description:
It is intended that a total of 3 economic operators be invited to tender stage for this Contract. The selection criteria is set out below, (i) to (vi) inclusive.
 These economic operators shall be those who have:
 (i) submitted a compliant submission, comprising the completed ESPD;
 (ii) satisfied the relevant selection criteria under the exclusion grounds;
 (iii) (a) Minimum Standards of Eligibility—provided evidence of working on specified types of projects over a specified value;
 (b) Technical or Professional Ability—provided evidence demonstrating an acceptable level of technical or professional ability; and
 (c) Human Resources—possess the necessary human resources, qualified appropriately to perform the requirement.
 (iv) Quality, environmental and health and safety management systems and appropriate sustainability measures attributing significantly to
 the requirement put in place;
 (v) satisfied minimum standards of economic and financial standing;
 (vi) achieved the first, second, third, fourth or fifth highest combined weighted scores in respect of technical or professional ability calculated in accordance with the responses to Statements (c), (d), (e) and (f) (refer to Section III.1.3).
 However, if an economic operator has not submitted a compliant submission as described in (i) above, failed in respect of either (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, then that economic operator shall be excluded from the ranking of scores described in (vi) as above.
 In terms of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, there will be a requirement on economic operators to provide proof of economic and financial standing and of technical and professional ability prior to proceeding to the next stage of the competition and contract award and the tender documents will contain specific provisions requiring tenderers to inform Transport Scotland of any changes to their economic and financial standing or technical and professional ability during the procurement competition. Further, Transport Scotland reserves the right to undertake further verification to ensure continuing compliance with the selection criteria at any time prior to contract award, including during any standstill period. If means of proof does not satisfy Transport Scotland's selection criteria and/or if an economic operator no longer meets the requirements set out in the tender documents it shall be excluded from this procurement competition. If this follows tender evaluation, including during any standstill period, the most economically advantageous tenderer shall be recalculated and requested to provide proof of economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability with a view to contract award.
 Economic operators who do not meet: selection criteria as set out in this contract notice; requirements leading to exclusion otherwise set out in the tender documents or who would otherwise be excluded automatically under Regulation 58(1)-(3) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or at the discretion (if exercised so as to exclude) of Transport Scotland under Regulation 58(4) or 58(8), shall be excluded from this procurement competition. For the avoidance of doubt, any economic operator who meets the selection criteria at the initial evaluation but subsequently, prior to contract award, fails to meet such criteria, shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

description:
Transport Scotland intends to undertake a public procurement competition for the provision of Archaeology Services, which are required on Transport Scotland projects. The services comprise of Invasive Archaeology Services, Non-Invasive Archaeology Services, and Advisory Services.
 Over the forthcoming years, there a number of projects which shall require such archaeological services. These include, but are not limited to:
 -	A9 Dualling Programme; and
 -	A96 Dualling Programme
 Due to the repeat need for these services, coupled with the exact requirement and timings being unknown, it is considered that these services would be best met through the use of a framework agreement. Furthermore, due to the nature and quantum of the services it is intended that the services will be divided into 3 lots:
 -	Lot 1 – Advisory Services;
 -	Lot 2 – Low Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values <100k GBP)
 -	Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP)
 Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows:
 -	Lot 1, 5M GBP
 -	Lot 2, 0.25M GBP
 - Lot 3, 21M GBP
 Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
 Transport Scotland will conduct the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

 III.1.3) Technical and professional ability (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 Under ESPD: Question Ref. 4C1.2 economic operators shall be required to insert suitable responses to Statements (a) to (f) set out below, demonstrating that they have the required minimum standards of eligibility and technical and professional ability.
 Answers to these statements shall be provided by single economic operators and by groups of economic operators (group members should not respond individually).
 Response to Statement (a) shall be assessed on the basis of PASS or FAIL. Economic operators who fail to satisfy this minimum standard (either they answer ‘No’ or fail to provide an acceptable answer) shall be excluded from the procurement competition.
 Statement (b) is not scored but is required to be completed.
 The responses to Statements (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be assessed on the basis of a score with a minimum threshold, using the following
 scoring mechanism:
 – Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion (0 - Unacceptable);
 – Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capability/capacity (1 - Poor);
 – Response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience, knowledge and skills/capacity/capability but may lack in some aspects of similarity e.g. previous experience, knowledge or skills may not be of a similar nature (2 - Acceptable)
 – Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (3 - Good)
 – Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (4 - Excellent)
 An ESPD submission shall be marked as FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved for any statement is less than 2. Where a response is 2 or greater it shall be weighted in accordance with the following weightings: Statement (c) = 30%; Statement (d) = 30%; Statement (e) = 25%; Statement (f) = 15%. The weighted scores shall be aggregated to calculate a score out of 100 for the 4 statements.
 Words in excess of the maximum word limit for each statement will neither be considered nor scored.

 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 Minimum level(s) of standards required:
 Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below:
 Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B6)
 The following nine evaluation criteria shall be scored, for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years:
 1. Acid Test Ratio
 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio
 3. Return on Capital Employed
 4. Operating Profit Ratio
 5. Net Worth
 6. Gearing
 7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover
 8. Filed Accounts
 9. Audit Report
 The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). For the purpose of calculating the Annual Contract Value to Turnover ratio the estimated value in II.2.6 of this Contract Notice shall be adopted. Similarly, the duration of the framework agreement shall be 4 years. This equates to an estimated value of 416.7k GBP for Lot 1, 62.5k GBP for Lot 2 and 1.75M GBP per annum per economic operator.
 The nine evaluation criteria will be individually scored and given a total aggregated score, out of a possible 50 marks, for each year of trading. Subsequently, each year’s score will be weighted, with the most recent (“Year 1”) weighted at 2/3rds and the previous (“Year 2”) weighted at 1/3rd, and then aggregated to form an overall score for the two years out of 50 marks.
 If the economic operator is trading for less than 2 years, their financial ratios for the most recent full year of trading will be weighted at 2/3rds scored out of the total 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 1 year the information provided under III.1.2 b), will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the a full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by an economic operator (either a single economic operator or a group of economic operators) is less than 25 marks, out of the potential total aggregated score of 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the economic operator is unable to provide appropriate information to enable the calculation of the financial ratios.
 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.
 A “group of economic operators” is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture.
 Insurance (Question Ref. 4B5) In response to Question Ref. 4B5 a, b and c economic operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the framework agreement, the following levels of insurance: Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = Lots 1 and 2 are 5M(million) GBP Lot 3 is 10M GBP, Public Liability Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 and 3 are 5M GBP and Professional Indemnity Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 is 1M and Lot 3 is 5M (GBP).
 Such insurances shall provide cover to a value of at least the value stated in respect of each and every claim in the period of the insurance, but shall be limited to the value stated in the aggregate in the period of insurance.
 In responding to Question Ref 4B.5 a, b and c, where the economic operator responds “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” they shall be marked as FAIL and shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

description:
Additional Information for III.1.2) - part A
 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 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 ESPD, Question Ref 4B1a provide the specified annual turnover 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 ESPD Question Ref 4B6 provide the name, range and score of nine financial criteria for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and
 c) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B5a, b and c confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance.
 In addition to the information requested under (a) to (c), economic operators must provide a link/ copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company). For the avoidance of doubt, if an economic operator fails to provide accounts relating to its last two full years of trading that are due to have been filed, that economic operator shall be excluded from this procurement competition.
 Where economic operators have not yet been trading for a full two year period, such that filed accounts are not yet due and available, and limited only to that circumstance, the required information to support (a) to (c) above may take the form of appropriate third party / statements setting out turnover, profit and loss, cashflow (current and forecast) and the economic operator’s credit facility position. Note there will, however, be a negative scoring implication, as noted below and in the Additional Documents.
 This above information is requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought.

procurementMethod: limited

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

procurementMethodRationale: The new contract is a continuation of the existing service to safeguard the extended warranty for key CCTV components afforded exclusively by the current contractor and the efficiency of the present level of M&R support provided. These services were originally tendered competitively and the contract award allowed for a 3-year extension, however, no allowance was made in the original tender for an extension period. A change of contractor at this stage would cause significant duplication of costs as much of the service provision will be covered under warranty and a probable reduction in effective and timely M&R support of this critical harbour system while a new contractor becomes familiar with the logistical challenges of attending often remote island locations and develops knowledge of the system architecture. This knowledge development process would be exacerbated by any extension or reimposition of the current Covid-19 restrictions.
