Lot Information

Product Readiness Assessment

The winning Suppliers will support the company with an independent commercial assessment of the status of their current product and service and recommendation for future actions. This can be undertaken in isolation, or can be combined with other support as a way to enhance the benefit to the companies of going through a test centre, however it is recognised that not all companies will need to go through a test centre. This service will offer companies a maximum of two days consultancy time and will focus on establishing the market readiness of their product or service.. 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.

Renewal: This contract will be for 3 years with an option to extend for 12 months. The estimated value detailed includes the one year optional extension.

Product Trial Support

The winning Suppliers will support the company focused on making the most from their use of a test centre. The definition of a test centre is a physical place where the company submits their product for independent testing. This includes Scottish Water sites at Bo'ness and Gorthleck, other official test centres and testing with a partner or potential customer. From prior experience it is known that some companies require support to make the best possible use out of time allocated in a test centre. This can typically include guidance in advance of going to the test centre, how to set up the test itself and guidance on information to be collected; support during the testing to make sure all goes as smoothly as possible; and support after the test to support the company to make best use of all information collated. It is anticipated that the majority of companies will not need support in all three areas therefore the grant funding is between 5 to 10 days to be agreed with Scottish Enterprise in consultation with the company.. 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.

Renewal: This contract will be 3 years with an option to extend for 12 months. The estimated value detailed includes the one year optional extension.
