Under a mini-competition from the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework an Invitation to Tender was issued via Public Contracts Scotland-Tender (PCS-T) on the 26th of January 2024 to the framework participants who confirmed interest in a capability and capacity enquiry issued by SXL on behalf of the Council.
 For the purposes of evaluation bidders were asked to submit costs based on External Fabric Works at Camelon Crescent along with additional bills. Thereafter the Council will issue details of each further call-off contract to the successful Contractor for pricing based on the tender rates and preliminary costs submitted as part of this tender process.
 The terms and conditions will be the SBCC Standard Building Contract with Quantities for use in Scotland (SBC/Q/Scot), 2016 Edition, incorporating Amendment 1, February 2018.

title: Mini Competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework - External Wall Installations Fabric Works

description:
The Council's Housing and Technical Resources, Consultancy Services, identified a requirement to appoint to suitable contractor to undertake the Housing and Technical Resources External Wall Installations ("EWI") Fabric Works Programme as the Council aims to efficiently carry out fabric works while ensuring cost-effectiveness, high-quality deliverables, and timely project completion.
 To address these objectives and align with the Council's EWI Fabric Works Programme, it was recommended to transition from the traditional project-by-project approach to a single-source contractor on a term contract basis. This strategic shift will present numerous advantages, enabling the Council to optimise resources, streamline processes, and enhance overall project performance.
 The primary objective of the proposed contract is to establish a long-term partnership with a single contractor who will be responsible for delivering EWI Works over the specified period. This contractual arrangement promotes continuity, fosters a deeper understanding of the Council's requirements, and encourages collaborative working relationships. By nurturing this partnership, the Council aims to improve work quality, ensure greater adherence to project objectives, and facilitate efficient project management.
 Cost management is a key objective of this contract, it is essential that cost management measures are effectively implemented into the contract and managed efficiently throughout the duration of the contract period.
 The Council undertook an options appraisal looking at various national framework - PfH, SPA and Scotland Excel. After carefully reviewing the available procurement options, initiating a mini competition under Lot 2 of the Scotland Excel (SXL) Energy Efficiency Contractors Framework Agreement has been deemed the best and most effective route to market.

Scottish Enterprise are seeking to appoint a Programme Development partner that will provide insights and input into the creation of a high-level Programme to deliver in March 2025 as a Forum to discuss Scotland’s offshore wind opportunities, including reviewing an audience list and adding insights to those who are to be invited.
 Scotland’s Offshore Wind proposition has the potential to bring transformational changes to Scottish companies, the economy, private investors and communities. This opportunity has arisen due to the progress and development of ScotWind and INTOG (Innovation & Targeted Oil & Gas) projects, which has also created a pipeline of related Tier 1 supply chain opportunities and projects, which collectively provide Scottish capital investment opportunities of global significance.
 Scotland’s natural resources, skilled offshore workforce, excellent port structure and strong innovation hub, make Scotland one of the best places in the world to develop offshore wind and its supply chain. ScotWind is the world’s largest commercial round for floating offshore wind and puts Scotland at the forefront of offshore wind development globally. The INTOG leasing round is a ‘first of its kind’ with 13 successful applicants and is the next step in realising another world leading opportunity for Scotland’s energy transition. Expansion of our offshore wind generation capabilities in the coming years provides a fantastic opportunity to support a fair and just transition for the energy sector and wider industry.
 To raise the profile of these opportunities, this Forum will target high calibre investors in the offshore wind sector, to give them direct access to key decision makers within the Scottish ecosystem, provide early sight of these opportunities and to promote debate that will accelerate the flow of private investment.
