Other Information

Full breakdown of technical criteria weighting can be found within the technical envelope. The quality criteria will be scored out of 100 and tenderers will receive a pro-rated score out of 90. 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. TUPE – The incoming Contractor is responsible for obtaining legal and professional advice about relevant TUPE implications. CONFIDENTIALITY - All information supplied by the Authority must be treated in confidence and not disclosed to third parties except insofar as this is necessary to obtain sureties or quotations for the purpose of submitting the tender. All information supplied by you to the Authority will similarly be treated in confidence except: (i) for any information required to be disclosed or otherwise provided by the Authority to any person in order to comply with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and any codes of practice applicable from time to time relating to access to public authorities’ information. The Tenderer shall co-operate, facilitate, support and assist the Authority in the provision of this information. In the event the Authority is required to provide information to any person as a result of a request made to it under such Act and/or codes, the Authority shall adhere to the requirements of such Act and/or codes in disclosing information relating to this Agreement, the Project documents and the Contractor. (ii) that references may be sought from banks, existing or past clients, or other referees submitted by the tenderers; (iii) for the disclosure of such information with regard to the outcome of the procurement process as may be required to be published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with EU directives or elsewhere in accordance with the requirements of UK government policy on the disclosure of information relating to government contracts. There is a maximum of 20% available to be achieved from the presentation required as part of the technical evaluation. Invites will be issued to those tenderers who have a total number of points within 20% of the best score, at that point. Therefore, any tenderer not within 20% before the presentations take place will be unable to win and therefore will not be invited. These tenderers will take no further part in the tender process. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 26988. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-pr... A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: West Lothian Council is committed to maximising Community Benefits from its procurement activities. Under this procurement, the contractor, and its supply chain, will be required to support the authority’s economic, social and environmental objectives relating to participation in skills development, training and employment initiatives and other value-added contributions. Accordingly, contract performance conditions may relate in particular to social, economic and environmental considerations. While the Community Benefits Information will in no way be scored beyond the requirement that it is included in the bidder’s Tender Submission, if the Community Benefits Information contains any Community Benefits, these will be accepted by the Authority via the contract variation process and will be enforceable as part of the contract. Accordingly, where a contract is awarded to a bidder whose Tender Submission included Community Benefits, the bidder will be required to deliver those Community Benefits as part of the contract.
