Technical requirements: The purpose of this tender process is to award 2 national contracts for the provision of branded work wear, 1 for Forestry and Land Scotland and one for Scottish Forestry staff throughout Scotland.
We are looking for a design led managed service for work wear which is “fit for purpose” for the roles and activities undertaken by the organisation’s staff and ensures staff are identifiable and can proudly represent the organisations when in contact with the public.
Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) will operate primarily on a commercial basis, including the production and sale of timber, and its land management responsibilities will include renewable energy, agriculture, community projects, conservation, recreation and tourism. This work is currently carried out by Forestry Enterprise Scotland,an agency of the Forestry Commission and will transfer to FLS when it is established on 1.4.2019.
This lot is for the provision of branded work wear for FLS staff. Products include but are not limited to; waterproof jackets and trousers, polo shirts, fleeces, trousers, and some accessories. The purpose of this contract is to provide a suitable outfit for staff to provide protection from external environments and represent the FLS Brand. Therefore supplier must provide the full range of required products as detailed in the specification.
The contract opportunity is for a 5 year contract with the option to extend for 2 further 2 year periods (4 year extension in total).
The bidders response to the ESPD will be assessed during Stage 1 of this competitive procedure with negotiation process. The mandatory requirements and exclusion grounds are detailed in this Contract Notice and in the evaluation and award criteria document. The ESPD selection questions within the technical envelope in PCS-T will be evaluated to short list bidders to invite to tender (second stage). The questions are weighted as follows and total 100 % of the stage 1 evaluation:
Based on the evaluation panel’s assessment the three highest scoring suitable bidders will be shortlisted for invitation to tender. Where a tie occurs for third position, then all Bidders in that position will be shortlisted. For the purposes of this exercise a tie will be deemed to have occurred, where 2 or more bidders have identical total scores.
The second and third stage shall be evaluated on quality and price as detailed in this contract notice and the subsequent tender documents.
During the contract, FLS may decide to add to, upgrade and/or adapt its work wear requirements to take advantage of new technologies, ensure products give staff optimal functionality when carrying out their roles, and to compliment and reflect the organisations vision, policies and commitments. Any additional items not listed will be reviewed by mutual agreement and subject to a written variation of contract.
Economic operators will 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.
