As a consequence of increased slope failures at the A83 Rest and be Thankful, Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the requirement to appoint multi-disciplinary Consultants to develop a scheme to provide a long term, resilient improvement to the trunk road network at this location. Some corridor sifting and baseline route options work has been completed and is available to view at Access to Argyll and Bute (A83) (transport.gov.scot). The consultant is required to provide Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) scheme assessment work, assist in the promotion of the statutory consents and the procurement of contracting services. The consultant is required to provide site supervision services.
 Transport Scotland wishes to address current accessibility issues in the corridor as quickly as possible and the consultant will be required to advise on methods to shorten the development and promotion process. In addition, an interim proportionate route is also required to be
 delivered to provide additional resilience whilst the long term scheme is being developed. Again some options development and scoping is underway and the consultant may be required to develop this work into a deliverable scheme to a short timeframe.
 The Consultant shall provide and perform the Services as instructed by the Employer that may include:
 (i) overall management of the Scheme;
 (ii) undertaking engineering, environmental assessment and transport modelling and assessment of the impacts on the trunk road, local road
 and public transport of the Scheme;
 (iii) assessment of buildability and health and safety aspects of any Specimen Design(s);
 (iv) development of and delivery of the Scheme programme;
 (v) preparation and maintenance of Scheme and Project cost estimates;
 (vi) preparation of statutory consents documentation and support at any inquiry or hearing.
 (vii) preparation of procurement documents and contract documents for constructor(s) for the Scheme or parts of the Scheme, assisted as
 relevant by other specialist consultant(s) or specialist organisation(s) appointed for the Scheme or part of the Scheme;
 (viii) acting as the Engineer or Employer’s Representative as relevant during the construction phase(s) of the Scheme or parts of the
 Scheme.
 Example work packages have been provided as a guide and can be downloaded via the Additional Documents located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This is a guide only and the actual work packages to be included in the contract will be provided at tender stage.
 It is envisaged that the services shall be provided at the Consultants own offices, with attendance required on an ad-hoc basis at Transport Scotland’s offices and construction sites. On occasion, the provider may be required to attend other locations within Scotland as and when required, including attending meetings at Transport Scotland’s main Glasgow office or other stakeholder offices or construction site offices when required.
 The Consultant 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 summarises the criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates to be taken forward to tender stage.
 In order to be considered for this procurement competition, economic operators must complete and submit a Single Procurement Document (SPD), 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:
Economic operators must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade 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). Economic operators should provide details under Question Ref. 4A.1.
 The successful tenderer shall be required to adopt similar principles to the CDM Regulations (2015) and to comply with all other relevant health and safety law. Additionally all site staff are to be accredited under the Construction Skills Construction Safety Scheme (CSCS) or equivalent

Economic operators who are unable to demonstrate that they in place an appropriate quality, environmental or health and safety management system shall be assessed as a FAIL and 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. 4B.6)
 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 contract shall be 120 months. This equates to an estimated value of 2.5M 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. 4B.5)
 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:
 Professional Indemnity Insurance = 5 million GBP
 Public Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP
 Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10 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 SPD, Question Ref. 4B.1.a 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 SPD 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 SPD, Question Ref. 4B.5 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 from this procurement competition.
 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 information has been 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.

 NGS may have additional qualitative and/or quantitative audience research needs but these are yet undefined and will not be in the scope for this Tender. If and/or when additional audience research needs are identified, there would not be an automatic award.
 The agreement will therefore be non-exclusive i.e. NGS reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to procure out with the Contract Agreement, as and when required.
 In the event of unsatisfactory performance by the successful Service Provider and the termination of the contract by either party, NGS reserves the right to negotiate the continuance of the services with the second and third placed Service Providers.

description: Marine Scotland made the decision to not continue with MMO and the UK government with the upgraded version of MFF – FaSS for 2021/2022. This was due to the limited timeline available to Scotland and the low benefit, high effort demand.Therefore it was then agreed to continue the use of the MFF system for Grant Application process for Marine Scotland for the Financial year 2021/22 only. However, new governmental objectives and outcomes have since been released that future grants applications will need to be reviewed against. Steps have been taken internally to work through this comparison manually offline.To continue the use of the MFF system, specific areas will need to be updated to remain compliant, legally and objectively. Additionally, a complete upgrade of MFF into the new MFS objectives is currently unavailable due to the scale of changes required and the restricted timeline. The required changes are minimal as they are compliance only changes.
