Tenderers must pass the minimum standards sections of the SPD (Scotland). Part 3, sections B, C and D of Part 4 will be scored on a pass/fail basis on the Qualification Envelope. Part 4C of the Technical Envelope will be scored questions.

Publisher note: CFL's Conditions of Contract will be published with the ITT document. Please note the following has been removed from SPD document: 2A Lots; 4B.1.2, 4B.2.2 & 4B.4 Economic and Financial Standing; 4E Global Question. Economic Operators should note that the conditions of the procurement include (but are not limited to) the following: -The eligibility requirements in this Contract Notice will apply to the procurement at all times. Economic Operators may be excluded from this competition if the Economic Operator no longer meets the selection criteria set out in the Contract Notice at any stage during the competition and/or there is a change in identity, control, financial standing or other factor impacting on the selection process affecting the Economic Operator; -CFL is subject to the requirements of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004. Accordingly, all information submitted to CFL may need to be disclosed and/or published by it in response to a request under FOISA or the EIRs; -Economic Operators will remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them in connection. CFL will not be liable to reimburse or compensate any costs incurred in connection with an Economic Operator’s participation in this competition, including any costs or other liability in respect of the cancellation of the process. CFL reserves the right not to award a contract pursuant to this procurement and to cancel the procurement at any point without liability. Tenderers should note that CFL intends to ask questions at the ITT stage, these questions form a small part within a broader question base. The award criteria questions and weightings will be published in the ITT. Tenderers will be expected to demonstrate capability. These ITT questions shall be grouped as either belonging to mandatory Pass/Fail type questions or questions which shall be scored and weighted. Where a supplier has been assessed to have failed a Pass/Fail question their tender submission shall be deemed non-compliant and excluded from that point forward. Questions in the ITT will be scored using the following methodology: 100 - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full. 75 - Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirement will be fulfilled. 50 - Response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas. 25 - Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 0 - Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement. Award Criteria questions can be found in the ITT together with the weightings. COMPETITIVE PROCEDURE WITH NEGOTIATION EXPLANATION - Competitive Procedure with Negotiation (CPN) this is a two-stage procedure run in a similar way to a Restricted procedure. This requires interested parties to complete a pre-qualification stage by submitting a Single Procurement Document (SPD) before being invited to submit a tender. This down selection process allows CFL to limit the number of parties receiving the full tender and moving forward to the negotiation phase(s). The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 6161. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 (SC Ref:731213)
