Lot Information

Lot 1

As a consequence of increased slope failures at the A83 Rest and be Thankful, Transport Scotland, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, has identified the requirement to appoint multi-disciplinary Consultants to develop a scheme to provide a long term, resilient improvement to the trunk road network at this location. Some corridor sifting and baseline route options work has been completed and is available to view at Access to Argyll and Bute (A83) (transport.gov.scot). The consultant is required to provide Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) scheme assessment work, assist in the promotion of the statutory consents and the procurement of contracting services. The consultant is required to provide site supervision services. Transport Scotland wishes to address current accessibility issues in the corridor as quickly as possible and the consultant will be required to advise on methods to shorten the development and promotion process. In addition, an interim proportionate route is also required to be delivered to provide additional resilience whilst the long term scheme is being developed. Again some options development and scoping is underway and the consultant may be required to develop this work into a deliverable scheme to a short timeframe. The Consultant shall provide and perform the Services as instructed by the Employer that may include: (i) overall management of the Scheme; (ii) undertaking engineering, environmental assessment and transport modelling and assessment of the impacts on the trunk road, local road and public transport of the Scheme; (iii) assessment of buildability and health and safety aspects of any Specimen Design(s); (iv) development of and delivery of the Scheme programme; (v) preparation and maintenance of Scheme and Project cost estimates; (vi) preparation of statutory consents documentation and support at any inquiry or hearing. (vii) preparation of procurement documents and contract documents for constructor(s) for the Scheme or parts of the Scheme, assisted as relevant by other specialist consultant(s) or specialist organisation(s) appointed for the Scheme or part of the Scheme; (viii) acting as the Engineer or Employer's Representative as relevant during the construction phase(s) of the Scheme or parts of the Scheme. 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 and the actual work packages to be included in the contract 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 a Single Procurement Document (SPD), which can be downloaded via the Public Contracts Scotland portal (www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk). It is anticipated that a total of 5 economic operators will be invited to tender stage..
