It is anticipated that the new tender will be published in mid-late summer with contracts awarded in January 2022. In order to best inform the FLS approach to the future procurement of these services, it is essential that FLS understand the size, scope, capacity, and future aspirations of the marketplace. FLS are therefore looking to both existing and potential suppliers to provide valuable insight into the services you can offer, your capacity, preferred work locations, preferred pricing mechanisms and more. The information you can provide is vital to our considerations as to how FLS move forward in delivering these requirements, and develop a strategic approach to delivery of these services.

The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 19866. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: It will be encouraged for prime contractors to advertise sub-contracting opportunities via PCS, however it will not be mandated as use of PCS to advertise sub-contracting opportunities is not intended to cut across supply chain arrangements that the prime contractor may already have in place. The PIN responses and sub-contracting pattern have evidenced an established sub-contracting network. Whilst it does represent best practice, use of PCS in this instance is unlikely to add any additional value and may delay mobilisation. Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: Delivery of Community Benefits is mandatory for this contract. FLS is looking for a supplier who, in carrying out their obligations under this contract, will bring benefit to the local and broader Scottish community in compliance with FLS Requirement. The mandatory benefits which FLS expect through this contract are: Employment; and Community Engagement. In addition to the mandatory Community Benefits, bidders must present a community benefit proposal with their tender detailing how, in the event that they should be successful in winning the contract, they will further address any Community Benefits.
