"description": "Please see \"NP51825 Information & Instructions Document\" for all additional guidance. All values within this notice refer to the full 4 Four (4) year agreement. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 60229. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: Not Required. 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: It has been decided that community benefits, additional to the supply and service of the products detailed in the framework requirements are applicable and all respondents are required to propose a single, or multiple models and suggestions, of what can be offered. It is recognised that the framework, initially, does not commit any levels of expenditure to appointed suppliers. Community Benefits will therefore only be applicable when a Participating Authority (or Participating Authorities) commit to a level of spend of a minimum of 50k GBP. Suppliers will be asked for suggested models, with increasing benefit as commitment increases, within their offer. It should be noted that community benefits are focused on helping and supporting the community within that Participating Authority's geographical area. (SC Ref:812925)",

The notification will incorporate a 'standstill period' of a minimum of 10 (ten) clear calendar days (or a minimum of 15 (fifteen) if the communication method used is not electronic) between the date on which the Authority despatches the notice(s) and the date on which the Authority proposes to conclude the relevant Framework Agreement. The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority during the standstill period will automatically continue the prohibition on entering into the Framework Agreement until the court proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of, or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The remedies that may be awarded by the courts before the Framework Agreement has been entered into include the setting aside of the decision to award the Framework Agreement to the winning tenderer(s). The bringing of court proceedings against the Authority after the Framework Agreement has been entered into will not affect the Framework Agreement unless grounds for the imposition of special penalties under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 can be established. Otherwise the remedies that may be awarded by the courts where the Framework Agreement has been entered into are limited to the award of damages"
