rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: SG officials consider that the combination of an unprecedented number of irregular migrants to the UK (including Scotland) combined with very long timeframes for Home Office decision making has created a backlog which could not be foreseen. Scottish Government Ministers wrote to Home Office Ministers in October 2023 highlighting the need to invest in the UK asylum system to increase the speed and quality of asylum decisions. The issue of National Referral Mechanism decision-making delays has also been raised by Scottish Ministers with the UKG-appointed Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of age-disputed presentations to the Service Provider, partly as a result of the growing number of asylum seekers being accommodated by the Home Office in Scotland under its Full Dispersal programme, and potentially due to the new removal measures for over-18s introduced by the UKG’s Illegal Migration Act (2023).

description: The nature and scope of the contract remain the same. However, the demand for services has increased beyond what was envisaged and therefore, additional funding has been required to ensure continuation of services.

Re ESPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet’s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.
 In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.
 It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.
 In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
 Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.
 With reference to ESPD Q4B.5.1a&b; It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:

In March 2021, the UK Government announced an ambition to deliver nationwide gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure, recognising that there is a need for government intervention in the parts of the country that are not commercially viable. They have committed a total of 5 billion GBP to ensure that all areas of the UK can benefit. This will be spent through a package of coordinated and mutually supportive interventions, collectively known as Project Gigabit, with an initial intervention of 1.2 billion GBP targeting at least 85% gigabit coverage of the UK by 2025 and nationwide gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure by 2030.
 As part of Project Gigabit, the Scottish Government is working with Building Digital UK (BDUK) to deliver contracts to suppliers delivering gigabit-capable wholesale infrastructure in Scotland. This procurement approach will be a successor to the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme and work in parallel with the Scottish Government’s current Reaching 100% (R100) programme.

Removal of Rhododendron ponitcum and Cotoneaster on NatureScot owned ground near Kinloch, on the Isle of Rum.
 This work is part of a wider strategy to eradicate these non-native plants from Rum, and our neighbours, the Isle of Rum Community Trust, are doing the same from their land holding.
 This project covers two areas;
 -	Area in proximity to Kinloch Castle, which is mostly wooded;
 -	Rum National Nature Reserve (NNR) neighbouring Kinloch to the south and west, which is mostly open ground.
 Rhododendron ponitcum and Cotoneaster have spread out from the wooded area of the village onto the NNR, becoming more sporadic with increased distance.
 The NNR ground is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Area (SPA).
 Due to the protected nature of the NNR, our preference is for the Lever and Mulch technique where all bushes will be lifted out complete with roots. We wish to avoid the use of chemicals, burning and heavy machinery on the NNR where possible. The more established stands near the castle (and outwith the SSSI) may require stem injection, and/or mechanical control. However, methods should be optimised for site recovery, and as such stems and brash could be left in situ providing this does not interfere with repeat treatments in future years.
 The work needs to be completed by 7th March 2023. Any follow up treatments will be covered under a separate contract.. The contract value is less than GBP50,000. And not considered a 'regulated procurement' as set out in the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. It’s being advertised to reach a wider field of candidates.
