Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Webcasting Services 2021" contract is being conducted by the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, located in Edinburgh, Scotland. This contract falls under the services industry category and was initiated through an open tender procedure. The tender period is currently closed, with submissions due by 26th February 2021. The contract, awarded on 18th March 2021, has an estimated value of £483,000 and is designated as a business-critical requirement for the Scottish Parliament, necessitating expedient action due to ongoing performance issues with the previous contractor.

This contract provides a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in webcasting and digital media services, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in developing and maintaining high-traffic websites and streaming services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in this sector would be well-positioned to compete, especially those capable of managing complex technical requirements, such as simultaneous live streams and comprehensive content management systems. With the potential for extensions and the importance of quality in service delivery, participants who can meet stringent technical and financial criteria are likely to thrive in this competitive landscape.

Tenderers are encouraged to review their financial performance on Creditsafe and read information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at http://www.creditsafe.com/products/business-credit-reports/ If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed. If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out.",

If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and has the backing of a parent company with a credit rating of 40 or higher, then the provision of a Parent Company Guarantee prior to the award of any contract will be acceptable. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and no evidence to support a stable or improved financial standing then the tender may be rejected."

The examples provided must demonstrate experience of the following, as a minimum: - Experience of building, hosting and supporting a website with similar levels of traffic/usage to the SPCB. - Experience of building and hosting a reliable streaming/distribution service with similar levels of traffic/usage to the SPCB, where applicable providing evidence of working alongside any potential third-party streaming companies. - Experience of supporting systems similar in nature to SPCB requirements. - Experience in building and supporting systems for a no fail, high profile environment, such as the Scottish Parliament. Each example should be wholly relevant to all, or part, of the services to be provided and collectively they should demonstrate experience in all parts of the services. In answering the question, a simple assertion will not be acceptable evidence; bidders should provide detailed evidence to demonstrate the breadth of their experience and capability. Should the bidder fail to demonstrate experience in all of the areas outlined as a minimum, or provide insufficient evidence to back up their experience, at the SPCB's discretion, then the SPCB reserve the right to mark the SPD response a fail and not proceed to tender evaluation.
