description: Option to extend the contract, at the Purchaser's discretion by 4 x 12 month periods

description:
The Agriculture and Rural Economy Directorate (ARE) within Scottish Government is responsible for supporting Scotland's sustainable economic growth in agriculture, the food industry and in rural areas.
 ARE delivers a broad range of essential payments and support services to rural customers across Scotland. There are a variety of schemes that benefit the rural sector both economically and environmentally. These are explained in significant detail on the Rural Payments and Services website. They are almost totally dependent on digital services and technologies to ensure that claims for subsidies, grants and support under several schemes are delivered in a timely, accurate and compliant way. This ensures farmers, crofters and land managers across Scotland receive the payments which they are entitled to and, overall, the Scottish Government fulfils its legal obligations and delivers its policy intentions.
 The main Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) Digital Platform is highly complex due to the significant level of accuracy in land measurement and associated actions that it needs to work to. It was specifically designed to apply the EU CAP regulations, often in great detail, based on a technical architecture that was first defined in 2012. Other technologies and services that predate the main Platform still form a vital part of the overall solution, and there have been some newer services introduced that are based on the latest technologies and approaches available.
 There is a triple imperative:
 1. The Purchaser will be continuing to modernise and improve the complete technical architecture that underpins the services;
 2. The Purchaser will be continuing to adapt the existing support schemes and introduce new ones that will deliver the desired outcomes for agriculture, the environment, biodiversity and the rural economy;
 3. The Purchaser will be continuing to apply digital thinking and innovation to exploit technologies and provide customer-centred, reliable, secure and cost-effective services.
 Change cannot be allowed to negatively impact the current business. Using the Rural Payments and Services (RP&S) Digital Platform and supporting Digital systems, Rural Payments and Inspections Division (RPID), from 18 offices throughout Scotland, processes payments of around 600 million GBP annually to customers, to the benefit of Scotland’s rural communities and the rural economy. The platform processes 36,000 types of claims per year for about 20,000 customers (representing 46,000 registered businesses) and has well over 99% availability to customers 24/7, 365 days a year. RPID is now making payments quicker than ever before.
 The primary focus of the Purchaser through this contract is the retiral, maintenance and enhancement of the current services, but also extending them and integrating them as appropriate in order to benefit from digital innovations. When new features are developed they will become “business as usual” and must be kept reliable and secure.
 The Climate Change and Environment Emergency is front and centre of the Government’s policy and ARE has a leading role in setting and delivering Climate Change related targets. ARE has published its Vision for Agriculture and Scotland’s Agricultural Reform Route Map which together set out how Scotland as a leader in sustainable and regenerative farming will be delivered. The Agriculture Reform Programme has been established to implement change. It is vital that services are reliable, secure and fully maintained as these now policies and approaches are implemented. Prospective Service Providers need to be aware that the changes and new services that are introduced through the ARP need to be seamlessly transitioned into current live services during the course of the Programme through to 2027 and beyond.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

The primary requirement is to put in place a contract for a Service Provider to work in partnership, primarily with the Purchaser, to ensure that reliable, secure and up to date services continue to be delivered. The Service Provider will support existing services as well as any new services that come into the production environment during the life of this contract. The contract will focus on the support, maintenance, upgrading and enhancement of current services. Any major new service designs and developments are likely to be subject to separate contractual arrangements, but this contract will have scope for some new development work should that be the practical and cost-effective approach.
 This contract must allow flexibility for the Purchaser to access the right resources, with the right skills, at the right time. The intention at the outset is the Service Provider will be required to provide scalable access to resources by supplementing in-house staff and other specialist services predominantly in blended teams to ensure efficient and effective system maintenance, support, enhancement and modernisation activities. Work will be led by the Purchaser joined by Service Provider staff working in blended teams.
 The Purchaser has found that working in blended teams in recent years has been successful and wishes to retain this practice as its underpinning model and continue to drive flexibility and efficiencies in its ways of working. The Service Provider will likely be required to deliver some end-to-end projects during the life of the contract, working to Scottish Government agreed standards and practices. The Service Provider will be required to provide resources and services that have the capability, flexibility and responsiveness required. The ability to scale up, scale down and potentially swap out based on emerging requirements and technology is vital.

description: To allow suppliers sufficient time to consider all of the answers provided in Circular Advice Note 1, we have opted to extend the SPD deadline to Wednesday 8th May at 12pm.

minimum:
Stage One
 Insurance Levels
 Employers Liability Insurance in accordance with any legal requirement at the time being in force
 Public Liability Insurance - 1 million GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total.
 Professional Indemnity Insurance - 5 million GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total.
 Cyber Liability Insurance - 1 million GBP
 Average “General” Annual Turnover
 Economic operators must have an average “general” annual turnover of 15 million GBP over the last 3 years.
 Stage Two
 Any other economic or financial requirements
 There is no action required of Economic Operators at this stage.
 Economic Operators must have a D&B 'Failure Score' of 51 or above.
 If the Economic Operator (or any consortia or reliance partner) does not meet the financial requirements outlined above or if the D&B score is not available, we will contact the Economic Operator and seek further information. We will then use this further information to assess the Economic Operator’s level of financial risk. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e it is unacceptable) the Economic Operator will fail this assessment.
 In the event that the Economic Operator does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the Economic Operator may still be eligible for consideration where their submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee (provided that the Parent Company meets the minimum financial criteria). Where the Economic Operator does not have a Parent Company some other form of assurance such as a performance bond may be acceptable.
 If the Economic Operator (or any consortia or reliance partner) does not pass the above assessment and is unable to provide a Parent Company Guarantee or some other form of assurance, this will result in a fail and the Economic Operator will be excluded.

description:
The Economic and Financial Standing Assessment will be undertaken in two stages:
 Stage One:
 Economic operators will be required to confirm they have or commit to obtain the required levels of insurance cover specified below.
 Economic operators will be required to provide their “general” annual turnover for the last 3 years.
 Stage Two:
 The Scottish Government will undertake a further financial assessment for each economic operator using Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Failure Risk Score for the economic operator and any consortia or reliance members, as detailed in the minimum level(s) of standards required below.
 Details of the D&B ”A Guide to Dun & Bradstreet’s Predictive Indicators” – can be found using the http address below:
 https://www.dnb.co.uk/about-us/our-analytics/predictors-scores-ratings/scores-ratings.html
 There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the economic operator’s economic and financial standing.
 The Scottish Government reserves the right to request copies of financial accounts and insurance certificates which are not held electronically.

minimum:
4C1.2 Previous Experience
 Economic Operators will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in part II.2.4 of the Find a Tender Service Contract Notice or the relevant section of the Site Notice. Economic Operators should refer to the SPD Guidance Document on PCS-T for further information.
 4C.4 Supply Chain Management
 If Economic Operators intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the Contract Notice, they should confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. This will include confirmation that they have the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, and provide evidence when requested of:
 a) their standard payment terms
 b) ≥95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year.
 If the Economic Operator is unable to confirm (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves the payment performance.
 4C.7 Environmental Management
 Economic Operators will be required to provide assurance that their organisation has taken steps to build their awareness of the climate change emergency and how they will respond. Accepted evidence includes:
 - a completed copy of the Bidder ‘relevant contract’ Climate Change Plan Template, including planned projects and actions to reduce the bidder’s carbon emissions.

description: The primary requirement of the procurement is to appoint a supplier to work in partnership and supplement in-house resources and other specialist services in blended teams to ensure efficient and effective system maintenance, support, modernisation and enhancement.  There will be scope for completely new developments that will require to be integrated with existing services. Working in blended teams in recent years has been successful so ARE wishes to retain this practice and continue to drive flexibility and efficiencies in our ways of working. However, there may also be a requirement for the supplier to deliver end-to-end projects during the life of the contract, working to Scottish Government agreed standards and practices. Capability, flexibility and responsiveness are key in terms of the resources and services that are required. The ability to scale up, scale down and potentially swap out based on emerging requirements and technology is vital.  Support will not only cover support for our existing services, but also the services that are under development during the lifetime of the contract.

description:
At the outset of the procurement a value of 95m GBP was set for the duration of this contract (initial term plus extension options). This figure has been chosen to allow flexibility should ARE require more resource than currently anticipated over the potential seven-year contract. Based on current spend on similar existing contracts, we anticipate spend to be in the region of 60-85m GBP. However, there is no guarantee of level of spend under the contract.
 The contract will mainly operate through a Statement of Work mechanism whereby the Purchaser and the Service Provider agree well in advance the the capabilities and services required for a defined period ahead or for a specific piece of project-oriented work.
 The Service Provider has committed to delivering the following community benefits as a result of this contract:
 - Paid internships and mentoring sessions/skills masterclasses for up to 12 students per year.
 - Four 1-week work experience programmes for at least 25 (up to 50) young people each year in Scotland.
 - 4,500 people training hours on digital skills for farms/micro-enterprise including donation of 150 digital devices.
