Technical requirements: Scape Procure Scotland Ltd was open to receiving responses from consortia, joint ventures, strategic alliances and other such arrangements, however such organisations were required to form a single entity to contract with prior to the award of the contract and provide appropriate guarantees and security packages commensurate with the works/services. The specific works and services that may be procured under the framework cannot be clearly defined at this stage, however the nature and types of works that may be required may include those services identified by CPV code on or in connection with any land or property and related asset owned, rented, leased or developed by any of the public sector bodies eligible to use the Framework or on property or related assets in which any of the public sector bodies may have an interest at the time or prospectively and may include projects in the following sectors, amongst others:— education, housing, social care, leisure, libraries, blue light, health and social care, offices, transport, military, farms, recycling and waste centres, industrial and commercial buildings and other public sector operational buildings and establishments.
The provider will be expected to work closely and cooperate with local government and other contracting authorities, in-house and external design consultants, contractors and other partner providers. All contract performance will be monitored using a set of comprehensive performance indicators.
Scape recognises the considerable investment in infrastructure, equipment and people, process and systems required to create and manage the expert, local and responsive supply chains to operate this framework. An initial term of 48 months will only be extended by 24 months in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the procurement documentation.
This Framework Agreement will be accessible for use by public sector bodies (their statutory successors), corporations established, or a group of individuals appointed to act together as defined by Part 1 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or cited by name in Schedule 1 to the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 and online at: https://www.scapegroup.co.uk/site-information/framework-usage-eligibility
Note: This is a Modification Notice. The opportunity has already been awarded. The description was originally published in the Contract Notice Publication reference: 2020/S 193-467831. The CPV codes used within the original notice still apply. The only modification this notice introduces is the value band range changing from 0 - 7.5m GBP to the new range of 0 - 10m GBP.
Scape recognises the considerable investment in infrastructure, equipment and people, process and systems required to create and manage the expert, local and responsive supply chains to operate this framework. An initial term of 48 months will only be extended by 24 months in accordance with the terms and conditions as set out in the procurement documentation.
Due to unforeseen increase in inflation globally it has become apparent that proposed projects are more expensive than originally estimated and no longer align with Framework value bands. We therefore intend to vary the value bands increasing these using BCIS indices under the existing National Construction Framework through a Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 permitted modification. The overall Framework value will not be altered, and no other changes will be made.
No extra works are needed. A change of contractor will not ensure the Framework is delivered as awarded. Projects intended to fit within certain value bands no longer fit within these due to increased inflation. Modifying will allow projects to be allocated to value bands as originally intended at award. This is a permitted modification; the inflation increase was unforeseen; the Framework’s overall nature will not alter and the increase will not be 50% or more of the original Framework value.
