In the event of the conclusion of the tender process, it is the intention that a Framework Agreement will be entered into between the Scottish Ministers and the most economically advantageous tenderers. It is proposed that Market Engagement Sessions will be held online. Lot 1 - 27 January 10:00 to 11:00, Lot 2 - 28 Jan 10:00 to 11:00, Lot 3 - 29 Jan 10:00 to 11:00, Lot 4 - 30 Jan 10:00 to 11:00. Attendance is restricted to two representatives per company at each session and to facilitate admission to the event, the names of proposed attendees should be emailed in advance to the contact person for this market engagement - (latis@transport.gov.scot). The intention of the Information Sessions is to enable potential suppliers to better understand the scope of the contract and the procurement process, such that a productive procurement competition can be achieved. Transport Scotland encourages SMEs, Third Sector organisations and Supported Businesses to participate in bidding for the framework. Transport Scotland will manage this process in an open and transparent manner to maximise the possible benefits. Participation or non-participation at this Information Session will not preclude suppliers or cause advantage/disadvantage to any supplier's ability to participate in this procurement. Transport Scotland and the Scottish Ministers shall have no liability for any costs however incurred by those attending the online Information Session, attendance at subsequent meetings, or involvement in the procurement competition. Direct or indirect canvassing of any Transport Scotland official concerning this procurement, or any attempt to procure information from any Transport Scotland official concerning this Prior Information Notice (PIN) outside of the formal process described in this document may result in the disqualification of the supplier from this procurement, and consideration in any future procurement activity.
