title: Specialist Peatland Restoration

description:
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) looks after the national forests and land to enhance biodiversity, support tourism and increase access to the green spaces that will help improve Scotland’s physical and mental health and well-being. FLS also continues to provide vital timber supplies to support a sustainable rural economy. Further information on who FLS are and what it does can be found here https://forestryandland.gov.scot/https://forestryandland.gov.scot/
 There are extensive areas of deep peat on Scotland’s Forests & Land, including many which are afforested. FLS has committed to manage all peatlands on Scotland’s forests and land in a sustainable manner, maximising the delivery of ecosystem services for the benefit of Scotland’s people and environment.
 The aim of this contract is to provide specialist peatland restoration services to deliver our programme of restoration of degraded peatlands in line with targets agreed with Scottish Government as part of the wider Peatland Action delivery programme. These services are split into two distinct types of operation. Part A: Lots 1-11 Site Rewetting, and Part B: Lots 12-14 Specialised Peatland Harvesting
 By 2027 onwards we expect to be restoring at least 3,000 hectares annually, thereby reducing carbon emissions, capturing additional carbon and restoring valuable priority habitats that support priority species in the process. Alongside this is our duty to help deliver Scottish Government’s policy in relation to the Climate Emergency, and to do our part in delivering ecosystem services spanning environmental, social, and economical benefits.
 The contract term is a maximum of five (5) years (three (3) initial years plus one optional extension of 24 months).

title: Specialist Peatland Restoration

description:
There are extensive areas of deep peat on Scotland's Forests and Land, including many which are afforested.
 Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) are currently exploring all potential options and opportunities for procuring services to deliver specialist peatland restoration operations over the next 4 years and our intention is to commence a tender exercise, which is likely to result in a series of contract awards. It is anticipated that the new tender will be published later in the year of 2022 with contracts awarded around April 2023.
 In order to best inform the FLS approach to the future procurement of these services, it is essential that FLS understand the size, scope, capacity and future aspirations of the marketplace. FLS are therefore looking to both existing and potential suppliers to provide valuable insight into the services you can offer, your capacity, preferred work locations, preferred pricing mechanisms and more.
 The information you can provide is vital to our considerations as to how FLS move forward in delivering these requirements and develop a strategic approach to delivery of these services.
 PLEASE NOTE: This PIN is for information gathering purposes only and is NOT a call for competition. A response to this PIN shall not constitute any form of contract.
 There is no requirement to have read or replied to this notice and the attached questionnaire, suppliers will be entitled to submit their tender without any disadvantage.

 25-Poor-Response is partially relevant and poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled.
 50-Acceptable-Response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas.
 75-Good-Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled.
 100-Excellent-Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full.
 Any Bidder that receives a score of zero for one or more Technical criteria will be excluded from the tender.
 Any bidder that receives a total Technical score below 50% out of 100% will be excluded from the tender.
 Tenderers should note that although the value of the Contract has been estimated at 66,334,775.00 GBP excluding VAT over the maximum five year contract period, the Authority reserves the right to modify the Contract – irrespective of the monetary value of modifications – within the scope permitted under Regulation 72 (1) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, should operational reasons require it.

 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason:
 It will be encouraged for prime contractors to advertise sub-contracting opportunities via PCS, however it will not be mandated as use of PCS to advertise sub-contracting opportunities is not intended to cut across supply chain arrangements that the prime contractor may already have in place. The PIN responses and sub-contracting pattern have evidenced an established sub-contracting network. Whilst it does represent best practice, use of PCS in this instance is unlikely to add any additional value and may delay mobilisation.
 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/
 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:
 The exponential growth in delivery of peatland restoration required to meet the target of 250,000ha restored by 2030 means that there is an urgent need to address the skills shortages and workforce capacity issues in the peatland restoration sector.
 Community Benefits are a mandatory requirement of this contract. The Purchaser will be looking for Service Provider to deliver community benefits in building workforce capacity. The list of community benefits that are particularly relevant and proportionate to this contract are detailed within the Evaluation and Award Criteria document, attached on PCS-Tender

reviewDetails: Glasgow City Council (“the Council”) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates concerned of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations.

Lot 2 is for the formation of Town or Community Investment Plan to support the delivery of the objectives outlined within the Local Place Plans. This will include economic strategy and business planning to drive investment into community proposed projects and initiatives.
 Town Investment Plan (TIP) is a term that has appeared against a number of recent funds as the blanket term for the socio-economic strategy for investment within the community it references. Like much of Place Making terminology, it considers a community as a town, and given the rural nature of Scottish Borders, we are reframing this as a Town or Community Investment Plan to recognise the diversity of our community groups and the opportunity for plans to be developed by clusters of smaller settlements when this makes economic sense, or is the will of the community.
 The intention for the purposes of this framework is that TIP or Community Investment Plans (CIP) follow the development of a Local Place Plan (through means of Lot 1, or by other arrangements).
 The TIP / CIP is a working document which moves the community’s aspirations, ideas and objectives into a light touch business case, aligned to the Treasury Green Book five case model.. Scotland Excel is acting on behalf of Dumfries & Galloway Council in the execution of this tender but will not be party to the contract or the management of the contract throughout its lifetime.
 Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

title: Local Place Plan Consultant

description:
Lot 1 is for the provision of community facilitation for collaboration between community groups to form a steering group to develop a Local Place Plan. This will encompass the ideas and aspirations of the contributors and will be a foundational document for change within the commissioning community. This will include provision for engagement with the Local Authority planning department on proposals being adopted in to planning legislation.
 The development of the Local Place Plan itself seeks to create a scaffold around which the ambitions of a community can be formed into a holistic plan that takes into account past and present work streams, and builds on the local skills, aspirations and lived experience of residents to enact change.
 The role of the Consultant is to encourage the community to take ownership, and develop their own plan, bringing in voices from all demographics, and use the lived experience of residents as the foundations for all engagement and presentation of information.
 The development of a Local Place Plan will require support from a multi skilled Consultant to provide structure and expertise at various stages of a plan’s development. Consultants may be commissioned to support the coproduction of a community plan for all, or some of the stages.. Scotland Excel is acting on behalf of Dumfries & Galloway Council in the execution of this tender but will not be party to the contract or the management of the contract throughout its lifetime.

North Ayrshire Council have an enabling works requirement that involves the preparation of the Ardrossan North Shore brownfield site for subsequent development and regeneration. This contract will prepare the site for the Education Campus and other subsequent developments.
 The enabling infrastructure works will include land remediation, coastal revetment, coastal footpath, spine road, drainage and utilities in advance of Educational Campus, Commercial Campus and residential plots which form part of the site masterplan. Marina extension works comprising offshore breakwaters and dredging may also be added to the scope.
 These works may be tendered as a whole package or broken down into the three work packages as described in the accompanying documents with further potential to divide the works across the two areas described and marked Education Campus and Marina Campus.

It is anticipated that this market engagement exercise with contractors and development of a fresh contract strategy will allow a clearer decision to be made on the works packages and an assessment of related opportunities and risks.
 Works are currently estimated to commence in June 2023 with completion in April 2024. However this has to be confirmed and could be subject to change.
 The form of contract is likely to be New Engineering Contract (NEC) – NEC4 ECC Option A.
