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.

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 contract 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 contract. The bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the contract 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 contract has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the contract to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the authority after the contract has been entered into will not affect the contract 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 contract 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 contract 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.

 The Public Sector in Scotland is committed to the delivery of high quality public services, and recognises that this is critically dependent on a workforce that is well-rewarded, well-motivated, well-led, has access to appropriate opportunities for training and skills development, diverse and engaged in decision making. These factors are also important for workforce recruitment and retention, and thus continuity of service.
 Public Bodies in Scotland are adopting fair work practices, which include:
 — a fair and equal pay policy that includes a commitment to supporting the living wage, including, for example being a living wage
 accredited employer;
 — clear managerial responsibility to nurture talent and help individuals fulfil their potential, including for example, a strong commitment
 to modern apprenticeships and the development of Scotland's young workforce;
 — promoting equality of opportunity and developing a workforce which reflects the population of Scotland in terms of characteristics such
 as age, gender, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation and disability;
 — support for learning and development;
 — stability of employment and hours of work, and avoiding exploitative employment practices, including for example no inappropriate use of zero-hours contracts;
 — flexible working (including for example practices such as flexi-time and career breaks) and support for family friendly working and
 wider work life balance;
 — support progressive workforce engagement, for example Trade Union recognition and representation where possible, otherwise
 alternative arrangements to give staff an effective voice.
 In order to ensure the highest standards of service quality in this contract we expect contractors to take a similarly positive approach to fair work practices as part of a fair and equitable employment and reward package.
 Bidders who are invited to submit an initial bid will need to describe how they will commit to fair work practices for workers (including any agency or subcontractor workers) engaged in the delivery of this contract.
 A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see:

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to gather market information with regards to a potential future tender opportunity - contract for comprehensive planned and reactive lift maintenance services.
 The contract will require suppliers to provide a fully comprehensive lift service to the University.

 As part of the moderation process NSS will assess information provided by bidders related to reduced turnover linked to the pandemic.
 4B2.2 Bidders will be required to have an average yearly turnover of a minimum of 200,000 GBP for the last 3 years based on submitted accounts for this period.
 As part of the moderation process NSS will assess information provided by bidders related to reduced turnover linked to the pandemic.

 4B.4 Bidders will be required to state the value(s) for the financial ratio(s) from their last three years accounts and will be evaluated as set down in the CDM / Construction and Property Health and Safety Advisor Framework Economic/Financial Standing Evaluation guidance attached to this SPD Question.
 4B.6 - Qualitative Moderation - As a requirement for the financial economic and financial standing evaluation, each potential supplier must complete Question 4B.6 of the SPD setting out the information as indicated in the instructional attachment to this question.
 If the combined weighted score for the ratios in 4B.4 achieved is below 3, the score may be subject to qualitative moderation based on the information provided by the potential supplier in response to 4B.6 and NSS’s review of verified information relating to the potential supplier which is publicly available over the year up to the date of the SPD submission. Such moderation may, subject to the following, result in the scores awarded being amended upwards.
 If following the above moderation exercise it is considered appropriate by NSS that a potential supplier should be invited to proceed to the Tender stage of this procurement exercise because in light of the further information considered by NSS, that potential supplier is considered, overall, to have evidenced adequate financial standing, then NSS may make that selection conditional upon the potential
 supplier providing appropriate performance and financial guarantees from relevant parent company(ies).
 NSS therefore reserves the right to require the provision to it of appropriate parent company financial data, and to assess risk as part of the qualitative moderation exercise on the basis of that parent company financial data (which will be assessed on the basis of the tests set out in section 3 above) is acceptable, and that a Parent Company Guarantee, in the form stipulated by NSS, would be entered into by an approved parent company or other guarantor acceptable to NSS.
 Potential suppliers must confirm that appropriate parent company information will be made available if sought, and that a Parent Company Guarantee in the form stipulated by NSS will be entered into as a condition of participation in the framework.
 Credit Scoring - NSS will credit check all potential suppliers and will use Creditsafe for these checks.
 Creditsafe ratings are as follows:
 - 71-100 Very Low Risk
 - 51-70 Low Risk
 - 30-50 Moderate Risk
 - 21-29 High Risk
 - 1-20 Very High Risk
 Potential Suppliers with scores within the Very High Risk and High Risk categories as defined above will not be permitted to proceed to Tender Stage unless information provided through the response to SPD Question 4B.6 is further assessed through the prescribed moderation process and NSS make a decision to invite the potential supplier to proceed to Tender stage.

title: ASSET MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE SOLUTION (CMMS)

description: CalMac Ferries Ltd are looking to purchase an Asset Management Technology Software Solution to control planned and unplanned maintenance of its vessels and buildings. This will be via a CMMS which must be Type Approved for vessel use.

description: Economic Operators will be evaluated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 on the basis of information provided within the Single Procurement Document(SPD).

minimum:
Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below:
 Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B.4)
 The financial information received under Question Ref. 4B.4 of the SPD shall be evaluated by CalMac Ferries and scored out of a total weighted score of 50 by allocating a score against nine individual economic and financial standing evaluation criteria, namely:
 1. Acid Test Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 3. Return on Capital Employed (maximum possible score 6)
 4. Operating Profit Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 5. Net Worth (maximum possible score 6)
 6. Gearing (maximum possible score 6)
 7. Annual Contract Value (2 Million GBP) to Turnover (maximum possible score 6)
 8. Filed Accounts (maximum possible score 2)
 9. Audit Report (maximum possible score 6)
 The individual scores shall be weighted for Year 1 and Year 2, with the most recent financial statements (Year 1) to be weighted at 67% with year 2 being weighted at 33%, to form an aggregated score for each of the nine criteria over the 2 years. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum cumulative score resulting from the summation of the nine economic and financial standing aggregated scores shall be 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by a Single Economic Operator (or a Group of Economic Operators) is less than 20 out of 50. The scoring mechanism document has been attached to the document attachment area of PCS-T. 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. However, where a bidder has structured themselves to rely on one bidder to satisfy elements then CFL shall require joint and several liability. In the event that any bidder does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the bidder may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
 There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the bidders economic and financial standing.
 In response to Question Ref. 4B.5.1a 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2 Economic Operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement the following levels of insurance:
 Employer’s Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million
 Public Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million
 Professional Indemnity Insurance = GBP 1 Million
 The bidder should purchase any other insurance cover as necessary, taking into account the terms and conditions of this contract.
 In responding to Question Ref. 4B.5.1a 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2 of the SPD, where a bidder ticks the box “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” the submission shall be marked as FAIL. Economic operators which alter their composition after making a submission will be the subject of re-evaluation. CalMac Ferries reserve the right not to conclude any contract as a result of the procurement process initiated by this notice and to make whatever changes CalMac Ferries deem appropriate to the content, process, timing and structure of the procurement process.

description:
Please refer to these statements when completing Qualification Envelope Part 4B of the SPD (Scotland) Statement for 4B.
 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 Question Ref. 4B.1.1 provide the specified ('general') annual turnover and the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not UK registered company) 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 Question Ref. 4B.2.1 provide the specified annual turnover in the business area(s) covered by the contract notice and the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not UK registered company) for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years;
 (c) in response to Question Ref. 4B.4 economic operators should provide the name and value of 9 (NINE) financial criteria for both of the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years. Economic operators must also insert the corresponding score for each of the 9 criteria, for both financial years, with reference to the Financial Scoring Mechanism for SPD (which can be found within the supplier attachment area of PCS-T). Economic operators should insert the score for each ratio value x 0.67 for Year 1 values and x 0.33 for Year 2 values to form an aggregated score as explained further below. The sum of these 2 weighted scores will be the weighted score for each ratio. The maximum possible weighted score for all 9 ratios is 50 (an example submission is provided within the Financial Scoring Mechanism document); and
 (d) in response to Question Ref. 4B.5 confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract, the required levels of insurance.

minimum:
Qualification Envelope: Part 3, Section A, B, C, D and Part 4 Section B will be scored on a pass/fail basis. If any question subject to
 ‘pass/fail’ scoring be scored ‘fail’ the entire submission may be set aside and take no further part in the competition.
 Statement for question 4C - Customer References
 The four highest scoring tenderers who are nominated to progress to the Invitation to Tender stage (ITT) will have their references taken up by CalMac Ferries limited. The object of this exercise is the validation of the information presented during the SPD process.
 Statement for question 4C.10 - Bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and if so, for what proportion of the contract.

description:
Technical or Professional Ability Part 4C.
 This SPD is designed to allow CFL to review evidence of prior implementations of your software product(s) and should not make forward-looking statements or predict where products or features may have utility for CFL.
 CFL will use the information provided in suppliers’ responses to questions in this SPD to demonstrate that your software product, as implemented, was:
 a. Modern, i.e. was able to demonstrate the use of supported software, was modular and extensible and offered production-proven API integration
 b. Off-the-shelf, i.e. was in use across multiple vessel operators, was built on a single codebase that was shown to be common to multiple client instances, and that followed a roadmap of security and feature releases that were common to the various vessel operator clients using the product within the examples provided.
 c. Market-proven, i.e. was shown to be in continuous use by vessel operator clients, and who have extended their relationship with your organisation beyond initial contract term and have implemented all published upgrades.
 In addition, CFL requires that you are able to demonstrate via previous examples that a range of implementation services, software support and maintenance arrangement (whereby new releases were provided along with support to remedy problems) were included with the software.
 Suppliers should note that evidence of meeting these criteria is expected in the response to each question.
 There are 10 scored questions under the following headings and full details of each question can be found in the Technical Envelope of the SPD.
 4C.1.2 - Question 1 (Condition Monitoring) = 5%
 4C.1.2 - Question 2 (Maintenance) = 15%
 4C.1.2 - Question 3 (Dry Dock) = 15%
 4C.1.2 - Question 4 (Assets) = 10%
 4C.1.2 - Question 5 (System Maintenance Data) = 5%
 4C.1.2 - Question 6 (Defect Management) = 10%
 4C.1.2 - Question 7 (Spares and Logistics) = 10%
 4C.1.2 - Question 8 (Technical Purchasing) = 10%
 4C.1.2 - Question 9 (Finance) = 10%
 4C.1.2 - Question 10 (IT) = 10%

CalMac Ferries Ltd (CFL) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of David MacBrayne Ltd, which is wholly owned by Scottish Ministers. Previously operating as Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd, CalMac was created in October 2006 to bid for the Scottish Government contract to operate Clyde & Hebrides Ferry Services, which it subsequently won.
 At the same time Caledonian MacBrayne Ltd changed its name to Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL) and retained ownership of the vessels and piers which it leases to the operator of the Clyde & Hebrides Ferry services (currently CFL). CMAL is also wholly owned by Scottish Ministers but is entirely separate from CFL. Although they have the same shareholder, each has its own Board and their relationship is solely contractual.
 CalMac Ferries Limited has one wholly owned subsidiary; Caledonian MacBrayne Crewing (Guernsey) Limited, which employs and supplies all sea going staff (approximately 1000) to CFL. CFL operates a fleet of 34 vessels, providing lifeline ferry services to the communities off Scotland’s west coast – from the Isle of Lewis in the north to the Isle of Arran in the south. Ferries sail to over 25 different destinations operating from 51 ports and slipways, some of which are in remote locations.

 -Between Troon Harbour, KA10 6DH and Harbour Road, Ardrossan, KA22 8BZ
 -Between Troon Harbour, KA10 6DH and Troon Railway Station (Both sides of the railway station)
 There may also be a requirement to travel to Gourock PA19 1QP in weather disruptions. It is anticipated that a shuttle bus service provision will be needed for a period of up to 21 months therefore, the service will be required to cover both the summer and winter timetables for the ferry service operating between Troon and Brodick/Campbeltown. The service should be available, 363 days per year (Christmas Day and New Year’s Day excluded).
 The Service Provider will be required to:
 -provide the ability to flex the service to cover fluctuating demand and to be able to cope with disruptions due to bad weather;
 -cater for all ages and abilities and have space for the travelling publics luggage and possessions;

 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.
