description:
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.
 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.

 ScotRail will also require guidance on procurement regulations at each stage of the procurement activity (PQQ/SPD, ITT, BAFO etc) to ensure compliance with the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016.
 SRT is acting to deliver the procurement on behalf of Scottish Rail Holdings (SRH) who are a public sector company, owned and controlled by the Scottish Government. SRH report to Transport Scotland (TS) who are the national transport agency for Scotland, responsible for delivering the Scottish Government's vision for transport. As such it will be a requirement of the contract that all entities within the Scottish Rail Holdings Group have access to these services.

title: Framework for the provision of legal services in support of ScotRail’s New Trains Procurement Programme

description:
ScotRail Trains (SRT) plans to replace 65% of its train fleet (around 675 carriages) in the period 2027 to 2035. Nine of the eleven sub fleets of trains currently operated will be replaced as leases expire and it becomes uneconomical to life extend trains for continued operation. As part of this programme SRT will decarbonise our entire train fleet helping Scottish Government deliver a key milestone in transitioning Scotland to a net zero economy. All existing diesel trains will be withdrawn and replaced with new trains powered by overhead electric wires, batteries or hydrogen. As well as eliminating carbon emissions from passenger rail services in Scotland, this will transform our customer offer improving journey comfort, accessibility and reliability. We will reduce operating costs and improve the consistency of offer to customers by consolidating the number of different sub fleets we operate from the existing eleven to, ideally, five.
 This transformation will be delivered through three procurement competitions:
 -	Phase 1	2022-23 - we will procure a new fleet of suburban trains which will enter passenger service between 2027 and 2030. These trains will connect local communities with Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen.
 -	Phase 2 	2024-25 (indicative) we will procure a new fleet of trains for our rural routes.
 -	Phase 3 2025-26 (indicative) we will procure a new fleet of intercity trains to connect the central belt with Aberdeen and Inverness.
 SRT require legal advice services to support us in running efficient and compliant procurement competitions which deliver trains which meet our customer, technical and operational requirements whilst providing value for money for the taxpayer. Value for money extends beyond the capital and operating cost of the new trains to include the economic and societal benefits which can be delivered for local communities and businesses through such significant investment from Scottish Government. Ensuring the new trains are constructed in a manner which minimises the impact on the environment will also be a key factor in delivering a successful sustainable procurement.
 The first phase of the new trains programme will be to procure a new fleet of suburban electric and battery electric multiple units (EMU and BEMU). Including options, the suburban procurement is envisaged to cover around 120 units comprising around 550 vehicles. We envisage the minimum core order being 64 units and 295 vehicles.
 The scope of the procurement will also include Maintenance services – tenderers will be required to submit options for both a Technical Services Agreement and Technical Support and Spares Supply Agreement and a decision on the route which provides best overall value for money will be taken prior to contract award.
 Upgrades will be required to maintenance depot and servicing and stabling facilities. These are likely to be delivered by our partners in Network Rail, but we will investigate during the procurement if there is benefit in works being delivered by the train Manufacturer and Maintainer.
 A separate procurement is anticipated be held in parallel with that of the trains to identify a suitable financier.
 Following contract awards on the suburban trains procurement, it is envisaged that the team will move onto developing and delivering procurements for the rural and intercity fleets.
 The legal advisors will be required to provide ad hoc contract management and legal support to the SRT project team managing the design, manufacture, testing, commissioning and approvals process of the new trains contracts.
 SRT is acting to deliver the procurement on behalf of Scottish Rail Holdings (SRH) who are a public sector company, owned and controlled by the Scottish Government. SRH report to Transport Scotland (TS) who are the national transport agency for Scotland, responsible for delivering the Scottish Government's vision for transport.

AEC as the CPB placed a contract notice 2019/S 218-535393 on 08/11/2019 (the "OJEU Notice") in the Official Journal of the European Union seeking tenders from potential vendors of Neutral Vendor/Managed Service Provision for the Supply of Multi Specialism Services interested in entering into a framework arrangement for the supply of such Services to itself as a Contracting CPB and other CA’s, which was subsequently awarded and as such this framework is not intended to compete with current framework reference 002/1019/OET, but to run in parallel with it until it naturally expires or the CPB and/or the FCPSP third party terminates it accordingly;
 For continuity of existing call-offs and for ease for central record purposes - all framework partners (suppliers) appointed to framework ref 002/1019/OET and all call-off obligations and framework partners, CAs and private sector entities including utilities, health, defence, housing, education, social care, charities, VCSE and any private or public organisations can be be automatically migrated to include the use of 077/1122/OET.
 This new framework (reference 077/1122/OET, aka the “Omni CPV NVMSP Framework”) whilst it will largely operate as per the existing framework as described above, will ultimately replace 002/1019OET,) and endeavour to enhance and improve the aforementioned 002/1019OET and allow the CA's and private sector entities within the UK already using it to continue to do so, but also allow and encourage the Charity, Public Sector Mutuals and Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sectors to utilise the framework too, and CA’s and private sector entities across all areas of public sector requirements including Schools, Academies, Further Education, Defence, Utilities, Concession, Health and Social Care whom may not have used such a framework before.
 Private sector entities including utilities, defence, health, housing and other economic operators in addition to the public sector entities who use the framework, may continue to use the benefits of it if they wish providing such requirements are done under the operational and contractual arrangements of the framework. As new framework suppliers can join at any time during the course of this contract, then this framework can operate in the same way as a dynamic purchasing system without call-off term restrictions.
 Neutral Vendor/Managed Service Provider aka FMPSP
 The awarded FMPSP is permitted to operate the framework/dps as is best suited and preferred by the Contracting Authorities and private sector entities/economic operators (clients) calling off from the framework via direct or further competition as directed providing such call offs are compliant with the public sector procurement regulations as listed above. The awarded FMPSP is permitted to supply ancillary procurement and related services in addition to the framework. FMPSP is permitted by means of a “central contractor” basis in the execution of the framework requirements and central contractor provision.
 All major CPV codes as listed in II.2.11 in this Notice (and their minor CPV codes to be read as included too but not listed due to space,) are to be utilised accordingly for the operational use and call off purposes of the framework.. Framework available to public & private entities abiding by or not, re the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016, Concession Contracts Regulations 2016, Defence & Security Public Contracts Regulations (DSPCR) 2011, Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 & any related & subsequent amendments by future UK public sector procurement legislation.
