housing development. Land for both is being purchased as one from Glasgow City Council and coordination required for statutory approvals (e.g. RCC), PUs and infrastructure. Architect for housing project has been procured via the Link Group Framework. Proposal is now to employ the same architectural firm for the SEWC to ensure coordination.

title: Architectural Services- Social Enterprise and Well Being Centre

description: Architectural Services relating to proposed Social Enterprise and Well-Being Centre

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
Cassiltoun previously awarded Collective Architecture the commission for architectural services relating to its planned housing development at the Castlemilk Nursery site, Barlia Terrace, Glasgow.. OJEU Ref 2020/S 083-197976 https://ted.europa.eu/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:197976-2020:TEXT:EN:HTML&src=0
 That project comprises only housing and as such the Association was able to use the Link Group Framework for the procurement of Architectural services.
 The Association now wishes to incorporate a Social Enterprise and Well Being Centre within the site. As this is non-residential the Association cannot use the Link Group Framework for procurement of the design team.
 For technical reasons, it is not practical for a separate design team to design the SEWC as the residential and non-residential need to integrate with each other, particularly in relation to public utilities, RCC, drainage etc.
 The fee associated with the original commission for housing was 374,458.40GBP. The fee for the additional commission is 66,527.43GBP

description:
It is intended that a total of 3 economic operators be invited to tender stage for this Contract. The selection criteria is set out below, (i) to (vi) inclusive.
 These economic operators shall be those who have:
 (i) submitted a compliant submission, comprising the completed ESPD;
 (ii) satisfied the relevant selection criteria under the exclusion grounds;
 (iii) (a) Minimum Standards of Eligibility—provided evidence of working on specified types of projects over a specified value;
 (b) Technical or Professional Ability—provided evidence demonstrating an acceptable level of technical or professional ability; and
 (c) Human Resources—possess the necessary human resources, qualified appropriately to perform the requirement.
 (iv) Quality, environmental and health and safety management systems and appropriate sustainability measures attributing significantly to
 the requirement put in place;
 (v) satisfied minimum standards of economic and financial standing;
 (vi) achieved the first, second, third, fourth or fifth highest combined weighted scores in respect of technical or professional ability calculated in accordance with the responses to Statements (c), (d), (e) and (f) (refer to Section III.1.3).
 However, if an economic operator has not submitted a compliant submission as described in (i) above, failed in respect of either (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, then that economic operator shall be excluded from the ranking of scores described in (vi) as above.
 In terms of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, there will be a requirement on economic operators to provide proof of economic and financial standing and of technical and professional ability prior to proceeding to the next stage of the competition and contract award and the tender documents will contain specific provisions requiring tenderers to inform Transport Scotland of any changes to their economic and financial standing or technical and professional ability during the procurement competition. Further, Transport Scotland reserves the right to undertake further verification to ensure continuing compliance with the selection criteria at any time prior to contract award, including during any standstill period. If means of proof does not satisfy Transport Scotland's selection criteria and/or if an economic operator no longer meets the requirements set out in the tender documents it shall be excluded from this procurement competition. If this follows tender evaluation, including during any standstill period, the most economically advantageous tenderer shall be recalculated and requested to provide proof of economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability with a view to contract award.
 Economic operators who do not meet: selection criteria as set out in this contract notice; requirements leading to exclusion otherwise set out in the tender documents or who would otherwise be excluded automatically under Regulation 58(1)-(3) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or at the discretion (if exercised so as to exclude) of Transport Scotland under Regulation 58(4) or 58(8), shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

description:
Transport Scotland intends to undertake a public procurement competition for the provision of Archaeology Services, which are required on Transport Scotland projects. The services comprise of Invasive Archaeology Services, Non-Invasive Archaeology Services, and Advisory Services.
 Over the forthcoming years, there a number of projects which shall require such archaeological services. These include, but are not limited to:
 -	A9 Dualling Programme; and
 -	A96 Dualling Programme
 Due to the repeat need for these services, coupled with the exact requirement and timings being unknown, it is considered that these services would be best met through the use of a framework agreement. Furthermore, due to the nature and quantum of the services it is intended that the services will be divided into 3 lots:
 -	Lot 1 – Advisory Services;
 -	Lot 2 – Low Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values <100k GBP)
 -	Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP)
 Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows:
 -	Lot 1, 5M GBP
 -	Lot 2, 0.25M GBP
 - Lot 3, 21M GBP
 Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
 Transport Scotland will conduct the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

III.1.3) Technical and professional ability of the Contract Notice Part A
 III.1.3) Technical and professional ability (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 Under ESPD: Question Ref. 4C1.2 economic operators shall be required to insert suitable responses to Statements (a) to (f) set out below, demonstrating that they have the required minimum standards of eligibility and technical and professional ability.
 Answers to these statements shall be provided by single economic operators and by groups of economic operators (group members should not respond individually).
 Response to Statement (a) shall be assessed on the basis of PASS or FAIL. Economic operators who fail to satisfy this minimum standard (either they answer ‘No’ or fail to provide an acceptable answer) shall be excluded from the procurement competition.
 Statement (b) is not scored but is required to be completed.
 The responses to Statements (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be assessed on the basis of a score with a minimum threshold, using the following
 scoring mechanism:
 – Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion (0 - Unacceptable);
 – Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capability/capacity (1 - Poor);
 – Response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience, knowledge and skills/capacity/capability but may lack in some aspects of similarity e.g. previous experience, knowledge or skills may not be of a similar nature (2 - Acceptable)
 – Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (3 - Good)
 – Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (4 - Excellent)
 An ESPD submission shall be marked as FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved for any statement is less than 2. Where a response is 2 or greater it shall be weighted in accordance with the following weightings: Statement (c) = 30%; Statement (d) = 30%; Statement (e) = 25%; Statement (f) = 15%. The weighted scores shall be aggregated to calculate a score out of 100 for the 4 statements.
 Words in excess of the maximum word limit for each statement will neither be considered nor scored.

Additional Information for III.1.2) - part B
 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 Minimum level(s) of standards required:
 Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below:
 Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B6)
 The following nine evaluation criteria shall be scored, for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years:
 1. Acid Test Ratio
 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio
 3. Return on Capital Employed
 4. Operating Profit Ratio
 5. Net Worth
 6. Gearing
 7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover
 8. Filed Accounts
 9. Audit Report
 The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). For the purpose of calculating the Annual Contract Value to Turnover ratio the estimated value in II.2.6 of this Contract Notice shall be adopted. Similarly, the duration of the framework agreement shall be 4 years. This equates to an estimated value of 416.7k GBP for Lot 1, 62.5k GBP for Lot 2 and 1.75M GBP per annum per economic operator.
 The nine evaluation criteria will be individually scored and given a total aggregated score, out of a possible 50 marks, for each year of trading. Subsequently, each year’s score will be weighted, with the most recent (“Year 1”) weighted at 2/3rds and the previous (“Year 2”) weighted at 1/3rd, and then aggregated to form an overall score for the two years out of 50 marks.
 If the economic operator is trading for less than 2 years, their financial ratios for the most recent full year of trading will be weighted at 2/3rds scored out of the total 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 1 year the information provided under III.1.2 b), will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the a full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by an economic operator (either a single economic operator or a group of economic operators) is less than 25 marks, out of the potential total aggregated score of 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the economic operator is unable to provide appropriate information to enable the calculation of the financial ratios.
 Where the submission has been submitted by a group of economic operators, the information submitted by each group member will be evaluated in the proportion of the percentage shareholdings or percentage equity/interest of each group member and a score determined for such group of economic operators on that basis.
 A “group of economic operators” is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture.
 Insurance (Question Ref. 4B5) In response to Question Ref. 4B5 a, b and c economic operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the framework agreement, the following levels of insurance: Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = Lots 1 and 2 are 5M(million) GBP Lot 3 is 10M GBP, Public Liability Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 and 3 are 5M GBP and Professional Indemnity Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 is 1M and Lot 3 is 5M (GBP).
 Such insurances shall provide cover to a value of at least the value stated in respect of each and every claim in the period of the insurance, but shall be limited to the value stated in the aggregate in the period of insurance.
 In responding to Question Ref 4B.5 a, b and c, where the economic operator responds “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” they shall be marked as FAIL and shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

description:
Additional Information for III.1.2) - part A
 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. To determine these standards, economic operators shall:
 a) in response to ESPD, Question Ref 4B1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years;
 b) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B6 provide the name, range and score of nine financial criteria for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and
 c) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B5a, b and c confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance.
 In addition to the information requested under (a) to (c), economic operators must provide a link/ copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company). For the avoidance of doubt, if an economic operator fails to provide accounts relating to its last two full years of trading that are due to have been filed, that economic operator shall be excluded from this procurement competition.
 Where economic operators have not yet been trading for a full two year period, such that filed accounts are not yet due and available, and limited only to that circumstance, the required information to support (a) to (c) above may take the form of appropriate third party / statements setting out turnover, profit and loss, cashflow (current and forecast) and the economic operator’s credit facility position. Note there will, however, be a negative scoring implication, as noted below and in the Additional Documents.
 This above information is requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought.

 Due to the repeat need for these services, coupled with the exact requirement and timings being unknown, it is considered that these services would be best met through the use of a framework agreement. Furthermore, due to the nature and quantum of the services it is intended that the services will be divided into 3 lots:
 -	Lot 1 – Advisory Services;
 -	Lot 2 – Low Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values <100k GBP)
 -	Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP)
 Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows:
 -	Lot 1, 5M GBP
 -	Lot 2, 0.5M GBP
 - Lot 3, 21M GBP
 Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
 Transport Scotland will conduct the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

description: Fife NHS Board require a modification to a contract to provide the continuation of services for GP IT Systems from their current contractor to cover an extended transition period of 24 months to new services provided under the framework agreement by National Services Scotland [‘NSS’], on behalf of entities constituted pursuant to the National Health Service (Scotland) Act 1978, local authorities, to entities constituted pursuant to the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014, the Scottish Prison Service, GP practices or premises from which GP or primary medical care services are provided, for GP IT Managed Services (OJEU 2019/S024-053582). This modification allows contractors that have been appointed to the framework agreement to achieve a specified extent of compliance with certain functional and non-functional requirements which were all clearly identified in the procurement documents. This validation exercise is agreed to take 12 months. This modification then allows for 6 months for these practices to agree a new call-off contract following mini competition according to the rules of the framework agreement. This modification allows for a further 6 months transition from old services to new.

reviewDetails:
Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formalremedy is to apply to the courts:
 An economic operator that suffers or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty underthe Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bringproceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session

procurementMethodRationale: To provide continuation of essential current GP IT clinical system provision until services are replaced by the new services procured under the GP IT managed services framework agreement by NSS [2019/S024-053582]. The contracting authority relies on Regulation 72 (1)(b) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 where a change of contractor cannot be made for economic or technical reasons and it would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50 % of the initial contract value.

About CivTech
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create solutions to public sector problems as quickly and effectively as possible. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the emerging product to the world.

title: CivTech 5 Challenge 6 - Increasing Digital Public Services Use Through Digital Inclusion

description:
How can technology help government drive up the use of digital public services amongst groups that have traditionally been digitally excluded?
 The Connecting Scotland programme is an ambitious initiative addressing the issue of digital exclusion, and in 2020-21 will be reaching thousands of previously digitally excluded people, providing them with a device, data and training to become active online. This has many economic and social benefits, both for individuals and the nation. One is increased access to digital public services – for example applying for benefits, video based GP consultations, and looking for information about training.
 Many of our users will be unaware of the digital public services they can access, be unfamiliar with using devices, and may have concerns or anxieties about even trying them out. So as well as providing devices and data, the programme focuses on overcoming these issues.
 Going forward, we would like to extend the reach of the programme to everyone who is excluded – currently around 1 in 8 people in Scotland has low to no digital skills, and around 300,000 households have no access to the internet at home. But this will require investment, and for that we need robust evidence of the programme’s value. In short, we need to demonstrate the programme is increasing the use of digital public services by collecting appropriate data - in a way that not only satisfies all statutory requirements but also builds trust with our users.
 How can tech help our users engage with and use digital public services, develop our evidence base, and build trust with our users?

title: CiTech 5 Challenge 9 - Innovating to support NHS Scotland’s Test and Protect approach

description:
Post-Covid economic recovery means every organisation is now a ‘health business’ and this will manifest in ways that have never been required before. While there will be people who will need to return to existing work locations, many will continue to work from home, and for many others near home working at local hubs will offer huge advantages.
 It is vital that in all these locations people can go to work confident that they are located in a healthy environment where the chances of infection are minimised.
 This requires a testing process that is as robust, effective, timely and accurate as possible: we need to be able to [1] better identify who needs a test, [2] speed up the process of getting a reliable sample suitable for testing, [3] create faster test turnarounds, and [4] faster ways of getting tests results back to citizens and other stakeholders - securely and accurately. All of these things need to be useful to both health professionals, and to businesses.
 We are aware that it is unlikely a single solution will solve all four of the requirements, so we are happy to consider any proposal that has the potential to solve one or more.
 How can innovation help NHS Scotland to support employers to ensure the health of their people?

name: Highlands and Islands Transport Partnership (HITRANS)

title: CivTech 5 Challenge 7 - How can we use technology to create a smart and sustainable travel network in remote and rural areas?

description:
The geography of the Highlands and Islands results in a challenging transport environment, covering almost 50% of Scotland’s landmass but with only 10% of its population. While dispersed settlements are reliant on a good transport network for connectivity and access to key services, the financial sustainability of traditional transport services is a significant challenge. Traditional models are based on a “critical mass” of demand which by its very nature is lacking in most rural and remote areas. Now more than ever it is important we understand the transport available for use within the region (including buses, ferries, trains, car clubs and cycling), and create a more flexible, demand-responsive system that meets the needs of users, calculates and understands travel patterns as well as addressing cost efficiencies and long-term viability. We know there here are huge opportunities to use technology to create a smart and sustainable travel network in remote and rural areas.
 So how can we transform the future of rural transport and support out highland communities to thrive?
