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 Development 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.
 CivTech Sprints: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage to be held between Monday 14th February – Friday 25th February 2022 where they’re developed further. The best go through to the MVP Development Stage, to be held between Monday 14th March 2022 – Friday 3rd June 2022 where you will have 12 weeks to work collaboratively with your Challenge Sponsor to develop a Minimum Viable Product. From there may be an opportunity is for further contracts to develop your solution through to a commercially viable solution.
 Please note that with this Challenge, the opportunity for pre-commercial or follow-on contracts with the Challenge Sponsor, is not only dependent on the suitability and success of the MVP produced during the development stage; the opportunity for further contracts will be dependent on the Challenge Sponsor being able to secure further funding, which is not guaranteed. We welcome all ideas and applications, and particularly encourage proposals that can make the most of the Exploration and Development stages.
 The above dates are specific to this Challenge and respondent should be able to commit to the dates outlined. Please note this process is separate to the CivTech 6 Cohort of challenges and is working to a separate timescale.

title: How can technology enable us to collect, measure, analyse, and report evidence to demonstrate impact?

description:
Across the public, third and private sectors, organisations and programmes need to model the impacts of projects being considered, and once projects are operational to evidence the actual impacts they make. This is required because establishing those impacts, and the resulting value for money are key requirements for all initiatives, large or small.
 Organisations and programmes are often multi-sector and multi-disciplinary, with a rich breadth of primary and secondary outcomes across a wide range of areas including economic, societal, cultural and environmental benefits. This Challenge seeks a robust, streamlined and user friendly way that enables us to predict impact when planning future projects, and then track the developing outputs and outcomes to evidence and demonstrate the full ‘in the round’ impact.

reviewDetails:
Precise information on deadline(s) for review procedures:
 The authority will notify economic operators who submitted a tender or (where no deselection notification has previously been made)
 applied to be selected to tender, of its decision to award the framework agreement which notification will contain among other information,
 a summary of the reasons why the economic operator was unsuccessful. The notification will incorporate a ‘standstill period’ of a
 minimum of 10 clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which
 the authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the authority proposes to conclude the relevant framework agreement. The
 bringing of court proceedings against the authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into

 an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the framework agreement has been entered into include the
 setting aside of the decision to award the framework agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the
 Authority after the framework agreement has been entered into will not affect the framework agreement unless grounds for the imposition
 of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be
 awarded by the courts where the framework agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages. Economic operators are
 entitled to write to the authority after receipt of the notification should they require further clarification.

minimum:
In order to confirm Potential Framework Participants economic and financial capacity the Authority may request some, or all of the
 following:
 (1) Appropriate statements from the Potential Framework Participant's bankers or where appropriate, evidence of relevant professional risk
 indemnity insurance;
 (2) Statements of accounts or extracts from those accounts relating to the business of the Potential Framework Participant where
 publication of the statement is required under the law of the relevant State in which the Potential Framework Participant is established; or

The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District Scotland (AMIDS) is situated in Renfrewshire and forms part of the Glasgow City Region. The AMIDS core site is 52 Ha located adjacent to Glasgow International Airport with excellent rail and road connections, with further infrastructure investment currently underway in the surrounding area, including construction of the first ever opening road bridge over the River Clyde. AMIDS will be Scotland’s home for manufacturing innovation and has already attracted innovation and research facilities, with the Medicines Manufacturing Innovation Centre (MMIC) and National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) both recognising the opportunity. It is currently anticipated that the land available as part of this procurement exercise will be in the region of 74 acres of land within the ownership of Renfrewshire Council (the "Council"). Planning permission in principle is in place, enabling a streamlined approach to future developments and de-risking the opportunity for potential investors.
 In order to further the Council's aims, objectives and vision for AMIDS, the Council is seeking to procure an experienced private sector partner to form a long-term joint venture partnership with the Council in order to drive development of a 74 acre site at AMIDS and attract employers to the district. The Council is looking for the partner who is passionate about the opportunity AMIDS presents and who can bring their expertise to help identify and agree terms with suitable employers locating at AMIDS, finance and manage the development and delivery of user-specific buildings and manage the evolving district to ensure its quality and ambitions remain on target.
 The Council's vision for AMIDS is that the development of AMIDS is designed to be an attractive, campus style business park setting for ambitious, manufacturing focused companies who will use best practice to ensure Scotland’s manufacturing sector can be competitive on an international stage. AMIDS will help make Renfrewshire an economic powerhouse within Scotland’s industrial heartland and will create wealth and opportunities for Renfrewshire, Glasgow City region and beyond. The design of AMIDS will encourage companies to collaborate with each other, tap into the expertise and knowledge base at some of Scotland’s leading education providers and create competitive advantage.
 The joint venture will enter into a Pre-Development Services Contract with the Council. This Agreement will set out the terms upon which the joint venture will supply the required services to the Council in order to develop and deliver Phase 1A, Phase 1 and the remainder of the development of AMIDS.
 It is also anticipated that the private sector partner will be willing to work with a broad range of organisations including the wide range of project stakeholders including UK Government, Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise, Strathclyde University, West College Scotland, NMIS and Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) (representing MMIC). Most of these stakeholders, along with the Council, are part of an AMIDS Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) who are committed to working collaboratively and openly, in an advisory capacity, to aid the development of AMIDS.
 The nature of the joint venture will be discussed with bidders during dialogue. The joint venture partnership will be required to procure the marketing and securing of investors and employers, detailed design, build and completion of the AMIDS development together with associated and ancillary services. The Council envisages that its private sector partner will bring a wealth of commercial expertise to the table with a view to contributing towards economic growth and the development of robust supply chains and wider employment opportunities.. The Council is conducting the procurement process under the competitive dialogue procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and the Council's Standing Orders Relating to Contracts.
 The SPD Information and Instructions, contained in the Suppliers Attachment Area on the PCS-Tender System, provides Bidders with detailed information on the Project.

title: Abernethy RSPB- Sale of standing timber, Mondhuie

description:
The work site consists of three distinct areas making up a 73ha area of c.70 year old Scots pine plantation, one area has not been thinned or racked, the other two areas have been thinned previously with one area having been thinned and ‘restructured’ more recently. The site is mostly racked, but the southern block remains unracked and unthinned.
 The work site includes; c.10.5ha of previously thinned and ‘restructured’ plantation that has significant amounts of created standing deadwood; 4ha of proposed clearfell in 0.5ha blocks, and; 58ha more of proposed thinning in more dense plantation.
 Our preferred contract route is to use a ‘felling and timber sale agreement’ to form the contract for the work. This will confirm the specification in detail and confirm the price per tonne of timber to be paid to the RSPB. However, if the contractor has an alternative preferred contract route this can be reviewed with the successful contractor at offer stage.

title: Independent Child Trafficking Guardians

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: SG officials consider that the combination of an unprecedented number of irregular migrants to the UK (including Scotland) combined with very long timeframes for Home Office decision making has created a backlog which could not be foreseen. Scottish Government Ministers wrote to Home Office Ministers in October 2023 highlighting the need to invest in the UK asylum system to increase the speed and quality of asylum decisions. The issue of National Referral Mechanism decision-making delays has also been raised by Scottish Ministers with the UKG-appointed Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner. In addition, there has been a substantial increase in the number of age-disputed presentations to the Service Provider, partly as a result of the growing number of asylum seekers being accommodated by the Home Office in Scotland under its Full Dispersal programme, and potentially due to the new removal measures for over-18s introduced by the UKG’s Illegal Migration Act (2023).

description: The nature and scope of the contract remain the same. However, the demand for services has increased beyond what was envisaged and therefore, additional funding has been required to ensure continuation of services.

Re ESPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet’s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.
 In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.
 It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.
 In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee.
 Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected.

 Test 1: Turnover Ratio
 Test 2: Operating Margin
 Test 3: Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio
 Test 4: Net Debt and Net Pension Deficit to EBITDA Ratio
 Test 5: Net Interest Paid Cover
 Test 6: Acid Ratio
 Test 7: Net Asset Value
 Test 8: Group Exposure Ratio
 The Authority will independently carry out a credit check for Test 9.
