Over the forthcoming years Transport Scotland has identified the requirement to appoint suitably qualified and experienced multi-disciplinary consultants (\"Consultants\") for provision of services to support delivery of a number of projects and schemes, anticipated from the second Strategic Transport Projects Review in response to the second National Transport Strategy (https://www.transport.gov.scot/media/47052/national-transport-strategy.pdf). (https://www.transport.gov.scot/our-approach/strategy/strategic-transport-projects-review-2/) Such projects and schemes may include but are not limited to: Trunk Road projects; Road safety improvements (e.g. junction improvements); Bus priority schemes; Active travel schemes; Managed motorways or other capacity or demand management schemes; Intelligent transport solutions; Light rail (i.e. Trams and the like); Asset renewal schemes not within the Operating Company remit; and Environmental offsetting or compensatory schemes.",

                "description": "Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the requirement to appoint multi-disciplinary Consultants to provide services for forthcoming roads related transport infrastructure projects and schemes to support its investment in and improvement of the trunk road and transportation infrastructure network. It has been concluded that this requirement would be best met through the use of a multiple supplier framework agreement (MFA). This will not be divided into separate lots. The intent of the procurement competition is to appoint 5 Consultants under a MFA that will be in place for a period of 4 years, during which Transport Scotland shall be entitled to call-off services in relation to projects and schemes of varying size, complexity and value. Having multiple suppliers will provide flexibility to cover situations where potential conflicts of interest or capacity issues arise. It is anticipated that these multi-disciplinary services will be called off via a rotational pattern up to an estimated value of 250,000 GBP. However, for services of greater value or of a particular complexity, Transport Scotland will have the option to run mini-competitions. The scope of services anticipated under this MFA may include, but not be limited to: - Development of programmes for project/schemes from inception through to completion; - Overall project/scheme management; - Assistance as required in the procurement, by competition, of other specialist consultants/contractors; - Completion of Feasibility Studies, Route Action Plans and Scottish Transport Appraisal Guidance (STAG) assessments; - Development of design options for roads based transportation projects (including bus priority schemes and light rail), asset renewal works and Active Travel facilities; - Undertaking a Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) Stage 2 and Stage 3 Assessment or equivalent route options and design and assessment work; - Undertaking public and stakeholder consultation; - Development of a detailed design or Specimen Design; - Completing Environmental Impact Assessment Report; - Performing the appropriate Statutory Processes; - Providing support to the Employer at any statutory proceedings that may be required; - Preparation of Tender and Contract Documentation; - Construction Supervision, including a period of maintenance; - Delivering, recording and reporting Education Liaison and other Community Benefits throughout the period of the Contract; - Provision of training and mentoring services; and - Any other related services requested by the Employer Example work packages have been provided as a guide and can be downloaded via the Additional Documents located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal. This is a guide only at this stage and the actual work packages to be included in the framework agreement will be provided at tender stage. It is envisaged that the services shall be provided at the Consultants own offices, with attendance required on an ad-hoc basis at Transport Scotland's offices and construction sites. On occasion, the provider may be required to attend other locations within Scotland as and when required, including attending meetings at Transport Scotland's main Glasgow office or other stakeholder offices or construction site offices when required. The Consultant will be procured through the restricted procedure, a procedure under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. This is a two-stage procedure, comprising a prequalification stage and a tender stage. Section II.2.9 of this Contract Notice summarises the criteria for choosing the limited number of candidates to be taken forward to tender stage. In order to be considered for this procurement competition, economic operators must complete and submit an European Single Procurement Document (ESPD), which can be downloaded via the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk).. 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. The Framework Agreement will be based on Transport Scotland's bespoke set of conditions. Each economic operator shall be invited to submit a Tender on the same contract terms.",

Acid Test Ratio 2. Cash Interest Cover Ratio 3. Return on Capital Employed 4. Operating Profit Ratio 5. Net Worth 6. Gearing 7. Annual Contract Value to Turnover 8. Filed Accounts 9. Audit Report The scoring mechanism can be downloaded via the Additional Documents, located within the Additional Notice Options of the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). For the purpose of calculating the Annual Contract Value to Turnover ratio the estimated value in II.2.6 of this Contract Notice shall be adopted. Similarly, the duration of the framework agreement shall be 4 years. For the purpose the calculation this equates to an estimated value of 2,000,000 GBP per annum per economic operator. The nine evaluation criteria will be individually scored and given a total aggregated score, out of a possible 50 marks, for each year of trading. Subsequently, each year's score will be weighted, with the most recent (\"Year 1\") weighted at 2/3rds and the previous (\"Year 2\") weighted at 1/3rd, and then aggregated to form an overall score for the two years out of 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 2 years, their financial ratios for the most recent full year of trading will be weighted at 2/3rds scored out of the total 50 marks. If the economic operator is trading for less than 1 year the information provided under III.1.2 b), will be prorated up to 1 year to calculate financial ratios for the a full year and this will be weighted at 2/3rds and scored out of the total 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the score achieved by an economic operator (either a single economic operator or a group of economic operators) is less than 25 marks, out of the potential total aggregated score of 50 marks. A submission shall be marked as a FAIL and will not be considered further if the economic operator is unable to provide appropriate information to enable the calculation of the financial ratios. Where the submission has been submitted by a group of economic operators, the information submitted by each group member will be evaluated in the proportion of the percentage shareholdings or percentage equity/interest of each group member and a score determined for such group of economic operators on that basis. A \"group of economic operators\" is defined as an unincorporated consortium or joint venture. Insurance (Question Ref. 4B5) In response to Question Ref. 4B5 a, b and c economic operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the framework agreement, the following levels of insurance: Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP Public Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP in respect of each and every claim in the period of the insurance, but shall be limited to 10 million GBP sterling in the aggregate in the period of insurance. Professional Indemnity Insurance = 5 million GBP in respect of each and every claim in the period of the insurance, but shall be limited to 10 million GBP sterling in the aggregate in the period of insurance.
