description: Economic Operators will be evaluated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 on the basis of information provided within the ESPD.

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.4)
 The financial information received under Question Ref. 4B.4 of the ESPD shall be evaluated by CalMac Ferries and scored out of a total weighted score of 50 by allocating a score against nine individual economic and financial standing evaluation criteria, namely:
 1.	Acid Test Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 2.	Cash Interest Cover Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 3.	Return on Capital Employed (maximum possible score 6)
 4.	Operating Profit Ratio (maximum possible score 6)
 5.	Net Worth (maximum possible score 6)
 6.	Gearing (maximum possible score 6)
 7.	Annual Contract Value (2 Million GBP) to Turnover (maximum possible score
 8.	Filed Accounts (maximum possible score 2)
 9.	Audit Report (maximum possible score 6)
 The individual scores shall be weighted for Year 1 and Year 2, with the most recent financial statements (Year 1) to be weighted at 67% with year 2 being weighted at 33%, to form an aggregated score for each of the nine criteria over the 2 years. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum cumulative score resulting from the summation of the nine economic and financial standing aggregated scores shall be 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by a Single Economic Operator (or a Group of Economic Operators) is less than 20 out of 50. The scoring mechanism document has been attached to the document attachment area of PCS-T. 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. However, where an Economic Operator has structured themselves to rely on one Economic Operator to satisfy elements then CFL shall require joint and several liability.
 In the event that any Economic Operator does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the Economic Operator may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee; Economic Operators should note that a Parent Company Guarantee is not otherwise required.
 There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Economic Operators economic and financial standing.
 In response to Question Ref. 4B.5.1a 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2 Economic Operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement the following levels of insurance:
 Employer’s Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million
 Public Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million
 Professional Indemnity Insurance = GBP 5 Million
 The Economic Operator should purchase any other insurance cover as necessary, taking into account the terms and conditions of this contract.
 In responding to Question Ref. 4B.5.1a 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2 of the ESPD, where an Economic Operator ticks the box “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” the submission shall be marked as FAIL. Economic Operators which alter their composition after making a submission will be the subject of re-evaluation. CalMac Ferries reserve the right not to conclude any contract as a result of the procurement process initiated by this notice and to make whatever changes CalMac Ferries deem appropriate to the content, process, timing and structure of the procurement process.

description:
Please refer to these statements when completing Qualification Envelope Part 4B of the ESPD (Scotland) Statement for 4B.
 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 Question Ref. 4B.1.1 provide the specified ('general') annual turnover and the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not UK registered company) 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 Question Ref. 4B.2.1 provide the specified annual turnover in the business area(s) covered by the contract notice and the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not UK registered company) for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years;
 (c)	in response to Question Ref. 4B.4 economic operators should provide the name and value of 9 (NINE) financial criteria for both of the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years. Economic operators must also insert the corresponding score for each of the 9 criteria, for both financial years, with reference to the Financial Scoring Mechanism for ESPD (which can be found within the supplier attachment area of PCS-T). Economic operators should insert the score for each ratio value x 0.67 for Year 1 values and x 0.33 for Year 2 values to form an aggregated score as explained further below. The sum of these 2 weighted scores will be the weighted score for each ratio. The maximum possible weighted score for all 9 ratios is 50 (an example submission is provided within the Financial Scoring Mechanism document within the ESPD general attachment area); and
 (d)	in response to Question Ref. 4B.5 confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract, the required levels of insurance.

minimum:
Qualification Envelope: Part 3, Section A, B, C, D and Part 4 Section C will be scored on a pass/fail basis. If any question subject to
 ‘pass/fail’ scoring be scored ‘fail’ the entire submission may be set aside and take no further part in the competition.
 Statement for question 4C - Client References
 The three highest scoring tenderers who are nominated to progress to the Invitation to Tender stage (ITT) may have their references taken up by CalMac Ferries limited. The object of this exercise is the validation of the information presented during the ESPD process.
 Statement for question 4C.10 - Bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and if so, for what proportion of the contract.

description:
Technical or Professional Ability Part 4C.
 This ESPD is designed to allow CFL to review evidence of prior implementations of your software product(s) and should not make forward-looking statements or predict where products or features may have utility for CFL.
 CFL will use the information provided in suppliers’ responses to questions in this ESPD to demonstrate that your software product, as implemented, was:
 a. Modern: was able to demonstrate the use of supported software, was modular and extensible and offered production-proven API integration beyond simple booking APIs only
 b. Off-the-shelf: was in use across multiple ferry operators, was built on a single codebase that was shown to be common to multiple client instances, and that followed a roadmap of security and feature releases that were common to the various ferry operator clients using the product within the examples provided.
 c. Market-proven: was shown to be in continuous use by ferry operator clients, and who have extended their relationship with your organisation beyond initial contract term, and have implemented all published upgrades.
 In addition, CFL requires that you are able to demonstrate via previous examples that a range of implementation services, software support and maintenance arrangements (whereby new releases were provided along with support to remedy problems) were included with the software.
 Suppliers should note that evidence of meeting these criteria is expected in the response to each question.
 The scored questions are as follows:
 Q1 - Please evidence that your ferry booking and ticketing product is a packaged Commercial Off-The-Shelf software product, and that a common, consistent version of the software is in use with multiple ferry operators.

 Q2 - Please provide evidence, using an example of a full implementation of your ferry booking and ticketing software product, that your product has managed all travel product sales, including all bookings, reservations and ticket sales, irrespective of sales or fulfilment channel, against available capacity:11%
 Q3 - Please evidence that your organisation has provided supporting configuration, training, implementation and support and maintenance services on the last two client implementations of your full ferry booking and ticketing software. Please state the go-live date for each example, and describe the support and maintenance operating model:6%
 Q4 - Please evidence, using as many ferry operator examples as necessary, that your ferry booking and ticketing software has been deployed successfully with the following features: multiple vessels, which are transferrable between routes, multi-leg journeys, routes where travel is reservable, and routes where tickets are purchased immediately prior to travel:18%
 Q5 - Please evidence that your full ferry booking and ticketing software has been implemented successfully within a 12-month period from contract start to go-live. Please include examples of two client implementation plans, ensuring contract start and go-live dates are included for each:18%
 Q6 - Please demonstrate that your ferry booking and ticketing software has been used to achieve custom integrations using its standard API set. Please provide two or more examples from recent client implementations. Good examples might include integration with kiosks, self-service check-in machines, an SMS service provider, Content Management or Customer Relationship Management systems or custom applications such as handheld check-in and/or ticket sales or customer-facing mobile applications:18%
 Q7 - Please demonstrate that your ferry booking and ticketing software has delivered enhanced reporting and analytical capability to your clients using business intelligence techniques e.g. through a Data Mart or analytical cube. Please include examples of two client implementations, stating how these clients have used this capability:11%

Introduction
 Glasgow Subway currently operates an Airwave secure radio communication system that facilitates all day to day operational communications within its infrastructure and also allows SPT to communicate with the emergency services via the secure ESN communication network, in times of emergency. In addition to SPT’s internal operational communications, the current radio system also allows the emergency services to independently communicate within the Subway sub-surface system.

documentType: awardNotice

scheme: CELEX

procurementMethod: limited

mainProcurementCategory: goods

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale: The ESN hardware and services are currently provided, operated and maintained by Airwave Solutions (a Motorola company). In December 2015, the Government awarded the new ESN user services and mobile services contracts to Motorola Solutions for handsets and EE Limited for infrastructure, respectively. These new contracts will phase in a new communication service that will incorporate 4G connectivity. The Government’s programme is now in the mobilisation phase before the start of transition to a full new ESN system. This planned transition was intended to be rolled out between 2017 and 2020 but due to significant delays in this process, confirmation of when this final transition will take place has yet to be confirmed by the Home Office. What is now understood is that due to the delays with this implementation the new ESN Contract, the Home Office has extended the current contract with Airwave Solutions till December 2022 with the option for a further year to December 2023.

But ESN is still not operational, therefore a first Airwave extension through 2022 was progressed and this second extension through 2026 is now required

The procurement falls under Reg 33(1)(b)(ii), as we believe that Intelligent Imaging Innovations Ltd. (referred to as 3i, and also trading as INTELLIGENT IMAGING INNOVATIONS, INC.) are the only company able to provide a system capable of simultaneous scanned multiphoton imaging with scanless 3D patterned multiphoton illumination on one microscope in combination with a second spatially uncoupled super-resolution spinning disk confocal microscope, where all three systems are controlled with sub-millisecond precision.
 3i are uniquely able to supply the equipment and software capable of fulfilling our requirements.
 We require that imaging modalities can be switched in the tens of microseconds timescale, such that illumination light from the lower microscope does not interfere with the sensitive detectors on the upper microscope. Conversely, where interference between upper and lower microscopes is not a problem, the two systems must be able to image simultaneously. 3i have an expertise in synchronising multiple imaging modalities (e.g. point scanning and camera based confocal microscopes) and stimulation modalities with high temporal control, through their proprietary hardware and software solutions.
 Our minimum requirements of the goods include supply of holographic light patterning equipment utilising temporal focusing technology to minimise the axial confinement of patterned light to within ~10µm, even when simultaneously stimulating several regions spread across hundreds of micrometres. To the best of our knowledge, 3i are the only company to have a commercial product capable of this standard of photo-stimulation. 3i have an exclusive license to this technology (patented by CNRS, EP3268792A1, OPTICAL SYSTEM FOR SHAPING THE WAVEFRONT OF THE ELECTRIC FIELD OF AN INPUT LIGHT BEAM).

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 most economically advantageous tenderer shall be recalculated and 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.

description:
Transport Scotland intends to undertake a public procurement competition for the provision of Archaeology Services, which are required on Transport Scotland projects. The services comprise of Invasive Archaeology Services, Non-Invasive Archaeology Services, and Advisory Services.
 Over the forthcoming years, there a number of projects which shall require such archaeological services. These include, but are not limited to:
 -	A9 Dualling Programme; and
 -	A96 Dualling Programme
 Due to the repeat need for these services, coupled with the exact requirement and timings being unknown, it is considered that these services would be best met through the use of a framework agreement. Furthermore, due to the nature and quantum of the services it is intended that the services will be divided into 3 lots:
 -	Lot 1 – Advisory Services;
 -	Lot 2 – Low Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values <100k GBP)
 -	Lot 3 – High Value ‘Non-invasive and Invasive Investigations’ and ‘Post Excavation Services’ (contract values >100k GBP)
 Following an analysis of future spend, the current estimated spend values per lot is as follows:
 -	Lot 1, 5M GBP
 -	Lot 2, 0.25M GBP
 - Lot 3, 21M GBP
 Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.
 Transport Scotland will conduct the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers.

Each economic operator shall be invited to submit a Tender on the same contract terms.
 To be considered for this procurement competition, economic operators must complete an ESPD through the Public Contract Scotland portal and submit the completed ESPD electronically by no later than 12 noon BST on 21 August 2020.
 Transport Scotland shall not evaluate any ESPD received past the specified deadline, unless the delay is caused by a situation out with the control of the economic operator, the determination of which shall be at the sole discretion of Transport Scotland. Compliance in achieving the specified deadline is the sole responsibility of the economic operator.
 Economic operators which alter their composition after making a submission or whose position has materially changed will be the subject of re-evaluation. Transport Scotland reserves the right, at any point, to request current and up-to-date information to enable re-evaluation of any economic operator. As set out in accordance with section II.2.9 above, an economic operator who no longer has the requisite: technical or professional ability; human resources; or economic and financial standing, as required under this Contract Notice shall be excluded from this procurement competition.
 Any request by economic operator’s for clarification of any part of the documentation shall be made using the Question and Answer feature on the Public Contract Scotland portal. If the query is commercially sensitive then it should be made to the following email address: debra.macleod@transport.gov.scot. The decision whether a request for clarification shall be considered commercially sensitive or not rests solely at the absolute discretion of Transport Scotland. The deadline to submit questions relating to the submission is 5pm on 7 August 2020.
 Transport Scotland shall not be responsible in any way to economic operators as a result of any delay or failure in answering any request for clarification or any decision not to answer a request for clarification (either in full or in part). Absence of a response from Transport Scotland shall not entitle economic operators to qualify their submission. Transport Scotland reserve the right not to conclude any Framework Agreement as a result of the procurement process initiated by this notice and to make whatever changes Transport Scotland deem appropriate to the content, process, timing and structure of the procurement process.
 Transport Scotland and the Scottish Ministers shall have no liability for any costs howsoever incurred by those participating in the competition. Economic operators should be aware that all information submitted to Transport Scotland may need to be disclosed and/or published by the Transport Scotland in compliance with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

III.1.3) Technical and professional ability of the Contract Notice Part A
 III.1.3) Technical and professional ability (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 Under ESPD: Question Ref. 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 Statement (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 Statements (c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be assessed on the basis of a score with a minimum threshold, using the following
 scoring mechanism:
 – Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion (0 - Unacceptable);
 – Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capability/capacity (1 - Poor);
 – Response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience, knowledge and skills/capacity/capability but may lack in some aspects of similarity e.g. previous experience, knowledge or skills may not be of a similar nature (2 - Acceptable)
 – Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (3 - Good)
 – Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar services to similar clients (4 - Excellent)
 An ESPD 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.

 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 Minimum level(s) of standards required:
 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 4 years. This equates to an estimated value of 416.7k GBP for Lot 1, 62.5k GBP for Lot 2 and 1.75M GBP per annum per economic operator.
 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 a 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 = Lots 1 and 2 are 5M(million) GBP Lot 3 is 10M GBP, Public Liability Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 and 3 are 5M GBP and Professional Indemnity Insurance = Lot 1 is 2M, Lot 2 is 1M and Lot 3 is 5M (GBP).
 Such insurances shall provide cover to a value of at least the value stated in respect of each and every claim in the period of the insurance, but shall be limited to the value stated in the aggregate in the period of insurance.
 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.

Additional Information for III.1.2) - part A
 III.1.2) Economic and financial standing (Revised Text)
 List and brief description of selection criteria:
 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 shall 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 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.
