Further information about the project can be found at www.portsmouthmotorpark.co.uk ↗.
The contract is being procured under the restricted procedure in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
The procurement process leading to the award of the contract will comprise the following stages:
- SPD stage
- ITT stage
- Contract award stage
The procurement documents being issued at the SPD stage include: (1) an SPD document (to be completed and returned); (2) an SPD guidance document (the SPD Guidance); and (3) the draft contract.
To participate in the procurement, economic operators must submit a completed SPD document in accordance with this Contract Notice and the instructions in the SPD Guidance.
The form of contract will be JCT D&B Contract 2024 with amendments. The Council is issuing the draft contract at the SPD stage to ensure that economic operators are informed as early as possible of the proposed terms, which include a performance bond. In the ITT stage, the shortlisted bidders will be required to submit their tender based on a contract substantially the same as the draft issued. Economic operators should therefore carefully review the draft contract when deciding whether to participate.
The successful bidder will be required to register with the Avetta approved supplier system prior to entering into the contract (if not already registered). Further detail of the approved supplier system and registration process is contained in the SPD Guidance and accompanying documents. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
