The successful Contractor must demonstrate that all employees assigned to this Contract currently hold basic industry standard certification such as the “Thorough Examination and testing of LEV systems.”
 -	BOHS accredited P601 Thorough Examination and Testing of Local Exhaust Ventilation Systems.
 -	GAS Safe Register.
 In addition, the Contractor will be expected to carry out repairs and remedial tasks which may involve works such as re-design of extraction hoods, duct works etc and subsequent recommissioning of systems. As such the Contractor must demonstrate that all relevant staff currently hold qualification such as:
 -	BOHS accredited P602 Basic Design Principle of LEV Systems
 -	BOHS accredited P604 Performance Evaluation and Management of LEV Systems
 -	BOHS accredited W201 Basic Principle of Occupational Hygiene
 Any Contractor bidding for the works must currently hold as a minimum, affiliate membership of a body such as the British Occupational Hygiene Society, or equivalent as approved by Dundee City Council.
 All electrical work shall be carried out by a Contractor within an approved body such as National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) and/or the Trade Association or equivalent.

minimum:
The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts. Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their financial strength and stability.
 It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability.
 Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.
 As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:
 A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;
 audited or unaudited (if the company has no legal audit requirement) accounts for any years trading to date, and
 letter of support for the bidder’s bank setting out the level of financial support available to the business from the bank and for how long that is available.
 A bank letter of support should explain the amount and duration of financial support made available to the business by the bank and what information, such as a business plan for the period 01/07/2024 – 31/06/2027, was considered by the bank in deciding to make that support available. These are matters of fact not opinion so should be able to be given by any bank on the authority of their customer.

The University of Edinburgh has a requirement to establish contracting arrangements to appoint suppliers to a Framework Agreement for the provision of Electrical Works and Associated Services.
 It is proposed this procurement will be conducted through the use of an Open Procedure. The evaluation process shall be as follows.
 The SPD (Scotland) will include a series of Minimum Standards in relation to mandatory and discretionary criteria which govern the public sector and this specific requirement. These are pass/fail requirements and failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process. Each Bidder passing the Minimum Standards will then be subject to a technical and commercial evaluation.
 The Technical section is allocated a total weighting of 70%. Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example, if a question is weighted 10 percent and the submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then the score achieved will be 7.5 percent out of a possible 10 percent. A 60% technical minimum threshold will apply - bidders will be required to achieve a minimum score of 42% or more of the overall technical score of 70% in order to progress to the commercial stage of evaluation.
 The Commercial (Price) section is allocated a total weighting of 30%. The bidder who submits the lowest cost will be awarded the maximum score allocated to the price element and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid.
 The technical and commercial score will be combined to give each bidder, who has passed the technical threshold, an overall total score.
 Suppliers will be allowed to bid for any number of Lots and may be awarded onto one or both Lots, however, to reduce dependency on the first ranked supplier, a supplier may only be ranked first in one of the Lots and consideration will be given to the supplier’s Lot preference.
 The four (4) highest scoring suppliers will be invited on to each of the Lots. The service requirements are the same in each Lot and both Lots will have the same quality and price questions and weightings. In the event a supplier is ranked first in both Lots, consideration will be given to the first ranked supplier’s preferred Lot. The second ranked supplier in the remaining Lot will be allocated first ranking.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

 Lot 2 – Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Accommodation, Catering and Events (ACE) and Professional Services.
 Suppliers will be allowed to bid for any number of Lots and may be awarded onto one or both Lots, however, to reduce dependency on the first ranked supplier, a supplier may only be ranked first in one of the Lots and consideration will be given to the supplier’s Lot preference.
 The four (4) highest scoring suppliers will be invited on to each of the Lots. The service requirements are the same in each Lot and both Lots will have the same quality and price questions and weightings. In the event a supplier is ranked first in both Lots, consideration will be given to the first ranked supplier’s preferred Lot. The second ranked supplier in the remaining Lot will be allocated first ranking.
 The Framework Agreement will be in place for an initial term of 2 years, with two options to extend for periods of 1-year each (2+1+1).

The Decision Support tool is a critical component of NHS 24 systems. It aids call handlers in providing safe, patient-centred care for services such as the Forensic Medical Examination (FME), Scottish Emergency Dental Service (SEDS), Mental Health Hub, and the 111 service.
 The entire 111 service is designed around a clinically safe decision support tool to guide callers to the right endpoint.
 The current tool, Arezzo, provided by Elsevier, manages clinical protocols and provides the ability to triage patients. During delivery of the replacement Contact Centre CRM, it was identified that the current tool is approaching end of life and becoming unsupported, with a replacement product (CRE) being offered.
 Having undergone considerable procurement and market research, CRE was confirmed as the only viable option to balance, risk,cost, technical feasibility, ease of implementation and critically, patient safety.. NHS24 intends to award a contract for the Provision of a Clinical Reasoning Engine under the terms of Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii), Regulation 33(1)(c) and Regulation 33(4)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

procurementMethodRationale:
Please refer to section VI.3) additional information in this notice for more detail.

 -	Absence of competition for technical reasons, and;
 -	Extreme urgency, and;
 -	for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
 in accordance with Regulation 33(1)(b)(ii), Regulation 33(1)(c) and Regulation 33(4)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
 It is NHS 24’s intention to review how decision support is delivered in the future and to competitively procure a solution at the end of the advertised contract period.

Explanation:
 NHS 24 is currently undergoing a Digital Transformation Programme (DTP) to implement a new integrated Contact Centre (CC) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. A critical component of this project is the Decision Support tool, which aids call handlers in providing safe, patient-centred care for services such as the Forensic Medical Examination (FME), Scottish Emergency Dental Service (SEDS), Mental Health Hub, and the 111 service.
 The entire 111 service is designed around a clinically safe decision support tool to guide callers to the appropriate endpoint. The current tool provided by Elsevier manages clinical protocols and enables patient triage.
 The scope of the DTP included the retention of the existing clinical decision support tool during the CC/CRM implementation. This decision was taken due to the complexity of the content, clinical safety and minimising any disruption and training needs for Call Handlers and Clinicians.
 It was recognised that the current tool would require updating once the CC/CRM system was implemented due to the age of the product.
 During the DTP, the current product was identified as end of life and the provider confirmed that they could not support it beyond October 2025. The product is obsolete and will not be available beyond October 2025 and it would not be possible for any other third party to manage and maintain the tool beyond its end of life for proprietary reasons.
 It is essential to the progress of the CC/CRM implementation that a decision support tool is available for software testing by no later than December 2024, to ensure the essential functions of the application are working correctly. This is a vital programme milestone to ensure continuity of service and to maintain patient safety.
 Extensive market research undertaken by Gartner on behalf of NHS24 and a Request for Information (RFI) conducted through NHS England’s Health Systems Support Framework (Decision Support Tool & Integrated Care Management Lots) showed that there was no other viable solution off the shelf without risking clinical safety or a major change to NHS 24’s triage process. There is not sufficient time to procure a bespoke (not off the shelf) solution as this would result in a gap in service provision and an unacceptable risk to patient safety.
 Elsevier provides a specialised service through its updated Clinical Reasoning Engine (CRE), which is uniquely suited to NHS 24's needs for decision support in clinical triage and integrates seamlessly with its systems and processes, including significant NHS 24 IPR subsisting in decision tree processes which are designed to work with this tool and would require considerable time and significant additional financial investment to replicate with an alternative tool.
 NHS 24 intends to proceed with awarding a contract under the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice on grounds of:
 -	Absence of competition for technical reasons, and;
 -	Extreme urgency, and;
 -	for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
 in accordance with Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
 It is NHS 24’s intention to review how decision support is delivered in the future and to competitively procure a solution at the end of the advertised contract period.
 NHS 24 will observe a standstill period of 10 calendar days following the publication of this notice.
