Notice Title

Multiple Framework Agreement for Asset Management

Notice Description

The Multiple Framework Agreement for Asset Management will enable the continuation of Transport Scotland's Asset Management Improvement Programme (AMIP). The AMIP delivers a number of tangible benefits to the practices of the organisation and it's supply chain and has been instrumental in delivering increased funding for trunk road maintenance. Specialist asset management consultancy support is therefore required for activities including lifecycle planning; network resilience; scheme identification, prioritisation and optimisation; updates to road asset management policy, strategy and plan; information management; performance management; staff support and training. It is expected that these services will be delivered through a combination of external support and secondment.

The framework agreement will be in place for a period of 4 years to award tasks and continue beyond that period until the satisfactory completion of tasks awarded. Transport Scotland is an agency of the Scottish Government and contracts in the name of and on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. Transport Scotland has identified the requirement to appoint consultants to undertake specialist asset management consultancy to support Transport Scotland's ongoing Asset Management Improvement Programme. It has been concluded that this requirement would be best met through the use of a multiple supplier framework agreement. The intent of this competition is to procure three suitably experienced service providers ("Framework Participants") that will permit the execution of services in relation to projects of varying size, complexity and value. Having three Framework Participants allows Transport Scotland to select consultants based on the availability of the most appropriate technical skills and ability. In addition, this arrangement provides flexibility to cover situations where potential conflicts of interest or capacity issues arise. The services will generally be called off from the framework agreement on the basis of the technical ability of framework participants based on the assessment of the quality criteria of the tender. In addition, the Employer will have the option to run mini-competitions as an alternative where it considered advantageous to do so. The Contractor will be procured through a competitive tender procedure, in accordance with the restricted procedure as provided for in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
