Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Forestry Commission, which is based in Edinburgh, UK. They are seeking tenders for the project titled "C0063 - Mounding, Drainage & Access Tracks Ross-shire (North Highland)." This initiative falls under the environmental protection industry category and is currently at the tender stage. The submission deadline for bids is set for 27th February 2017, and the contracts will span a period of two years with the option for two extensions of twelve months each, at the discretion of the Commission. The procurement method is an open procedure, allowing a broad range of suppliers to participate.

This tender offers significant opportunities for contractors specialising in excavation, drainage services, and road construction, particularly those with experience in environmental and forestry projects. Businesses that can demonstrate reliability, cost-effective pricing, and a solid track record in delivering similar services would be well-positioned to compete. As suppliers can bid for either of the two available lots in East and West Ross-shire but may only be awarded one, it opens avenues for focused bids while maintaining the potential for sustained relationships in public sector contracting.

The meeting should finish no later than 12:30pm The Full Address of the site is as follows; Forestry Commission Scotland North Highland Forest District The Links Golspie Business Park Golspie Sutherland KW10 6UB No PPE will be required to attend the bidder day Bidders should be aware that attendance to the bidder day is mandatory. Should any tenders be received from bidders who have not attended they will be rejected and will not be evaluated. Wherever possible all questions will be answered on the day. However should we be unable to provide an answer at that time we will broadcast answers in writing to these questions along with confirmation of all other questions and answers raised on the day via the message and answer facility on the PCS-T system. Should suppliers have any further questions following the bidder day, they must submit them to FCS via the message and answer facility on the PCST system. Please note any questions submitted outwith this facility will not be responded to. The following scoring system will be used for evaluating responses to each award criteria question: 0 Unacceptable Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. 25 Poor Response is partially relevant and poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 50 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. 75 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. 100 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. Price will be evaluated using the 'standard differential method' for each sub-lot - each bidder receives 100% of the available marks less the percentage by which their tender is more expensive than the lowest tender. All pricing must be exclusive of VAT. Any costs not included will be presumed to be waived. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 7309.
