Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process involves Scotland Excel, a central purchasing body based in Paisley, Scotland, seeking contracts for "Asbestos Surveys, Removals & Disposals and Analytical Services." The tender was officially planned on May 8, 2018, with a deadline for submissions set for June 11, 2018. The procurement method employed for this contract is an open procedure, aimed at delivering comprehensive asbestos-related services for all 32 local authorities in Scotland. Unfortunately, the contract has been cancelled due to discrepancies in insurance requirements, signalling a need for a revised approach in future tenders.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in asbestos management and remediation services, including surveying, removal, disposal, and analytical testing. Companies that possess the necessary accreditations, such as UKAS certifications, and hold adequate insurance policies are particularly well-suited to compete in this open procurement process. With Scotland Excel planning to reissue the tender in early 2019, businesses should prepare to align their proposals with the revised requirements to capture potential revenue from this substantial public sector contract.

This formal notice is issued to you in accordance with Regulations 85(7) and (8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 which require us to set out the reasons for Scotland Excel's decision to abandon this tender. They are as follows:- During the tender period it has become clear that the insurances the market is able to provide are inconsistent with the advertised minimum insurance requirements, detailed in the Contract Notice (Section III.I.2). This impairs the like-for-like comparison of bids. Scotland Excel plans to issue a new tender for the service in early 2019 following consultation with its member Councils in order to ensure the requirements reflect their needs. We would take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in this framework and confirm that further contracting opportunities, including the new tender for this requirement, will be published on the Public Contracts Scotland portal.
