Technical requirements: The Scottish Courts and Tribunals Service (SCTS) together with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service (COPFS), are seeking to establish a framework for the appointment of Principal Contractors to deliver Building Refurbishment works and projects.
The properties are diverse, located throughout mainland Scotland and its Islands, encompassing various sizes and range of ages from very old listed buildings to more modern structures.
Due to the age of the Estate and the changing use of the courts and tribunals, an annual refurbishment programme is managed by the Property Services Unit within SCTS with requirements spanning the entire spectrum of construction disciplines and services.
Objective of this Framework is to support the successful delivery of building refurbishment and construction related projects across SCTS, COPFS and HMCTS property portfolios. This objective is directly aligned with the strategic priority of ‘A Well Managed Estate’.
If required by the member state, bidders are required to be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade registers within the country in which they are established.
For UK based organisations, bidders must provide a copy of their Certificate of Incorporation. For non-UK based companies, please refer to Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
Bidders will be required to have a minimum ‘general’ yearly turnover of 4 000 000 GBP for the last 3 years.
This is based on a maximum of 50 % (annual contract value to turnover with equal distribution across 3 Framework Contractors) considered acceptable within risk appetite. Bidders will not be discounted solely on basis of turnover if financial strength and capacity can be sufficiently demonstrated across other measures in this section.
Bidders are required to achieve an ‘Acceptable’ score in line with criteria stated in the procurement documents for each of the questions in section C in order to qualify.
The expectation is that successful Contractors will be able to demonstrate the following in the response to this question:
— Examples demonstrate breadth of strong delivery capability in contracts of a similar size and scale
It is the expectation that a robust system/process is in place to regulate and manage activities throughout the supply chain, including subcontracted elements.
Successful Contractors will hold, or be able obtain in advance of contract award, accreditation to the following bodies (or equivalent):
— CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) or similar that meets HSE's Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) standard.
