Bids for the role of private sector partner will be evaluated against 4 key themes which align with the requirements. Each will be explored in dialogue. A: Property Development & Management Services - develop and manage the PSP land zone in line with the Place Strategy and Sustainability Strategy with sufficient levels of commercial health innovation accommodation to meet the BioQuarter Vision. B: Commercial Health innovation Services - provide commercial health innovation services/model that will see activation and accelerated growth of the ecosystem in line with the Innovation Strategy across the whole BioQuarter site. C: Community Impact Services - provide community impact services by working in partnership with the Contracting Authorities and BioQuarter’s other stakeholders to ensure that BioQuarter plays a significant community impact role in line with the Community Impact Strategy. D: Commercial and Legal - raise development funding and resourcing to deliver A, B & C and enter a sustainable, long-term framework to work in partnership and deliver the ambitions for BioQuarter.
 Property development and management is anticipated to be limited to the PSP land zones. Tenant retention, attraction, marketing and letting services is anticipated to be included in the scope in relation to BioQuarter NINE and the BioCubes where bidders consider these services will form an integral and valuable part of their proposals for a health innovation ecosystem. FM Services to some common areas out with the PSP land zones is anticipated to be included as a requirement.
 The Contracting Authorities aspire to have in the region of 50% of the GIA of development in the PSP land zone as commercial health innovation accommodation to maximise BioQuarter’s strategic objectives for economic growth and community impact and ensure a high level of accommodation is available for commercial health innovation companies and tenants. The Contracting Authorities understand that this ambition needs to be balanced with commercial viability.
 During dialogue, it is anticipated that accommodation proposals may be refined being informed by commercial viability, phasing and income generation solutions from bidders and/or the availability of third party public funding. Bidders will be expected to maximise the delivery of commercial health innovation accommodation and the evaluation of submissions will take into account the proportion of commercial health innovation accommodation proposed against the aspiration for in the region of 50%.
 The PSP will be responsible for setting the strategy for infrastructure provision to enable their development ambitions. This will include the provision of energy sources, to meet environmental standards set out in the Sustainability Strategy. The Contracting Authorities have explored some potential solutions which have included preliminary discussions with Midlothian Energy Limited. The Contracting Authorities have made no commitments to energy or infrastructure solutions and it is expected that options will be fully explored through dialogue.
 Whilst no third-party funding has to date been assured to support the project, the Contracting Authorities are actively pursuing such funding to support the development and bidders will be advised during dialogue. This is currently focussed on, but not limited to, grant funding programmes from the Scottish and UK Governments for low carbon energy solutions, general infrastructure works to make the PSP land zones ready for development and opportunities to accelerate the delivery of innovation space. The Contracting Authorities will advise bidders if the position regarding potential third-party public-sector funding changes during the continuance of the procurement exercise. Bidders will be expected to address the provision of funding for its activities in its bid.
 Please see section V.I.3 for details relating to the procurement documentation being released at this stage.. Bidders may be excluded from this procurement if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts.(Scotland) Regulations 2015. Bidders who are unsuccessful at this stage will be provided with feedback.Dialogue will continue until the Contracting Authorities are satisfied that they can identify the solution or solutions which are capable of meeting their needs.

title: Edinburgh BioQuarter Health Innovation District: Procurement of a Private Sector Partner

description:
Edinburgh BioQuarter is one of Scotland’s largest health/life sciences innovation locations and a place where new ideas thrive to revolutionise health and wellbeing. It is a renowned destination for first-class clinical delivery, academic expertise and scientific research. It has developed over the past 20 years into one of the UK’s leading life sciences parks.
 EBQ3 Ltd has been established by City of Edinburgh Council, Scottish Enterprise, and the University of Edinburgh (together the Contracting Authorities) with the objective to procure a private sector partner to work with them to invest in and accelerate the development of their vision at BioQuarter. The requirement of the private sector partner includes the delivery not only of new buildings, associated infrastructure and public realm on the available land, but also of health innovation services and community impact services, all in line with the “Primary Purpose” as described in the legal Heads of Terms. The private sector partner will be responsible for raising development funding to deliver the vision for BioQuarter. NHS Lothian is not a Contracting Authority for this procurement and is not involved in the procurement exercise.
 BioQuarter is a 167-acre site of which 103 acres has been, or is currently anticipated to be, self-developed by the Contracting Authorities and NHS Lothian themselves over the next 25 + years. Such future self-developments conducted by the Contracting Authorities will also be in line with the Primary Purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, the Primary Purpose will not apply to development on land owned by NHS Lothian. It is currently anticipated that the land available as part of this procurement exercise will be in the region of 64-acres of undeveloped land which is owned by Scottish Enterprise (the “PSP land zone”). The anticipated boundary is shown in the Bidders Information Pack. Early development assessments conducted by the Contracting Authorities estimate that there is development capacity in the region of 360,000 square metres gross internal (GIA) area in the PSP land zone.
 The vision of the Contracting Authorities is to transition BioQuarter into Edinburgh’s Health Innovation District; a new mixed-use urban neighbourhood of Edinburgh centred on a world leading community of health innovators and to grow BioQuarter into a global destination for pioneering health innovation and enterprise.
 Success for the BioQuarter Vision requires the acceleration of development and sufficient level of commercial health innovation accommodation to ensure BioQuarter is a model for commercial health innovation services that will see existing tenants and companies being retained and growing, and new tenants and companies being attracted. The Contracting Authorities aspire to have in the region of 50% of the GIA of development in the PSP land zone as commercial health innovation accommodation to maximise BioQuarter’s strategic objectives for economic growth and community impact and ensure a high level of accommodation is available for commercial health innovation companies and tenants. The Contracting Authorities understand that this ambition needs to be balanced with commercial viability.
 Whilst no third-party funding has to date been assured to support the project, the Contracting Authorities are actively pursuing such funding to support the development and bidders will be advised during dialogue. Further details of the opportunity, the proposed contractual arrangements and the procurement process are set out in the supporting documentation available in PCS-T.
 The Contracting Authorities are hosting an online bidders event on Tuesday 9th November 2021 from 09.00am to 10.00am GMT.

 COMPETITIVE PROCEDURE WITH NEGOTIATION EXPLANATION -Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) this is a two-stage procedure run along the same lines as a Restricted procedure. This requires interested parties to complete a pre-qualification stage by submitting a Single Procurement Document (SPD) before being invited to submit a tender. This down selection process allows us to limit the number of parties receiving the full tender and moving forward to the negotiation phase(s).
 Under CPN tenders are submitted from down selected suppliers and are then subject to evaluation and negotiation and then re-submitted to finalise positions and allow selection of a preferred bidder.

This Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) relates to the extension of the existing Insurance Provision contract. Having sought advice, to meet our statutory regulatory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be modified and awarded under Regulation 72 (1) (c) utilising the Modification of contracts during their term “by circumstances Clydesdale Housing Association (CHA) could not have foreseen”.
 Justification of this intention together with full details of the intended contract are included within sections II.2.4 and IV.1.1 of this notice.

title: Insurance Provision - Modification

procurementMethod: limited

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

procurementMethodRationale:
This Voluntary Ex-Ante Transparency (VEAT) relates to the extension of the existing Insurance Provision contract. Having sought advice, to meet our statutory regulatory requirements as a Registered Social Landlord, these public contracts shall be modified and awarded under Regulation 72 (1) (c) utilising the Modification of contracts during their term “by circumstances Clydesdale Housing Association (CHA) could not have foreseen”.
 Clydesdale Housing Association (CHA) intends to extend the existing Insurance Provision contract due to end 31 March 2024 to the 31 March 2026 with Marsh Ltd who are the current insurance service Broker/provider.
 This informed decision based on; the ongoing insurance marketplace uncertainty reflective of the post-Brexit economic environment, the far-reaching impact of the war in Ukraine, recent challenges faced by RSL’s relating to all services, and the current cost-of-living pressures; while concurrently seeking to ensure effective continuity of our insurance services to meet our statutory regulatory requirements. The insurance market for social housing providers has always been quite restricted, however in the field of property and liability this has hardened severely and quickly since the start of 2023. This has been accelerated by the departure of two main insurance providers to the Sector over the last 6 months, meaning the already limited capacity is much reduced. This has resulted in unsustainable market conditions, and we have seen insurers react this year applying significant rate increases on Renewals during the first quarter of 2023.
 CHA intend to go out to the marketplace for a new contract for Insurance Provision and this procurement process will commence 2025 Q3 with a target effective date contract date of 1st April 2026.

id: RGBE 2023 627 Larch Tree Felling Services

description:
What we need
 Felling of approximately 300 larch trees at Benmore Botanic Garden.
 The trees to be felled are located in various parts of the garden, many of which have an understory of a valuable scientific plant collection. Damage to these plants must be avoided.
 The larch range in size and age. The majority were planted circa 1900, some date back to 1820 and are of considerable size.
 Where feasible, timber should be cut to commercial lengths to maximize commercial value.
 Arisings are to be chipped on site at agreed locations. Chips are not to block water waterways or ditches.
 Removal of felled timber to agreed stacking sites at Benmore, will have to be carried out with minimal ground damage and compaction.
 Sale and movement of timber to commercial mills will be a requirement.
 Compliance with all RBGE operational requirements, including the ecology survey and biosecurity measures will be necessary.

title: Larch Removal Benmore

description:
RBGE has a legal requirement to comply with a Statutory plant health notice which has been issued by Scottish Forestry. The notice identifies that Phytophthora ramorum has spread to the larch trees at Benmore. (Appendix 7 STH22_0957a SPGN)
 The notice requires the removal of Larch trees from Benmore Botanic Garden.
 Due to the geographic topology and the requirement to protect the scientific plant collection of Benmore Botanic Garden, forestry style commercial harvesting will not be possible. The removal of trees will need to be undertaken by a combination of manual chainsaw operations and aerial arboriculture. Commercial harvesting equipment will have limited access.
 Felled trees will need to be removed from site for sale or disposal subject to controls of the Statutory plant health notice.
 The outcome of this piece of work will be removal of approximately 300 larch trees by July 2026 in compliance with the SPHN.

Breakwater: The current infrastructure at each side of the Sound of Iona is not fit for purpose and this is the main factor in service reliability for the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to and from Iona.
 The slipway on Iona is completely exposed and has no shelter from weather and this, combined with recent repair works involving steel shuttering, has resulted in making it difficult for the ferry to grip the pier, this has a negative impact on service provision.
 The result of inadequate infrastructure in the Sound of Iona has a direct impact on the lives of the people who live there. A day without a ferry results in essential services to the island being affected – medical, educational, refuse collection, business delivery etc.
 The solution to the situation is a breakwater at Iona. This infrastructure will enable a much improved service, and improved ability for lifeline services to travel to and from Iona with the facilitation of wider forms of economic development on both sides of the Sound.
 Slipway Repairs: A Principal Inspection in 2018 at Iona Slipways noted a number of defects requiring repair. A number of these repairs were completed under a construction contract awarded in May 2021, with a number of defects still outstanding and some items of works undertaken under the 2021 Construction Contract requiring correction.
 The works completed under the 2021 Construction Contract have been inspected and additional works progressed under a Phase 1 contract.
 This Phase 2 works contract shall complete all outstanding works at Iona Slipways to allow the slipways to continue to fully serve the community and the various services provided through the slipways.
 Public Toilet Block: The existing public toilet block, located between the exiting slipway and the proposed breakwater shall also be replaced.

 NHS 24 has awarded a contract with a suitably qualified supplier to provide integrated CC and CRM systems and related services. This is a contract for 5 years (plus one extension of up to 2 years) for a user friendly integrated system provided as software as service and cloud hosted.
 The intention is that the solution will be implemented by September 2025. It is important that the contract, solution and supplier support NHS 24 to provide safe digital services that connect the people of Scotland to the care they need. This includes supporting innovation throughout the duration of the contract, so that we offer choice and convenience to people seeking healthcare advice.
 Our mission is to provide the right care at the right place, 24/7. There are around 2m calls to NHS 24 each year and over 100m page views on the NHS Inform website. Through this contract award there is the opportunity to enhance our digital services with a modern multi-channel approach. High availability, so the people of Scotland can have confidence to reach us, all day every day, and increased flexibility to allow us to respond to the needs of people seeking healthcare advice (for example that IVR options can be changed by NHS 24 to reflect live service pressures or people can interact while on the IVR) are key considerations.
