title: Nikon Spinning Disc Upgrade

procurementMethodRationale:
The Light Microscopy Core (LMC) purchased a Yokagawa W1 spinning disk unit to upgrade a microscopy currently housed in the LMC. This equipment will enable the LMC to perform very high-speed imaging of live samples with greatly reduced phototoxic/photobleaching effects. This ability is transformative for the research groups using the facility and opens up the possibility of high resolution, high speed timelapse imaging which has been an unfulfilled requirement for a number of years.
 The configuration of the current microscope uses existing Nikon software. Utilising a different software would compromise required output of the existing microscope which is being upgraded to allow further functionality. Therefore, this upgrade can only be provided by Nikon.

For example if a question is weighted 10 percent and the submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then the score achieved will be 7.5 percent out of a possible 10 percent. Bidders will be required to achieve a minimum score of 50 percent (35 percent after technical weightings are applied) or more of the technical score. Each supplier achieving a score greater or equal to 50 percent will only then progress through to the commercial evaluation.
 Stage 3 - Commercial (Price) shall be allocated a total weighting of 30 percent. This total weighting has been split into 3 cost areas as detailed in the tender documentation. The bidder who submits the lowest price will be awarded the maximum score for the associated cost area, and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid. Scores for each of the 3 cost areas will then be added together to give each Bidder a total commercial score.
 Both Technical and Commercial scores will be added together at the end of the evaluation process to calculate the most economically advantageous tender.

 SPD Question 4A.1 Trade Registers
 It is a requirement of this tender that if the Tenderer is UK based they must hold a valid registration with Companies House. Where the Tenderer is UK based but not registered at Companies House they must be able to verify to the SPA’s satisfaction that they are trading from the address provided in the tender and under the company name given.
 Tenderer's within the UK must confirm if they are registered under Companies House within this question.

minimum:
SPD Question 4B5 Insurances
 Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to provide their current Employers Liability Insurance certificate which should include name of the insurers, policy numbers, expiry date and limits for any one incident and annual aggregate caps and the excesses under the policies.

 Product Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP in respect of each claim and in the aggregate. Tenderers may be required to provide a copy of their current Professional Indemnity Insurance certificate.
 EPD Question 4B6 Financial Standing:
 The Authority will access a Credit safe report for a Tenderers organisation and use the information contained within to assist with the assessment of the Tenderer’s economic and financial standing. Tenders are asked to provide their company number within the SPD to allow the Authority to access a Credit Safe Report.
 Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed as a score of less than 30 (high risk of business failure). In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of 30 and below i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further.
 If you are successful in the award of this contract and your risk failure rating falls below 30 then the SPA reserve the right to remove you from this contract. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date.
 For the avoidance of doubt, the SPA will request a report from Credit Safe following the closing date for the receipt of the Tenders to ensure that the most up to date information is used. Where you are not registered on credit safe e.g. charitable organisations or new start companies/ Sole Traders with less than 3 years trading history, discretionary powers are available to the Director of Finance to consider abbreviated accounts along with bankers references etc.
 Tenderer's should be aware that any outstanding County Court Judgements will have a detrimental effect on the rating held by Credit Safe and it is your responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date - failure to do so will result in rejection of your submission.
 IMPORTANT NOTE: This requirement is not applicable to Sole Traders/ Charities. Sole Traders/ Charities may be required to provide a bankers reference if successful.
