Description

In 2019, Police Scotland launched its new Fleet Strategy. This 10 year plan sets out the process that the Authority will adhere to in replacing its 3,400 fossil fuel driven fleet with electric vehicles (EVs). As well as purchase of these vehicles, we will also need to implement onsite charging infrastructure in line with the growth of our new electric fleet. In conjunction, Police Scotland is also implementing an Environmental Sustainability Strategy (ESS) in order to improve resource use efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emission in line with our duties as a Public Body. Police Scotland is interested in how this new ESS can influence the transition to EVs by providing as much electricity as possible to charging points from onsite renewable sources. In light of this, we require a contractor to support us in reviewing our Estate to identify sites suitable for photovoltaic installation, create detailed designs and installation tender specification as well as installer selection and quality check of resultant installation.

Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** Extension Request to allow bidders to review clarification responses that were published prior to the Q&A Deadline: QUESTION Thank you for the clarification response confirming that a liability cap will be acceptable (received 12/7/2021). We note that a previous response was issued to the question "...would you consider including an equitable limit of liability..." on 25/6/21 which indicated that a liability cap would not be acceptable ie "Bidders are required to accept the published terms contained within the ITT" Ourselves, and potentially other bidders, ceased work on the bid following the response of 25/6/21 as a limit of liability is a condition of many industry standard insurance requirements. We have followed up with a number of further questions to seek clarification without success. We would therefore request an extension of time of the period lost (2 weeks). ANSWER ALL clarifications that was submitted to the Authority prior to the Q&A deadline were responded to in full in a timely manner. The Q&A Deadline has now passed, bidder had from tender publication 1st June 2021 until 12 noon 9th July to review the tender documents and submit any clarifications. No further extension will be permitted to the Q&A Deadline, 39 days is more than sufficient. The Authority accepts the change to liability under the terms and conditions may have changed a bidders intention to bid for this contract opportunity - therefore we have extended the tender deadline until 12 noon, 28th July 2021 to provide more time to review clarification responses that have been published and for bidders to update their response should the clarifications impact them. No further tender extensions will be permitted.
