Summary of the contracting process

The Forestry Commission is conducting a tender process for the procurement of haulage services for live plants, primarily supporting the environmental protection and forestry industries. This procurement is at the Award stage, with key components including delivery across Scotland and potential deliveries to England under two lots. The deadline for submissions was 20 July 2018, and the contracts were signed in early January 2019. Interested businesses should note that the contract value is estimated at £650,000, and submissions were managed through an open procurement method.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in logistics and transport to engage in public procurement, particularly those experienced in handling horticultural products and adhering to environmental standards. Businesses equipped to perform road haulage across Scotland, with the required operator's licenses and waste carrier registrations, will find this contract ideally suited to their capabilities. Participation in this process could lead to long-term partnerships with the Forestry Commission and contribute to sustainable practices in environmental management.

Where the bidder relies on the capacities of other entities/consortium member in order to meet the selection criteria they must provide a separate ESPD for each entity. Please read the bidders instructions on the ESPD section 2C.1 for full details. If the bidder intends to subcontract any share of the contract to third parties, then the bidder will be required to submit a separate ESPD (Part II A&B, and Part III A&B only) for each subcontractor.

Where changes are made (with the agreement of the FC Framework Manager during the period of the Framework Agreement to the other entities that the bidder relies on in order to meet the selection criteria they must provide a separate ESPD for each new/replacement member to the FC Framework Manager. The ESPD will be reviewed by the FC to determine the appropriateness of the new/replacement member. The FC's decision on whether or not to allow the change/addition will be final. Question Scoring Methodology for Technical Criteria: 0 - Unacceptable - Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. 25 - Poor - Response is partially relevant and poor.
