Lot Information

Lot 1

To supplement our in-house resources Crown Estate Scotland (CES) wish to appoint a consultant to support our Energy & Infrastructure Team with the data handling tasks critical to the effective management of our tenants' marine survey data and associated documents uploaded to the Marine Data Exchange (MDE). The MDE is a digital platform and a data management system developed by Crown Estate (TCE) in 2013 to store, manage and disseminate offshore survey data collected by our tenants throughout the lifetime of a project. It also holds research outputs from evidence programmes such as the Offshore Wind Evidence and Change programme. CES has recently entered a partnership with TCE to use MDE for the collection of its tenants' marine survey data. The requirement is for a company with a small team of professionals, who are, ideally, familiar with marine data management standards and offshore survey data to provide data management, insights, and research support during the term of the appointment, in accordance with agreed standards, methodologies and deadlines. Standard tasks will include carrying out the MDE's Quality Assurance process, creation of Data Highlights and Insights, creation, and management of the MDE series extents (a record of the spatial footprint of the surveys we hold), and on occasion the preparation, validation and upload of survey data and associated discovery standard metadata (further details within the accompanying documentation).

Renewal: The initial contract will be for a period of 2 years with the option to extend for a further period of up to 2 years (2 x 12 months extensions) subject to satisfactory financial and contractual performance.

The MDE is a digital platform and a data management system developed by Crown Estate (TCE) in 2013 to store, manage and disseminate offshore survey data collected by our tenants throughout the lifetime of a project. It also holds research outputs from evidence programmes such as the Offshore Wind Evidence and Change programme. CES has recently entered a partnership with TCE to use MDE for the collection of its tenants' marine survey data. The requirement is for a company with a small team of professionals, who are, ideally, familiar with marine data management standards and offshore survey data to provide data management, insights, and research support during the term of the appointment, in accordance with agreed standards, methodologies and deadlines. Standard tasks will include carrying out the MDE's Quality Assurance process, creation of Data Highlights and Insights, creation, and management of the MDE series extents (a record of the spatial footprint of the surveys we hold), and on occasion the preparation, validation and upload of survey data and associated discovery standard metadata (further details within the accompanying documentation).",

Other Economic or Financial Requirements Crown Estate Scotland will utilise Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) Failure Score of 30 or above. Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Failure Score of 30 or above in order to demonstrate its financial strength and stability. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a D&B Failure Score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the D&B Failure Score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability. Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a D&B Failure Score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 3 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that Crown Estate Scotland may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size. Where a Tenderer does not meet the minimum financial requirements in its own right and wishes to rely on the financial standing of a parent company, Tenderers should provide a statement that they commit to obtaining a parent company guarantee in the form attached in the Standard Documents Parent Company Guarantee. Where a consortium bid is received, the D&B Failure Score of each consortium member shall be assessed and each must achieve a D&B failure score of 30 or above. Where a sub-contractor material to the performance of the Contract or where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer may be required to confirm that the sub-contractor(s) has a D&B failure score of 30 or above. Crown Estate Scotland reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractor last 3 financial years' audited accounts and details of significant changes since the last financial year end."
