Lot Information

Lot 1

PURCH2600 Framework Agreement for the Provision of Legal Services for the period of 3 years with the option to extend 3 x 12 months. Although this procurement is being conducted under the Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN), in accordance with Regulation 30 of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (the Regulations), it is structured differently from a typical CPN process, where only shortlisted bidders are invited to tender. This approach has been adopted to enhance the efficiency of evaluating supplier responses across both stages (SPD and ITT). Despite this structure, the process will remain transparent, ensuring equal treatment and fairness for all bidders, in line with the principles of procurement set out in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. To clarify, the University intends to: - Seek initial bids as part of the submission of requests to participate/SPD returns at Stage 0. - Apply a minimum pass/fail threshold of 70% on the total SPD score. Only bids from bidders who successfully progress to Stage 1 will be opened and evaluated. Bidders who are unsuccessful at Stage 0 will be notified, and their initial bids will not be considered or opened. - Bidders are required to submit their SPD Capability responses and their ITT Technical responses as two separate documents. Any bids not submitted in this format will not be considered for evaluation.

Renewal: with the option to extend 3 x 12 months.
