description:
The government has stated a clear ambition for the UK to cement its place as a ‘science superpower’. This means that a secure and sufficient pipeline of pupils studying science subjects and performing well in them is needed. This pipeline begins with the provision of regular, high quality science lessons to drive performance at primary level, and continues throughout education.
Overall, A level exam entries in the sciences have increased significantly over the past decade, as have the number of students completing the EBacc science component. The challenge is not only to sustain this overall progress by supporting each stage of science education, but also to address the particular challenges that science education faces.
These are:
•	The need to drive good outcomes for all and at all levels, especially following the impact of Covid-19 on learning, and in particular to address the disadvantage gap in performance at GCSE and A level.
•	The need to continue driving participation in A level sciences, and in particular to pursue measures to tackle the longstanding low levels of uptake of A level physics, particularly by females.
•	The need to bolster the confidence of primary science teachers in delivering all aspects of the primary national curriculum for science.
•	The need to encourage science teacher retention (particularly physics teacher retention) in the context of high levels of turnover.
Supporting good quality teaching is paramount for addressing these challenges - both in terms of supporting effective delivery of lessons and subsequent outcomes and also for inspiring students to continue studying science subjects to a higher level. The department has committed to level up education standards across the country so that children and young people in every part of the country are prepared with the knowledge, skills and qualifications they need. This includes addressing the disadvantage gap in performance.
The department currently funds three programmes focussing on the delivery of CPD: the Science Learning Partnerships (SLP), Enthuse bursaries and the Stimulating Physics Network (SPN). These programmes have been running for several years with Enthuse bursaries starting in 2008, SPN in 2009 and SLP in 2005. The programmes have been successful in supporting teachers to deliver the high-quality lessons needed to facilitate a good supply of high-performing science students, but continued work is needed to meet the ongoing challenges outlined above.
The purpose of the new programme is to deliver CPD for the sciences to state-funded schools in order to raise the quality of science teaching and to support teachers. At primary level this should cover the teaching of primary science as part of the national curriculum, and at secondary level should cover the separate sciences of biology, chemistry and physics at key stage 3, GCSE and A level.
The department remains committed to the existing delivery model of bursary funding to provide targeted access to CPD and two separate school-led networks: Science Learning Partnerships, covering all three secondary sciences and primary science, and the Stimulating Physics Network giving targeted support to physics teaching in order to improve the take-up of A level physics.
To simplify governance, administration and contractual and grant funding arrangements and promote financial efficiency and consistency of approach, we have chosen to draw the three existing programmes into one new contract and with a single oversight and administration body.

description: 1 option year

description:
Navy Command Head Quarters (NCHQ) and Defence Digital (DD) have an enduring requirement to ensure Contractor Logistic Support (CLS), to all welfare services, is maintained on applicable surface and subsurface platforms. The three main functions of the Future MMM contract will be to:
a) Provide Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) for in-service Orbit TV (the TVRO capability that receives the SSVC British Forces Broadcast Service from satellites) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027;
b) Provide ILS for in-service SRE (the ships distribution system for TV and Radio services) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027; and
c) Provide ILS for in-service Wi-Fi (Welfare Wi-Fi allows sailors to access the internet in their messes) equipment for five years from 1st April 2022 to March 31st 2027.
The new contract for the Future Support to Maritime Multimedia Equipment on RN Platforms will ensure that all the above services are supported for the five-year period (with one option year). The transition period shall be included within the Contract term. The remaining spares for the Orbit solution have already being procured by the incumbent supplier, however the new supplier will need to complete an inventory of this equipment to capture the condition of the Orbit, SRE and Wi-Fi equipment. This will enable configuration management to be maintained through the contract period.
The Supplier will be responsible, in full or in part, for the following high-level activities:
a - Ongoing support of MMM Equipment (including WiFi Equipment that will be procured through a separate contract – this will require the winning supplier to work alongside the winner of the Welfare WiFi Equipment requirement).
b - Configuration Management

The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a cryogenic measurement platform for the purposes of quantum devices testing. Devices under test will typically be semiconductor or superconductor nanodevices, for instance functioning as prototype quantum bits, quantum sensors, or quantum electrical standards.
The required temperatures and continuous run time required dictate that this must be a ‘dry’ dilution fridge system with base temperature <30 mK and with the sample under vacuum. This will feature a gas handling unit and pumping system with control software for automated cooldown and remote monitoring. We have several systems like this from various manufacturers and have extensive experience with this technology.
This particular unit will be installed into a screened room in a newly refurbished/extended metrology lab, the Advanced Quantum Metrology Lab (AQML). This imposes some constraints on the geometry of the fridge installation and the location of external pumps and compressors, including the requirements to run all electrical and gas lines to the fridge via the metal bulkhead of the shielded room.

description:
Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland has identified the requirement to appoint a suitably experienced Contractor to undertake non-invasive and invasive pre-construction archaeological investigations for the A9 Dualling – Tomatin to Moy scheme.
It is intended that the contract will be in place for a period of approximately 25 months covering two main phases of work:
(i) Phase 1 – Archaeological Trial Trenching, Surveys, Reporting and Archiving, estimated to approximately 5 months.
(ii) Phase 2 (if required following Phase 1) – Archaeological Strip, Map and Excavation, Reporting, Post-Excavation Analysis, and Publication, estimated to approximately 20 months.
Transport Scotland will manage the proposed procurement process for the non-invasive and invasive pre-construction archaeological investigation contract (the “Contract”) on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. In the event of the contract award, the Contract will be entered into between the Scottish Ministers and the successful tenderer.
The contract terms and conditions will be based on Infrastructure Conditions of Contract Archaeological Investigation Version August 2011. Each selected economic operator shall be invited to submit a Tender on the same contract terms.
The Contractor will be procured through a competitive tender procedure, in accordance with the restricted procedure as stated in 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 the prequalification stage, economic operators are required to complete and submit an 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.
Due to the specialist archaeological expertise required for this project, the non-invasive archaeological investigations, the archaeological trial trenching, post-excavation assessment and reporting, any potential archaeological strip, map and excavation, associated post-excavation assessment and reporting are to be performed under a single contract and as such shall not be divided into lots.
Requirement:
The requirement for archaeological investigation is evaluated in the Environmental Statement (ES) for Scottish Trunk Road schemes. It was identified in the cultural heritage chapter and the Schedule of Environmental Commitments in the A9 Dualling – Tomatin to Moy Environmental Statement (ES) that archaeological investigations would be required for the scheme. The investigation is required in order to reduce the effect of the scheme on the archaeological resource through the acquisition of a full archaeological record and an evidence based interpretation of that record.
The services required are likely to include: non-invasive and invasive archaeological investigations, and post-excavation assessment, analysis, reporting and publication. The non-invasive archaeological investigations are likely to include: earthwork and landscape surveys, metal detector survey, and a building survey. The invasive archaeological investigations are likely to include: trial trenching, followed by potential strip, map and excavation, with subsequent post-fieldwork assessment, analysis, and reporting.

name: Quality criterion: Execution of services; comprehension of risks associated with services; management methodology; and programming of the works

name: Cost criterion: Final tenders will be assessed against evaluation criteria to determine the most economically advantageous submission.

description:
It is intended that a maximum of five economic operators be taken forward to tender stage. These economic operators shall be those who have:
(i) submitted a compliant submission, comprising the completed SPD;
(ii) satisfied the relevant selection criteria under the exclusion grounds;
(iii) (a) Minimum Standards of Eligibility - provided evidence of working on specified types of projects over a specified value; and
(b) Technical or Professional Ability - provided evidence demonstrating an acceptable level of technical or professional ability; and
(c) Human Resources – possess the necessary human resources, qualified appropriately to perform the requirement.
(iv) quality, environmental and health and safety management systems and appropriate sustainability measures attributing significantly to the requirement put in place;
(v) satisfied minimum standards of economic and financial standing;
(vi) achieved the first, second, third, fourth or fifth highest combined weighted scores in respect of technical or professional ability calculated in accordance with the responses to Statements (c), (d), (e), and (f) (refer to Section III.1.3).
However, if an economic operator has not submitted a compliant submission as described in (i) above, failed in respect of either (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v), above, then that economic operator shall be excluded from the ranking of scores described in (vi) as above.
In terms of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, there will be a requirement on economic operators to provide proof of economic and financial standing and of technical and professional ability prior to proceeding to the next stage of the competition and contract award and the tender documents will contain specific provisions requiring tenderers to inform Transport Scotland of any changes to their economic and financial standing or technical and professional ability during the procurement competition. Further, Transport Scotland reserves the right to undertake further verification to ensure continuing compliance with the selection criteria at any time prior to proceeding to the next stage of the competition and contract award, including during any standstill period. If means of proof does not satisfy Transport Scotland’s selection criteria and/or if an economic operator no longer meets the requirements set out in the tender documents it shall be excluded from this procurement competition. If this follows tender evaluation, including during any standstill period, the next ranked most economically advantageous tenderer shall be requested to provide proof of economic and financial standing and technical and professional ability with a view to contract award.
Economic operators who do not meet:  selection criteria as set out in this contract notice; requirements leading to exclusion otherwise set out in the tender documents or who would otherwise be excluded automatically under Regulation 58(1)-(3) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or at the discretion (if exercised so as to exclude) of Transport Scotland under Regulation 58(4) or 58(8), shall be excluded from this procurement competition. For the avoidance of doubt, any economic operator who meets the selection criteria at the initial evaluation but subsequently, prior to contract award, fails to meet such criteria, 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 25 months. This equates to an estimated value of [216000 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. 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 = 5 million GBP
Employer's (Compulsory) Liability 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 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.

minimum:
(a) Within the last 5 years, have you provided archaeological investigation and/or mitigation services for an infrastructure project, where such services contracted have been to the value of at least 50000 GBP  (exc of VAT)? If YES, please provide details.
(b) Provide information on up to 5 “reference projects” undertaken in the last 5 years, where you provided invasive archaeological investigations, non-invasive archaeological investigations, archaeological post-excavation services, including specialist analysis, reporting, archiving, remedial conservation and publication.  You should detail the scope, size and/or complexity of the services required and your specific role. These reference projects should be used by economic operators to answer Statements (c) to (f).
(c) Working with key stakeholders (weighting 30%) – Detail your approach to working with utility companies, major commercial third parties, and national heritage institutions during archaeological works, ensuring that the rights, interests and requirements of all parties are protected and delivered. Provide an indication of the approaches to the consultation and evidence of the development of mutual value (Max 1000 words).
(d) Communities (weighting 30%) – Detail your approach to engaging with the community, how you managed and mitigated impacts from archaeological investigations on communities and the wider environment (including traffic management), how you addressed and managed community issues and complaints, how you updated communities about activities taking place, and the effectiveness of any mitigations was assessed. Experience of delivering public engagement events to promote archaeological finds should also be included (Max 1500 words).
(e) Management Systems (weighting 25%) – Detail your approach to ensuring your health and safety environmental compliance and quality management systems, processes and procedures are adhered to by all members of staff. This should include details of how any breaches are managed and mitigated (Max 1000 words).
(f) Fair work and equality practices (weighting 15%) – Detail your approach to ensure equality and Fair Work practices for staff (including any agency or sub-contractor staff) engaged in the delivery of similar services. Provide: evidence of fair and equal pay (including paying the real living wage and pay gap); working hours; commitment to promoting equalities (including stability of employment) and details of employee training initiatives (i.e. skills development, apprenticeships, knowledge promotion/sharing) (Max 1000 words).

description:
For 4C1.2 economic operators shall be required to insert suitable responses to Statements (a) to (f) set out below, demonstrating that they have the required minimum standards of eligibility and technical and professional ability. Answers to these statements shall be provided by single economic operators and by groups of economic operators (group members should not respond individually).
Response to (a) shall be assessed on the basis of PASS or FAIL. Economic operators who fail to satisfy this minimum standard (either they answer ‘No’ or fail to provide an acceptable answer) shall be excluded from the procurement competition.
Statement (b) is not scored but is required to be completed.
The responses to (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be assessed on the basis of a score from 0 – 5, with a minimum threshold. The scoring criteria can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk).
A submission shall be marked as FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved for any statement is less than 2. Where a response is 2 or greater it shall be weighted in accordance with the following weightings: Statement (c) = 30%; Statement (d) = 30%; Statement (e) = 25%; Statement (f) = 15%. The weighted scores shall be aggregated to calculate a score out of 100 for the 4 statements. Words in excess of the maximum word limit for each statement will neither be considered nor scored.
