title: ChargePlace Scotland Charge Point Network Operator Services - Single Supplier Framework Agreement

description: Two renewals of 12 months each.

description:
The CPNO will be expected to provide the following basic requirements:
 i. provision and quality assured operation of a robust and reliable charge point management system, Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) compatible with all types of charge point currently installed on the ChargePlace Scotland network;
 ii. delivery of a service capable of managing tariff collection for over 250 hosts;
 iii. provision of an active fault management capability including fault reporting and liaison with both host/owners and maintenance contractors;
 iv. provision and operation of a fully staffed 24/7 customer service facility with capabilities of customer contact via various modes including social media;
 v. provision and operation of a publically accessible website, providing an interactive, real time status mapping system of the ChargePlace Scotland network;
 vi. ability to develop and provide interoperability services;
 vii. provision of a reliable and efficient communications strategy to inform users of the status of the network, and to promote the benefits of the network and electro-mobility to the general public.
 It is envisaged that the services can be provided remotely at the economic operator’s offices with attendance required on an ad-hoc basis at Transport Scotland’s offices. However, on occasion, the provider may be required to undertake the following duties:
 i. attend the offices, or other locations within the UK as and when required;
 ii. attend meetings at Transport Scotland’s main office in Buchanan House, Glasgow or other offices as and when may be required;
 iii. liaison with other Transport Scotland advisers/ consultants/ contractors at their specific offices.
 The supplier will be procured through the restricted procedure, a procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This is a two-stage procedure, comprising a prequalification stage and a tender stage. Section II.2.9 of this Contract Notice describes the criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates.
 In order to be considered for this procurement competition, economic operators must complete and submit an ESPD, which can be downloaded via the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk).
 It is anticipated that a total of 5 economic operators will be invited to tender stage.

description:
Scottish Ministers have invested in the region of 30M GBP since 2011 to establish a comprehensive electric vehicle charging network across Scotland which now consists of over 1000 publically available charge points across the mainland and islands. This investment supports the ambition to phase out the need for new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2032.
 Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, are now seeking to appoint a new Charge Point Network Operator (CPNO) (“single supplier”) for the management of the publically available electric vehicle charging network, known as ChargePlace Scotland.
 It has been concluded that these services would be best met through the procurement of a single-supplier framework agreement, which offers both the required flexibility and prompt response mechanism to meet demand, which is required for the ad-hoc nature of these services.
 It is intended that the framework agreement shall be for a period of 2 years, with the option for 2 further year long extensions, during which the Scottish Ministers shall be entitled to call-off services from the framework agreement. It is estimated the value of services to be called-off over the two year period, will be in the order of 2,500,000.00 GBP.

performanceTerms:
It is the Employer’s policy to measure the performance of each Consultant on a regular basis.
 In the event that the Consultant’s performance falls below a satisfactory level, the Consultant will be invited to determine a means of rectifying the situation. Repeated or continual service failures shall result in suspension or termination of the contract.

description:
Under Question Ref. 4A1a of the ESPD, if appropriate economic operators must be enrolled in the relevant professional registers kept in the Member State of its establishment (as described in Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015) (i.e. registered under Companies House or equivalent if not a UK registered company).
 Staff
 It is a requirement of the contract that the economic operator shall possess the necessary human resources who shall be qualified appropriately and have the requisite experience to perform the requirement as described under Section III.1.3 of this Contract Notice.
 Management Systems
 Under ESPD, Question Ref. 4D.1 and 4D.2 economic operators shall be required to demonstrate that they have in place appropriate quality, environmental and health and safety management systems.
 Quality Management System
 This may be European Foundation Quality Model (EFQM) or equivalent; BS EN ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management Systems); other accredited management system; or own non-accredited management system.
 Health and Safety Management System
 This may be BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) and associated standards; other accredited management system; or own non-accredited management system.
 Environmental Management System
 This may be BS EN ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management Systems); other accredited management systems; or own non-accredited management system.
 Economic operators should specify their recognised accredited system or own non-accredited system, which shall ultimately be adopted under the Framework Agreement. Responses shall each be assessed on the basis of PASS or FAIL. Economic operators who obtain a FAIL in any of their responses shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

minimum:
Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. These are described below:
 Evaluation Criteria Ratios (Question Ref. 4B6)
 The following nine evaluation criteria shall be scored, for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years:
 1. Acid Test Ratio
 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio
 3. Return on Capital Employed
 4. Operating Profit Ratio
 5. Net Worth
 6. Gearing
 7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover
 8. Filed Accounts
 9. Audit Report
 The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). For the purpose of calculating the Annual Contract Value to Turnover ratio the estimated value in II.2.6 of this Contract Notice shall be adopted. Similarly, the duration of the framework agreement shall be 2 years. This equates to an estimated value of 1,250,000 GBP per annum.
 The nine evaluation criteria will be individually scored and given a total aggregated score, out of a possible 50 marks, for each year of trading. Subsequently, each year’s score will be weighted, with the most recent (“Year 1”) weighted at 2/3rds and the previous (“Year 2”) weighted at 1/3rd, and then aggregated to form an overall score for the two years out of 50 marks.
 If the economic operator is trading for less than 2 years, their financial ratios for the most recent full year of trading will be weighted at 2/3rds scored out of the total 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 1 year the information provided under III.1.2 b), will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by an economic operator (either a single economic operator or a group of economic operators) is less than 25 marks, out of the potential total aggregated score of 50 marks.
 A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the economic operator is unable to provide appropriate information to enable the calculation of the financial ratios.
 Where the submission has been submitted by a group of economic operators, the information submitted by each group member will be evaluated in the proportion of the percentage shareholdings or percentage equity/interest of each group member and a score determined for such group of economic operators on that basis.
 A “group of economic operators” is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture.
 Insurance (Question Ref. 4B5) In response to Question Ref. 4B5 a, b and c economic operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the framework agreement, the following levels of insurance:
 Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP
 Public Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP
 Professional Indemnity Insurance = 5 million GBP
 In responding to Question Ref 4B.5 a, b and c, where the economic operator responds “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” they shall be marked as FAIL and shall be excluded from this procurement competition.

description:
Economic operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. To determine these standards, economic operators shall:
 a) in response to ESPD, Question Ref 4B1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years;
 b) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B6 provide the name, range and score of nine financial criteria for each year for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and
 c) in response to ESPD Question Ref 4B5a, b and c confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance.
 In addition to the information requested under (a) to (c), economic operators must provide a link/copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company). For the avoidance of doubt, if an economic operator fails to provide accounts relating to its last two full years of trading that are due to have been filed, that economic operator will be excluded.
 Where economic operators have not yet been trading for a full two year period, such that filed accounts are not yet due and available, and limited only to that circumstance, the required information to support (a) to (c) above may take the form of appropriate third party / statements setting out turnover, profit and loss, cashflow (current and forecast) and the economic operator’s credit facility position. Note there will, however, be a negative scoring implication, as noted below and in the Additional Documents.
 This above information is requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought.

rationale: Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: No additional services required this is to correct the estimated value.

description:
This modification is required to increase the estimated lifetime value of the framework agreement to facilitate the shift away from the current ChargePlace Scotland delivery model. The incumbent operator will now be required to wind-down all aspects of the CPS service, including transitioning assets to many new charge point operators, requiring additional time and funding to ensure a seamless, managed closure of the CPS network.
 This modification includes an amendment to the estimated value of the framework which was originally anticipated to be 5 million (GBP) over 24+12+12 months in line with the Short Description of the Contract Notice (Ref: FEB382111).
 This is the estimated value for any remaining Call-Offs made to the end of the period of the Framework Agreement.

description: Scape Procure Scotland Ltd (Scape) wishes to establish a framework agreement for a 4-year duration with an option to extend for a further 2 years, for use by or on behalf of public sector bodies (and their respective statutory successors and organisations created as a result of re-organisations or organisational changes). Applications are invited from experienced providers of Construction works and services who can provide high quality works and services as defined defined by the NUTS and CPV codes below using a customer focused approach, particularly in the public sector. It is anticipated that the works and services will be provided by the provider themselves, through their supply chain or via a consortium/joint venture arrangement. This opportunity is divided into four (4) lots and potential suppliers MUST indicate which lot or lots they intend bidding for and whether bidding as a single entity or as part of a consortia arrangement. Bidders need only complete one (1) PQQ for each value band, which will then be considered for both lots within that value band. The evaluation process will ensure only the top five (5) highest scoring compliant bidders in each value band will be invited to respond to the ITT.

title: Scape Construction framework — Scotland

periodRationale: Scape recognises the considerable investment in infrastructure, equipment, people, process and systems required to create and manage the expert, local and responsive supply chains to operate this framework. An initial term of 48 months will only be extended by 24 months in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the procurement documentation.

performanceTerms: Further information will be made available in the invitation to tender documentation and the framework agreement itself. See contract documents for further details.

reviewDetails:
The contracting authority will incorporate a minimum 10 calendar day standstill period (or 15 days where non-electronic or fax methods are used) at the point that an award decision notice is communicated to tenderers. The award decision notice will specify the criteria for the award of the framework agreement, the reasons for the decision, including the characteristics and relative advantages, the name and score of the successful tender and will specify when the standstill period is expected to end or the date before which the contracting authority will not conclude the framework agreement. If an appeal regarding the award of a contract has not been successfully resolved, the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, set out the time frame within which aggrieved parties who have been harmed or are at risk of a breach of the rules may take action in the High Court. Any such action must be brought within 30 days from the date when the economic operator in question first knew or ought to have known that grounds for the bringing of proceedings had arisen. The Court may extend the 30-day period in a particular case if it considers that there is good reason for so doing, up to a period of 3 months from the actual or deemed date of knowledge of the economic operator. The Court may order the setting aside of the award decision or may order the contracting authority to amend any document and may award damages. If the framework agreement has been entered into the Court may make a declaration of ineffectiveness or may order that the duration of any relevant specific contract be shortened and additionally may award damages. The time limit for seeking such a declaration is generally 30 days from notification of
 The award (either by award decision notification or contract award notice depending on the circumstances) or otherwise 6 months. Proceedings may be instigated by the issue of a claim form meeting the requirements of the Court Procedure Rules (‘CPR’) within 30 days from when the relevant economic operator first knew or ought to have known that grounds for proceedings had arisen.

This notice is not an invitation for formal expressions of interest. The purpose of this PIN is to commence the pre-procurement market engagement phase through market a awareness event, before the start of a formal procurement process, for which a separate contract notice will be issued.
 At the market awareness session Scape Procure Scotland will inform the market about their upcoming procurement and provide an opportunity to consult with and receive feedback from potential suppliers. In the formal procurement process to follow, applications will be invited from suitably experienced suppliers of construction services who can provide high quality services using a customer focused approach.

title: Lot 4 - Upper 7.5m GBP plus

title: Lot 1 - Lower 0 - 10m GBP

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: It was not known at the time of awarding this Lot of the Framework whether the 24-month extension period would be utilised. The decision has now been made to proceed with the formal 24-month extension.

periodRationale: Scape recognises the considerable investment in infrastructure, equipment and people, process and systems required to create and manage the expert, local and responsive supply chains to operate this framework. An initial term of 48 months will only be extended by 24 months in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the procurement documentation.

description: Scotland

title: Lot 2 - Lower 0 - 10m GBP

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: No extra works are needed. A change of contractor will not ensure the Framework is delivered as awarded. Projects intended to fit within certain value bands no longer fit within these due to increased inflation. Modifying will allow projects to be allocated to value bands as originally intended at award. This is a permitted modification; the inflation increase was unforeseen; the Framework’s overall nature will not alter and the increase will not be 50% or more of the original Framework value.

description: Due to unforeseen increase in inflation globally it has become apparent that proposed projects are more expensive than originally estimated and no longer align with Framework value bands. We therefore intend to vary the value bands increasing these using BCIS indices under the existing National Construction Framework through a Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 permitted modification. The overall Framework value will not be altered, and no other changes will be made.
