This procurement includes additional procurement-specific minimum requirements which are detailed in the Concluding Statements box of the Qualification Envelope in PCS-T. Note: Bidders must complete the ESPD (Scotland) to demonstrate adherence to the Exclusion and Selection Criteria for this procurement. If there are named subcontractors/technicians upon which the bidder will rely upon to meet the selection criteria, these named parties must complete and reattach the first three sections of the ESPD Supplier Response Forms (MO Excel document) attached to ESPD question 2C.1.1 on PCS-T, which includes all exclusion criteria. In their PCS-T response, the main bidder must also clearly indicate which element(s) of section 4 selection criteria the named party are fulfilling on their behalf. Please note that except in the case of joint or consortia bids, the criteria on which the main bidder can rely upon a named party to fulfil will not include financial standing or certain other requirements. The University reserves the right to request this information from relevant parties upon whom the main bidder will not rely to fulfil selection criteria. The University is committed to leveraging all of its activity to promote inclusive growth and benefits for all of our communities. To this end, the University wishes to collaborate with suppliers to achieve and implement robust, proportionate and relevant Community Benefits in relation to this contract. The ESPD therefore requests information about areas of possible benefit and the ITT will request detail of proposals from bidders regarding Community Benefits. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 14309. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2361 A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Appendix 1 Community Benefits and Partnership menu (on PCS-Tender)shows a list of community benefits with key themes, each with suggested strategically-aligned activities that bidders can select from and include in their response. We also welcome the bidders own proposals for outputs within these themes. In the context of this project, we would expect all bidders commit to the following as a minimum: a) Select at least one CB activity that directly impacts University of Edinburgh students. This may take the form of placements, internships, research sponsorships, among many other things. Section 2 of the menu 'UoE Student Experience and Employment' lists examples related to this. b) The University would like to invite bidders to explore areas of mutual interest in the area of research and innovation. Thus, the University expects the bidder to commit to a small number of engagements or discussions with the University during the contract period with the person(s) responsible in your organization(s) for areas like Research and Development, Innovation, Business Improvement, or similar areas. If possible, bidders should commit to this in their response and provide contact details for nominated for engagement with the University. We would suggest at least 3 hours are allocated for said discussions over the contract period. These could be in person or by phone, and would not commit either party to further action. More detail about collaborative activities the University can facilitate are listed in the menu under section 3 Research, \"Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Third Sector\". (SC Ref:594359)",
