description:
JHI's overall ambition for the Hydroglen project is to demonstrate that it is possible to take an existing operational farm and make it 100% self-reliant based on a combination of on-site generated renewable energy, fuel cells and energy storage involving batteries and hydrogen. The site energy requirements include residential and commercial loads as well as the needs of planned electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell cars and machinery which will use HydroGlen as a testing facility. The objective is that by utilising renewable energy and hydrogen, the daily facility electricity demands are covered but as well that on-site hydrogen is generated through electrolysis with the net excess of renewable energy production. It is also intended that HydroGlen is operated in such a way, with a focus on modularity, that the HydroGlen solution can be scaled up or down in accordance with the individual requirements of other farms.
 More specifically a successful outcome will entail HydroGlen producing sufficient renewable energy over a 3-month operational period (including commissioning) to demonstrate it has generated more than Glensaugh Farm’s net energy usage equivalent over the same period via renewable energy generation sources, while producing green hydrogen via electrolysis and successfully compressing, storing, and then reconverting to electricity via fuel cell.
 The operation of the commissioned HydroGlen project will not interfere with or materially disadvantage the normal operations on Glensaugh farm.
 JHI wishes to procure a partner to progress the HydroGlen project over the course of 2024 and 2025. The Technical Specification will set out the successful outcome required for HydroGlen but will not mandate how that successful outcome will be achieved. Bidders' proposals will be required to demonstrate that their bid solution meets the outcome-based goals of JHI but the overall design and approach to delivery (including recommended systems, key equipment capacity and configuration) will be for the bidder to specify.
 Acknowledging that this is a proof-of-concept project, bidders will only be asked to commit to a fixed price for the initial design development work in their bids. However, as part of the technical (quality) submission, bidders will also be required to provide an estimated cost for the project which will be assessed by JHI for deliverability. Once the detailed design work has been completed, the contractor will be required to propose a fixed cost for the delivery of the HydroGlen project and will be obliged to procure the project for that fixed cost acting as the EPC contractor. The fixed cost must not be more than the total budget.
 It is expected that bidders will want to use the concept design work undertaken on behalf of JHI by ITPEnergised and Thornton Tomasetti to develop their own proposals for the HydroGlen project subject to such proposals being capable of meeting the overall objectives of JHI for HydroGlen.
 JHI has a total budget of GBP3.5m (including VAT) for the HydroGlen project. The feasibility of how the overall goals of the HydroGlen project can be achieved within the total budget of GBP3.5m (including VAT) will be discussed with bidders during dialogue and inform bidders' proposed solutions.
 It is anticipated that the appointed EPC contractor will progress its preferred solution pursuant to the terms of the EPC Contract to an approved detailed and coordinated design (for which it will be responsible) and this design will then be delivered on a turn-key basis.

Envisaged number of candidates: 3
 Objective criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates:
 Owing to character limitations in the Contract Notice not all criteria and information relating to this procurement can be included in this notice. The Objective and Non-Discriminatory Criteria are set out in full in the SPD Instructions which can be accessed through the website set out at Section 1.3. The SPD selection process will be carried out in 3 stages:
 Stage One: Compliance Check and Exclusion Grounds (Mandatory and Discretionary) (Pass/Fail) – that the Bidder has submitted a complete and compliant SPD response; and whether any of the Bidder’s, consortium members and/or reliance entities (if any) are in breach of the mandatory grounds for exclusion or, in the case of the discretionary exclusion grounds, are considered ineligible at the discretion of JHI, in accordance with Part III of the SPD and Regulation 58 of the Regulations.
 Stage Two: Selection Criteria - Minimum Requirements (Pass/Fail) - that the Bidder meets the requisite economic and financial standing selection criteria deemed appropriate for the Project set out in Part 3 of the SPD Instructions; and meets the technical and professional ability selection criteria set out in Part 3 of the SPD Instructions.
 Stage Three: Down Selection - Bidders who pass Stage One and Stage Two will have their SPD response scored in accordance with the Down Selection Criteria. The Down Selection Criteria are set out in Part 3 of the SPD Instructions. The Down Selection Criteria will be applied to all Bidders that pass Stage 1 and Stage 2 to reduce the number of Bidders that are invited to participate in dialogue.
 It is JHI's intention that 3 but in any event not more than 4 Bidders achieving the highest scores will be invited to participate in the competitive dialogue process.

HydroGlen is a sustainable green hydrogen and climate positive farming community demonstration and agricultural research project, being developed by the James Hutton Institute & Partners (JHI) at the Glensaugh research farm near Fettercairn, Laurencekirk, Scotland.
 HydroGlen will combine the on-site generation of renewable energy (utilising wind and / or solar generation) and hydrogen production via electrolyser, with energy storage of compressed hydrogen and electric battery. Vehicle refuelling for both hydrogen and electric vehicles is included in the concept, and the overall objective is for the full farm electricity, transport and heating fuel to be displaced by the HydroGlen system. HydroGlen will provide a scalable and replicable model for farming and other rural communities to become self-reliant, low-carbon energy producers and exporters, generating 100%+ of their electricity, heating and transport fuel energy requirements from renewable sources.
 JHI has a total budget of GBP3.5m (including VAT) for the HydroGlen project. The feasibility of how the overall goals of the HydroGlen project can be achieved within the total budget of GBP3.5m (including VAT) will be discussed with bidders during dialogue.
 A more detailed description of the proposed procurement and JHI's overall objectives for the HydroGlen project are set out in the Initial Descriptive Document, which is available at the address set out at section 1.3.

title: Lot 1-1 - Residential Construction - 1 to 30 Homes

description:
The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) wishes to appoint contractors to a Framework Agreement to deliver elements of the Council’s Housebuilding Programme.
 The Council and RSL partners have an ambition to construct approximately 25,000 new affordable homes. There are also opportunities for other organisations to utilise the Framework Agreement. In order to realise these goals, the Council requires an efficient route to market for the design and construction of affordable, new build housing across the city.
 Typically, the Council’s delivery model for new build housing is via the following methods;
 (a) On land currently owned by the Council or acquired for this purpose
 (b) By purchasing parts of developments being built privately.
 (c) On Council owned land where, due to complexity, it enters into development partnerships (generally for mixed tenure and mixed-use developments)
 The New Build Housing Framework Agreement that this Contract Notice relates to will primarily, but not exclusively, manage projects delivered via option (a) as above. However, successful organisations should be amenable and able to facilitate the procuring of options (b) and (c) where required.
 There is a strong desire to innovate in the design and construction of the new homes and to deliver sustainable communities through place-making. All homes will be constructed, as a minimum, to net zero carbon and the Council is seeking to innovate beyond this standard where real benefit can be provided for tenants.
 Through the construction of new housing, the Council is seeking to support the Council’s Business Plan and Core Principles as well as promote and encourage the following outcomes;
 - Compliance with the Council’s Design Guide (a summarised version is attached as Annex 5. This document is an example and a summary of the full design guide, which is subject to review and update when required)
 - Quality Management and Assurance
 - Accelerating delivery and promoting innovation throughout design and construction
 - Cost Compliance/Achieving Best Value
 - Experience of working with different Forms of Contract and Procurement Approaches
 - Collaboration with different stakeholders and partners
 - Working with SME’s and Local Supply Chains including compliance with prompt payment terms
 - Operating in a sustainable manner and achieving sustainable outcomes
 - The delivery of community benefits aligned to the needs of the local area and Council tenants
 - Compliance with Fair Working Practices/Initiatives
 - Impact positively on the Housing Emergency, which was declared in 2023.
 With the renewal of this Framework Agreement, the Council is looking to establish a group of housebuilding contractors committed to delivering the Council’s vision for the creation of high quality, vibrant and sustainable places where people want to live.
 This Framework Agreement is open to all organisations named in this notice, however, it is not necessary for tenderers to necessarily be able to provide works in all regions, it is only necessary to be able to provide works to the greater Lothian region.
 Lot 1.1 will comprise of sites ranging from 1 home to 30 homes.
 This Lot shall cover both Build Only (where the contractor fulfils a design provided by the Council) and Design and Build (where the contractor has full design responsibility following the Council’s supplied brief) requirements. It is anticipated that the majority of projects utilising the Framework Agreement will focus on building affordable homes. However, mixed tenure may also be utilised in certain circumstances as well as other residential schemes, including but not limited to, care homes, nurseries, supported living accommodation and temporary accommodation.
 Design team novation will need to be accepted and managed appropriately by successful organisations where applicable.

description:
A two stage process shall be followed.
 Stage 1 - Pre-Qualification via the SPD. The SPD asks tenderers general questions; when completing tenderers must consider statements in this Notice that detail specific requirements. Tenderers must
 a) Pass the Minimum Standards in SPD Sections 2,3,4 and 5 in the PCS-T Qualification envelope. Statements for Section can be found in III.1.1, III.1.2, and III.1.3 of this Notice.
 b) Complete the scored SPC Section 4C (Technical and Professional Ability) found in the PCS-T Technical Envelope. Statements for these questions can be found in Section III.1.3 of this Notice.
 Section 4C will be scored as per the scoring methodology detailed below.
 4 - Excellent - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full.
 3 - Good - Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled.
 2 - Acceptable - Response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas.
 1 - Poor - Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled.
 0 - Unacceptable - Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement.

 The New Build Housing Framework Agreement that this Contract Notice relates to will primarily, but not exclusively, manage projects delivered via option (a) as above. However, successful organisations should be amenable and able to facilitate the procuring of options (b) and (c) where required.
 There is a strong desire to innovate in the design and construction of the new homes and to deliver sustainable communities through place-making. All homes will be constructed, as a minimum, to net zero carbon and the Council is seeking to innovate beyond this standard where real benefit can be provided for tenants.
 Through the construction of new housing, the Council is seeking to support the Council’s Business Plan and Core Principles as well as promote and encourage the following outcomes;
 - Compliance with the Council’s Design Guide (a summarised version is attached as Annex 5. This document is an example and a summary of the full design guide, which is subject to review and update when required)
 - Quality Management and Assurance
 - Accelerating delivery and promoting innovation throughout design and construction
 - Cost Compliance/Achieving Best Value
 - Experience of working with different Forms of Contract and Procurement Approaches
 - Collaboration with different stakeholders and partners
 - Working with SME’s and Local Supply Chains including compliance with prompt payment terms
 - Operating in a sustainable manner and achieving sustainable outcomes
 - The delivery of community benefits aligned to the needs of the local area and Council tenants
 - Compliance with Fair Working Practices/Initiatives
 - Impact positively on the Housing Emergency, which was declared in 2023.
 With the renewal of this Framework Agreement, the Council is looking to establish a group of housebuilding contractors committed to delivering the Council’s vision for the creation of high quality, vibrant and sustainable places where people want to live.
 This Framework Agreement is open to all organisations named in this notice, however, it is not necessary for tenderers to necessarily be able to provide works in all regions, it is only necessary to be able to provide works to the greater Lothian region.
 Lot 1.3 will comprise of all sites over 100 homes.
 This Lot shall cover both Build Only (where the contractor fulfils a design provided by the Council) and Design and Build (where the contractor has full design responsibility following the Council’s supplied brief) requirements. It is anticipated that the majority of projects utilising the Framework Agreement will focus on building affordable homes. However, mixed tenure may also be utilised in certain circumstances as well as other residential schemes, including but not limited to, care homes, nurseries, supported living accommodation and temporary accommodation.
 Design team novation will need to be accepted and managed appropriately by successful organisations where applicable.

title: Lot 2 - Collaborative Residential Construction

description:
The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) wishes to appoint contractors to a Framework Agreement to deliver elements of the Council’s Housebuilding Programme.
 The Council and RSL partners have an ambition to construct approximately 25,000 new affordable homes. There are also opportunities for other organisations to utilise the Framework Agreement. In order to realise these goals, the Council requires an efficient route to market for the design and construction of affordable, new build housing across the city.
 Typically, the Council’s delivery model for new build housing is via the following methods;
 (a) On land currently owned by the Council or acquired for this purpose
 (b) By purchasing parts of developments being built privately.
 (c) On Council owned land where, due to complexity, it enters into development partnerships (generally for mixed tenure and mixed-use developments)

title: New Build Housing Framework Agreement

description: The City of Edinburgh Council has a requirement to develop a Framework Agreement that will enable the construction of new build affordable housing as part of the Council’s ambition to increase the provision of Council and other forms of affordable housing across the city region.

description:
The City of Edinburgh Council (CEC) wishes to appoint contractors to a Framework Agreement to deliver elements of the Council’s Housebuilding Programme.
 The Council and RSL partners have an ambition to construct approximately 25,000 new affordable homes. To realise these goals, the Council requires an efficient route to market for the design and construction of affordable, new build housing across the city.
 Typically, the Council’s delivery model for new build housing is via the following methods;
 (a) On land currently owned by the Council or acquired for this purpose
 (b) By purchasing parts of developments being built privately
 (c) On Council owned land where, due to complexity, it enters into development partnerships (generally for mixed tenure and mixed-use developments)
 The New Build Housing Framework Agreement that this SPD relates to will primarily, but not exclusively, manage projects delivered via option (a) as above. However, successful organisations should be amenable and able to facilitate the procuring of options (b) and (c) where required.
 There is a strong desire to innovate in the design and construction of the new homes and to deliver sustainable communities through place-making. All homes will be constructed, as a minimum, to net zero carbon and the Council is seeking to innovate beyond this standard where benefit can be provided for tenants.
 The Council is seeking to support the Council’s Business Plan and Core Principles as well as promote and encourage the following outcomes;
 - Compliance with the Council’s Design Guide (a summarised version is provided as a brief of the full design guide, which is subject to review and update when required)
 - Quality Management and Assurance
 - Accelerating delivery and promoting innovation throughout design and construction
 - Cost Compliance/Achieving Best Value
 - Experience of working with different Forms of Contract and Procurement Approaches
 - Collaboration with different stakeholders and partners
 - Working with SME’s and Local Supply Chains including compliance with prompt payment terms
 - Operating in a sustainable manner and achieving sustainable outcomes
 - The delivery of community benefits aligned to the needs of the local area and Council tenants
 - Compliance with Fair Working Practices/Initiatives
 - Impact positively on the Housing Emergency, which was declared in 2023.
 With the renewal of this Framework Agreement, the Council is looking to establish a group of housebuilding contractors committed to delivering the Council’s vision for the creation of high quality, vibrant and sustainable places where people want to live.
 The Councils, RSLs and other organisations named within the Contract Notice can also access the Framework Agreement, those anticipated to participate are listed in Section I.
 Due to the nature of the works required, especially but not exclusively in relation to maximising transferable benefits in relation to the Collaborative Residential Construction Lot, additional organisations may be included in scope in future. If that is the case, an addendum will be issued to this notice.
 The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 27230 . For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343
 A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363
 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/
 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows:
 Community Benefits will be assessed in a general terms at Invitation to Tender Stage for entry to the Framework Agreement.
 Specific Community Benefits shall be set at call off stage in relation to the requirements and needs of the immediate local area and Council tenants in which the works are taking place.
