 In August 2023, SMRU will require to carry out harbour seal surveys in western Scotland, between Loch Hourn and the English border in the Solway Firth. Surveys will be carried out in August, during the harbour seals’ annual moult, and should require approximately 40-45 hours flying time, including transits. Surveys are weather dependent; we cannot survey in moderate or heavy rain as seals are more likely to leave their haul-out sites in very wet conditions. Approximately 30-35 hours of flying are currently planned for August 2024.
 SMRU have developed a technique for surveying harbour seals inhabiting rocky coastlines using a thermal imaging camera in a helicopter. The survey equipment that will be used on/in the aircraft as described in the full Specification.

Warmworks is delighted to confirm that we have been successful in our bid to manage the next iteration of Warmer Homes Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government. The new scheme aims to build on the successful track record of the first iteration since 2015, with its goals of providing whole house retrofit solutions to homes that are in or at risk of fuel poverty; meeting the Scottish Government’s ambitions for supporting homes across the country to stay affordably warm, whilst supporting the decarbonisation agenda.
 The scheme will launch in October 2023 and will last for a minimum term of five years, with a potential two-year extension to 2030.
 The Scottish Government has published a potential total contract value of up to 728millon GBP.
 Warmworks will be conducting a procurement exercise to secure a framework of domestic sub-contractors of energy efficiency measures across Scotland to support the delivery of this new scheme.
 The scheme will adopt a fabric-first approach to ensure the maximum benefit of heating measures and renewable measures installed in the homes of households who are identified as being in or at risk of fuel poverty. Warmworks will put a supply chain in place to deliver insulation, heating, and renewable energy measures with an emphasis on recruiting local installers and adding value to local communities through job creation and a substantial investment in skills, training and apprenticeships.
 The scheme is aligned with PAS2035 requirements, meaning all prospective installers need to be Trustmark registered and PAS2030 (2019) accredited for each measure they propose to install. Companies will be provided with a detailed specification that sets out the scheme’s requirements in respect of the customer journey, the installation process and the required suite of quality and compliance documentation.
 The tender opportunity will launch in early July 2023 and will be available on the PCS platform. Contract award and onboarding are currently planned for early September, in preparation for works commencing in early October.

description: On going National Framework will be reviewed for renewal in 4 years

description:
The Authority, on behalf of Scottish Ministers are establishing a multi-supplier national framework agreement for the provision of Cloud Services. The key aims of the framework are to deliver efficient access to Cloud Services to the Scottish public sector offering value for money, in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly way. The full scope of services will include, but not be limited to, the current services being offered to the Scottish public sector:
 - Platform as a Service (PaaS) & Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
 - Cloud hosting services such as public/private/hybrid cloud
 - Traditional co-location and hosting
 - Transition services
 Where Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Services (PaaS) are likely to be considered key requirements of any future Cloud Services arrangement, it is likely that Software as a Service (SaaS) would be out of scope, being delivered by other arrangements.

title: Cloud and Hosting Services Framework

description:
The Scottish Ministers through the National Collaborative Procurement Division of the Scottish Government are seeking to establish a multiple supplier framework for Cloud and Hosting Services for the Scottish Public Sector and Third Sector organisations.

 d) Hybrid Cloud
 e) Co-location
 f) Cloud Transition Services
 A maximum of 8 suppliers will be admitted to the Framework.

title: Cloud and Hosting Services Framework

type: suitability

minimum:
The Authority, on 1st August 2023 will undertake a Company Financial Assessment for each Tenderer using Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Failure Risk Score for the Tenderer and any consortia or reliance members. 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 Tenderers economic and financial standing. The Authority has the right to request copies of financial accounts and insurance certificates which are not held electronically.
 If the D&B Failure Risk Score is 50 or more, on 1st August 2023, you will receive a pass for this assessment. If the D&B Failure Risk Score is less than 50 or no D&B Risk Failure score is available the Authority will contact the Tenderer and seek further information.
 The Authority will then use this further information to assess the Tenderer’s level of failure risk. In the event that the Tenderer does not meet the financial criteria above and/or the level of failure risk after assessment of further information is considered to be too high, they may still be considered via some form of other assurance e.g. Parent Company Guarantee (providing parent has a failure risk score of 50 or more) or a performance bond. If this assessment identifies an unmanageable risk (i.e. it is unacceptable) the Tenderer will fail this assessment.
 SPD Statements 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2: It is a requirement that tenderers hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract the types of insurance indicated below:
 Public Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and;
 Professional Indemnity Insurance in the sum of not less than 1,000,000 GBP, or such greater/other sum as may be agreed with the Framework Public Body; and;
 Employer’s Liability Insurance in the sum of not less than 5,000,000 GBP or in accordance with any legal obligation for the time being in force.

minimum:
SPD Statement 4D.1: Tenderers will be required, by the framework commencement date, to have an effective Information Security Management certification in place in place; this may be demonstrated by accreditation to an applicable standard such as ISO 27001:2022, or equivalent, or by submitting a copy of their own equivalent Quality Management System.
 Also Tenderers will be required to hold and maintain by the framework commencement date, Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation.

Award against framework: Framework Agreement for Interim IT Staff Services - National
 (SC Ref:735612)


status: planned

description:
The Scottish Government intends to procure a contract for a single managing agent to deliver a new national scheme (“the scheme”) as part
 of its' Heat in Buildings Programme, which will cover the whole of Scotland. The scheme is due to go live in October 2023 and will be centered around the installation of insulation, heating and micro-generation measures and is targeted at those who are in or at risk of fuel
 poverty. This is a re-procurement of the Warmer Homes Scotland (WHS) contract which will expire on 29 September 2023.
 The current WHS service is supported by a Quality Assurance and Audit (QAA) contract and the Scottish Government intends to procure a
 new QAA contract to support delivery of the Heat in Buildings Programme new national scheme.
 The purpose of the associated QAA service is to give the Scottish Government confidence that the services provided and the installation of
 measures undertaken under the new national scheme are compliant in terms of both the national scheme contract and the prevailing legal
 and retrofit industry standards including PAS 2030/2035 and MCS. The successful QAA agent will be required to carry out various
 different types of on site and desk based inspections, audits and reports. These may include but not be limited to on site Pre-Installation,
 Post-Installation, Work in Progress inspections as well as desk based audits relating to delivery of the customer journey and analysis of
 financial information provided by the service provider, including invoices and pricing review evidence. We expect this scheme to go-live in December 2023.

The Council will use Dun and Bradstreet (D&B) to assist in its determination of the organisations financial status and risk. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting their Tender Submission.

The Council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.

CivTech’s mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people’s lives better – and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses.
 CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen.
 Part of the Scottish Government’s Digital Directorate, CivTech’s approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better.
 Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in.
 The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you – whether you’re an individual, team or company – it’s an opportunity to take on a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You’ll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here’s the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren’t ‘single organisation’ problems – most exist worldwide.
 In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they’re developed further [for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator – a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech’s unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world.

title: CivTech 9.5 - How can we use technology to create the most efficient and secure supply chain for public sector procurements?

description:
How can we use technology to create the most efficient and secure supply chain
 for public sector procurements, especially in regard to making the requirements,
 standards and rules of public sector procurement as efficient to establish as
 possible, both for the private sector businesses applying for contracts, and the
 organisation assessing those applications; focusing on two initial use cases - cyber
 security, design and accessibility.
 Supply chains, integral to all organizations, pose a significant risk due to their size,
 complexity, and the potential of severely disrupted services if compromised.
 Currently, securing supply chains is resource-intensive and often requires manual
 efforts from specialist staff which can cause issues - particularly for SMEs.
 If we can build a single, effective and efficient system, we could dispense with the
 current practice of creating single-use questionnaires for each and every
 procurement exercise. This would have significant benefits including resource and
 time savings, for both procuring and tendering organisations.
 Currently, we do not have this: existing tools provide some data analysis, but
 further solutions could enhance this process.
 While cyber security and accessibility have been noted as the initial use cases, the
 intention is that a successful solution would incorporate all procurement
 requirements – for example accessibility, usability and design standards.
