Due to delays in the supply chain, estimated arrival time of the new lease equipment is April 2024 so the current contracts are required to be extended to cover this period. Options: 1 x 6 month extension ### Procurement Information Due to the limited availability in the market of all warehouse mechanical handling equipment required and as a procurement process is underway, a direct award under regulation 33(1) (C) is proposed. The procurement process to put in place a long term contract in this area has been delayed due the requirement to meet the additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the current Covid-19 pandemic and is for reasons of extreme urgency brought about by events unforeseeable by the contracting authority in line with Regulation 33(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP487410 | | Notice type | OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Feb 2022 | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £570,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE COMMON SERVICES AGENCY (MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS NHS NATIONAL SERVICES SCOTLAND) ("NSS") | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH12 9EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Drum Brae/Gyle | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South West | | Delivery location | TLM Scotland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | LOTHIAN MECHANICAL HANDLING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 42 - Industrial machinery ### Codes - 42418500 - Mechanical handling equipment ## Release History - 4 Sep 2023 at 00:00 - AwardUpdate - OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP487410 - 26 Apr 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR446869 - 12 Apr 2022 at 00:00 - Award - OJEU - F15 - Voluntary Ex Ante Transparency Notice - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR445905 ## Documents - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR445905 Warehouse Mechanical Handling Equipment (Titan Warehouse) - Short term hire of mechanical handling equipment while procurement process is undertaken to award a long term agreement for this requirement. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR446869 Warehouse Mechanical Handling Equipment (Titan Warehouse) - Short term hire of mechanical handling equipment while procurement process is undertaken to award a long term agreement for this requirement. - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP487410 Warehouse Mechanical Handling Equipment (Titan Warehouse) ## Notice URLs - http:// - http://www.nss.nhs.scot/browse/procurement-and-logistics - https://api.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/v1/Notice?id=ocds-r6ebe6-0000683333 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
