Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) seeking providers for Off-site Records Storage & Retrieval Services. This contract, awarded on 10th August 2017, is expected to commence in August 2017 and will last for an initial period of three years, with a budget ranging from GBP 180,000 to GBP 240,000 (excluding VAT). The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the service addresses the needs of various buyers including HIE, The Crofting Commission, and the University of the Highlands and Islands, all located in Inverness, UK. This comprehensive framework contract allows for extensions of up to one year following the initial term, thus reinforcing the potential for ongoing business relationships.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in records management and storage solutions, particularly those capable of providing compliant and efficient service within the stipulated guidelines. Companies that possess the necessary authorisations, such as BS5454:2000/PD5454:2012 compliance, and have experience with public sector contracts, will be well-positioned to compete. The budget allocation and collaborative nature of this framework suggest a promising avenue for growth, particularly for businesses keen on securing multi-year contracts with public sector entities.

Notice Title

Off-site Records Storage & Retrieval Services

Notice Description

This is a Contract AWARD Notice and as such the procurement process is complete. It is expected that these services will be required from August 2017 for an initial period of 3 years, unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of the Framework agreement, with HIE having the option to extend for a period or periods together not exceeding 1 calendar year following the Initial Term.

Lot Information

Lot 1

HIE requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide an off-site records storage and retrieval function. This is a collaborative framework with the Crofting Commission and the University of the Highlands and Islands. The value in II.1.7 is the estimated value including all extensions.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Lots have not been used since this would make the execution of the contract excessively technically difficult.

Options: HIE may require the supplier to provide additional services. Any such modification shall be in terms of Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

Renewal: This Framework will be awarded for 36 months with an optional 12 month extension.

In order to participate, bidders should register, for free, on the Public Contracts Scotland (PCS) website(www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk), and record their interest in this contract and download and complete all relevant documentation. Tenders must be submitted via the PCS postbox and must be received by the published deadline. Late tenders will not be accepted and HIE will reject any submissions received after the deadline. Hard copy responses will not be accepted. PCS also gives suppliers access to an on-line Question & Answer facility which allows queries to be submitted (anonymously), and answers published and shared with all potential bidders. This Framework will be non-exclusive i.e. HIE reserves the right, in certain circumstances, to procure out with the Framework as and when required. The Framework will also be available for call-off by any HIE subsidiary organisation and/or associated company,subject to case-by-case prior approval by HIE. Question scoring methodology for Award criteria is: 0 - Unacceptable - Nil or inadequate response which fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. 1 - Poor - Response is partially relevant but generally poor. It addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 2 - Acceptable - Response is relevant and acceptable. It addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas. 3 - Good - Response is relevant and good. It is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled. 4- Excellent - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. It is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full. (SC Ref:507987)",
