name: South East of Scotland Transport Partnership (SEStran)

description:
The existing SEStran and Tactran pilots provided journey planning tools that enabled the planning, booking and paying for a variety of transport services. These tools were ‘powered’ by a shared MaaS platform initially provided by Fuse Mobility, which novated its contract to Ember Technology on 19 February 2024.
 SEStran and Tactran have secured additional funding to extend the present contract for a further short 3 month extension to 31 December 2024 at which point Transport Scotland should be in a position to make any decisions on the direction of a national MaaS platform, and whether this could be publicly funded.
 Ending the pilot projects before a way forward has been determined for the long term could:
 § Seriously limit the opportunities to take forward the MaaS aspirations. If current MaaS projects stop, there will be a loss of confidence by the public, operators, and partner public sector services.
 Conversely, there could also be a lost opportunity to digitally promote new transport initiatives (such as DRT, Mobility Hubs, bike hire schemes and Community Transport etc) via MaaS platforms;
 § Represent a significant loss of investment by all partners in getting this new and exciting technology established; and
 § Whilst MaaS is a growth sector, there are limited MaaS suppliers in Scotland. The lack of a continuous plan for establishing and expanding MaaS will seriously affect the confidence of suppliers to invest in the programme in Scotland. It will also present a reputational risk to those public sector partners involved.
 IMPS aims to share the learnings from the Transport Scotland MIF projects, help public sector organisations understand how MaaS could help them to achieve their sustainable objectives, and to help MaaS services grow, learn and develop. We will do this by having open access to an IMPS website, offer advice on design and implementation of a MaaS app, offer the use of the existing apps, and also offer a new ‘grey label’ app via a financial contribution from the third party.
 Tactran and Sestran propose to maintain the platform and existing interfaces and continue to make this available to the public until a time when Transport Scotland are able to consider and confirm funding for a new MaaS platform project with the intention that the contract for that project will be fully advertised in a public procurement procedure.

description:
The main aims of IMPS are:
 · Make it easier for every resident & visitor to the SEStran and Tactran regions to make the most of the
 Transport ecosystem.
 · To secure a model for long term financial sustainability by 30 September 2024.
 · Support Scotland Objectives (MIF objectives but also wider national objectives)
 · Make it easier for new transport modes to connect in to the transport ecosystem.
 The next phase of the MaaS platform will be made available to potential other public sector partners to allow them to commission further integrations/improvements to the existing apps powered by the platform or develop new ‘grey label’ apps from the same platform – the Integrated Mobility Platform Scotland concept.

SRT intends to modify the TSA to extend the end date to 31 March 2032 and make incidental changes as necessary to effect the extended end date and reflect the updated regulatory landscape.
 Viewed in the context of the TSA the modification is not considered to be substantial within the meaning of Regulation 86(1)(e) of the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (UCSR).
 In any event, the modification is permitted by Regulation 86(1)(b) UCSR because a change of maintainer could not be made for economic or technical reasons and would cause significant inconvenience and/or substantial duplication of costs for ScotRail. Hitachi is the only maintainer with the necessary depot facilities, technical systems and capacity to provide the Services when the TSA terminates on 31 March 2025.
 Hitachi has exclusive rights to perform light maintenance services at the relevant depot (Craigentinny Depot, Edinburgh) pursuant to Section 8 of the Railways Act 1993, and ScotRail considers that the light and heavy maintenance services are not separable. ScotRail considers that the extension is the optimum period needed to allow it to continue to provide vital rail services.. The figures provided in this notice are indicative estimates only. The relevant rates and prices within the TSA have been increased in line with indexation and also to reflect agreed overhauls / significant maintenance activities that the parties are aware will need to take place during the amended contract term. Additionally it does not cover any performance related or out of scope charges.

description:
This notice concerns the award of a Train Services Agreement (TSA) by Abellio ScotRail Limited (Abellio) to Hitachi Rail (Hitachi) for both light and heavy maintenance services for 234 Class 385 Vehicles (Trains) operated by Abellio.
 Abellio was not required to (and did not) undertake a regulated procurement in relation to the award of the TSA.
 The TSA commenced on 3 March 2015, and was transferred to ScotRail Trains Limited (ScotRail) pursuant to a transfer scheme made by the Scottish Ministers under the Railways Act 1995 on 7 February 2022. The Trains are part of the train fleet used by ScotRail to discharge its obligations in relation to the provision of services for the carriage of passengers by railway under the grant agreement entered into by the Scottish Ministers, Scottish Rail Holdings Limited and ScotRail in June 2022 (the Grant Agreement).
 The TSA will terminate on 31 March 2025 and SRT intends to extend the TSA to 31 March 2032 (as detailed in this notice) in order to procure the continued light and heavy maintenance of the Trains, Spares and Special Tools (the Services) required to allow it to continue to use the Trains as part of the train fleet required to allow ScotRail to discharge its obligations under the Grant Agreement.

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) requires a Service Provider to deliver high level building fabric maintenance services.
 This involves Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM), reactive, minor and project change works activities to be undertaken on the high level internal and external building fabric at the Scottish Parliament Building, Holyrood, Edinburgh.
 The service will also include hard and soft landscaping maintenance and bird pest control.
 Due to the design and complexity of the building, much of the fabric maintenance is only accessible via rope access.
 It is considered the highest risk work activity that is undertaken on-site at the Parliament. The SPCB therefore require a specialist Service Provider, with a team based on-site at Holyrood who report directly to the SPCB Facilities Management Team.
 The Service Provider must hold full Industrial Rope Access Trade Association (IRATA) Operator membership and maintain this for the duration of the Contract.

The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. We highly recommend that tenderers review their financial performance on Creditsafe to understand their credit score rating which will be used by the SPCB to evaluate the financial standing of the tenderer and that they read the information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender.
 Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at https://www.creditsafe.com/gb/en.html
 The SPCB requires tenderers to have a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 on Creditsafe and has the backing of a parent company with a credit risk score of 40 or higher, then the provision of a parent company guarantee will be required prior to the award of any contract. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 and cannot provide a parent company guarantee, they must submit evidence to support a stable and improved financial standing with their tender or the tender may be rejected. If no evidence is provided with the tender or the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate a satisfactory financial position to the satisfaction of the SPCB (whose decision in this regard shall be final), then the tender will be rejected and will not be evaluated further.
 If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it will be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out. If the information provided does not, in the SPCB’s opinion, demonstrate a satisfactory financial position, the bid may be rejected.

 Where the economic operator relies upon the capacity of other parties in respect of selection and/or performance of the contract, then dependent on the nature of the arrangement the Council may require full disclosure of financial information in support of the bid. For example, where the bidder identifies as a consortium the Council will require that the consortium, as a group, can meet the financial selection requirements contained in the procurement documents.

We highly recommend that tenderers review their financial performance on Creditsafe to understand their credit score rating which will be used by the SPCB to evaluate the financial standing of the tenderer and that they read the information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender.
 Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at https://www.creditsafe.com/gb/en.html
 The SPCB requires tenderers to have a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 on Creditsafe and has the backing of a parent company with a credit risk score of 40 or higher, then the provision of a parent company guarantee will be required prior to the award of any contract. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 and cannot provide a parent company guarantee, they must submit evidence to support a stable and improved financial standing with their tender or the tender may be rejected. If no evidence is provided with the tender or the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate a satisfactory financial position to the satisfaction of the SPCB (whose decision in this regard shall be final), then the tender will be rejected and will not be evaluated further.
 If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it will be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out. If the information provided does not, in the SPCB’s opinion, demonstrate a satisfactory financial position, the bid may be rejected.

The University of Dundee School of Medicine require a spatial biology platform to embed this cutting-edge technology to map the spatial architecture of cells and phenotypic profiles within tissue samples. This new technology for the University will enable deep characterisation of tissues to identify which cells are present, where they are located in tissue, their biomarker co-expression patterns, and how they organize and interact to influence the tissue microenvironment.
 The multiplex platform will be embedded within the University’s Tayside Biorepository and be provided as a university wide translational science core facility service. The equipment will be used by over 20 research groups across the Schools of Medicine and Life Sciences in a broad reach of research programs, including translational research, molecular and cellular medicine, cancer research, neuroscience and infection and immunity. This will provide a significant opportunity to characterise disease progression and responses to therapy within translational research and clinical trials to support patient stratification and biomarker and drug development.

ETZ Ltd require a contractor to conduct Front End Engineering Design for Green Hydrogen Test and Demonstration Facilities which will be built within the Energy Transition Zone, Aberdeen.
 The Energy Transition Zone is a 250-hectare area of greenfield and brownfield sites for new business investment opportunities in energy transition-related projects. The Energy Transition Zone will enable land for new investment into energy-related activities. It will become a hub of innovation to support the delivery of floating offshore wind and green hydrogen.
 The Energy Transition Zone is being master planned using a campus model approach to encourage clusters of specialised activity and like-minded companies to come together. The campuses include a Marine Gateway, an Offshore Wind Campus, an Innovation Campus, a Skills Campus and a Hydrogen Campus.
 The Hydrogen Campus is a 15-hectare area of both brown field and green field land which aims to attract companies specialising in hydrogen technologies to develop in the area, further strengthening Aberdeen’s reputation as a “centre of excellence for hydrogen”.
 The flagship project within the Hydrogen Campus will be Green Hydrogen Test & Demonstration Facilities (GHTDF) which aims to provide hydrogen specific testing facilities for industry, built in a phased approach, with a focus on the emerging hydrogen production market. The GHTDF will be supplied with locally produced green hydrogen, which will be available to customers “on demand”.
 ETZ Ltd has been developing this project concept since 2021 and has engaged both technical and safety consultants to help define the proposed use cases as well as undertake Pre-FEED. The successful FEED contractor will be required to engage with ETZ Ltd.'s technical and safety consultants as well as our operating partner and the FEED scope of work, which will be issued in January 25, will reflect this.
 ETZ Ltd has also conducted extensive market research to better understand the hydrogen market and industry’s testing requirements. As such, the concept for the GHTDF is one where the facilities grow organically over time, reacting to new technology requirements as they emerge. This has resulted in a three phased development approach to maintain flexibility and the ability to react to market demand. The phases of the GHTDF are likely to be as follows:
 Phase 1 - Base testing facilities (outdoor testing only)
 Phase 2 – Expanded testing facilities (outdoor and indoor testing)
 Phase 3 – Future expansion for specialised testing facilities (more bespoke testing requirements based on specific client need)
 It is anticipated that Phase 1 would allow testing in the following areas:
 Electrolyser performance testing
 Testing of demonstrators & system integration
 Valve testing (control, shutdown, relief etc)
 Flow meter calibration and testing
 Fuel cell and hydrogen quality testing
 This FEED study will focus on Phase 1 only with design consideration given to future proofing the site and Phase 2 & Phase 3 expansion requirements. It is anticipated that Phase 1 of the facility will be operational in late 2026 and that FEED will be concluded mid 2025.
 ETZ Ltd has commenced this procurement process in good faith and with the intention of publishing an Invitation to Tender (ITT) in January 2025. Tender responses will then be evaluated by ETZ Ltd in accordance with the ITT.
