reviewDetails:
The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no
 deselection notification has previously been
 made)applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement
 which notification will contain among other
 information, a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The
 notification will
 incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
 minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is
 not electronic) between the date on which
 the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to
 conclude the relevant framework agreement.
 The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will
 automatically continue the prohibition on entering
 into the framework agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or
 disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings
 to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the
 framework agreement has been entered into include
 the setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning
 tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against
 the authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the
 framework
 agreement unless grounds for the imposition
 of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be
 established. Otherwise the remedies that may be
 awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to
 the award of damages. Economic operators are
 entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further
 clarification. The authority will respond within
 15 days of such a written request, but it should be noted that receipt by the authority of such
 request during the standstill period may not
 prevent the authority from awarding the framework agreement following the expiry of the
 standstill period. Economic operators should
 approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy 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 under the Public
 Contracts(Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014,
 may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the court of session

description: The service will work with principles of restorative family support and family group decision making approach in each of the six HEART (Help Everyone at The Right Times) areas to identify and support children and families in need of support at the earliest possible point in order to prevent, mitigate and recover from the challenges they are experiencing by recognizing and building on family strengths. The service will provide direct early family focused support to achieve more consistency in identifying and responding to families’ needs. This has the potential to lead to better understanding of agency roles, improved multi-agency working and a more confident service delivery. It is hoped that as early identification improves, help would be offered to families earlier, resulting in a reduced number of referrals upwards into more targeted and statutory services such as area social work teams and CAMHS. In the long term, it is anticipated that resources will be used more effectively. Ultimately, a lower number of children and young people would become the subject of a Child Protection plan, or require to become Looked After

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

procurementMethodRationale:
The University, on behalf of the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation hub, entered into a contract with Sotax Ltd to provide a fully automated dissolution system. The dissolution system will be used by CMAC solely for research purposes and will not be used to establish commercial viability or recover research and development costs.
 Sotax offer a dissolution system that can perform multiple 100% unattended dissolution runs including media preparation, vacuum de-gassing, gravimetric vessel filling, multiple sample additions, sampling (resident probe and auto-lift), in vessel temperature monitoring, filtration, fast media change in line with USP requirements whilst running a test and self-cleaning. The system also makes it possible to obtain results in real-time with integrated spectroscopy (e.g UV-VIS) and collect samples offline for different analutical techniques such as HPLC.
 This allows CMAC, as an internationally leading research centre, to add to its dissolution testing capability with the addition of a fully automated system. Dissolution is a key part of CMAC's overall analytical capability, supporting CMAC's extensive research programme and partnerships with Tier 1 (industrial pharmaceutical) partners.
 As a result of the aforementioned provisions, the University awarded the contract for Supply, Delivery and Installation of Automated Dissolution System to Sotax Ltd.

 -	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.

 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.

 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.

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.

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.
