Other Information

The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 20986. 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: Similar to the award of a standard Framework or DPS, it is accepted that it is difficult to achieve any meaningful Community Benefits (CB’s) via the award of a PSA due to the absence of any guarantee of spend, volume or duration. Where services of a significant value in any category are procured via mini tender, Community Benefit requirements may be included as part of the Technical evaluation. Where they are not however included and in instances where Direct Award is used as the method of procurement, the undernoted process will apply: On the anniversary of each year of the PSA when actual expenditure is known, the Provider will be required to deliver CB’s in the following year to the value of the points conversant to their income in the previous year using the matrix provided within the tender, which is based upon the allocation of CB points to overall value.
