Total Quantity or Scope

The University of Edinburgh has a requirement to establish contracting arrangements for a single supplier to provide maintenance services and reactive work for Air Conditioning Units and systems that are spread throughout the University’s Estate. The contract covers approximately 1892 No. Air Conditioners located in buildings across the five University campuses. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) may apply to this contract. Details will be provided at ITT stage. It is proposed this procurement will be conducted through the use of the Restricted Procedure. The evaluation process shall be as follows. Stage 1 - Pre-Qualification via the submission of the completed SPD (Scotland). Bidders must pass the minimum standards (pass/fail) sections of the SPD (Scotland). These can be found within the qualification envelope of PCS-T. Statements detailing the specific requirements can be found within Section III 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3 of the Contract Notice. Bidders must complete the technical envelope in PCS-T. Specific statements detailing the requirement can be found within Section III 1.3 of the Contract Notice. SPD Technical Envelope Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example, if a question is weighted 10% and your submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then you will receive 7.5% out of a possible 10%. A 50% minimum threshold will apply, whereby only bidders achieving a total score greater or equal to 50% for their responses to the SPD scored questions will be considered for shortlisting. The top five Bidders based on the scored questions will be invited to submit a bid in response to the subsequent Invitation to Tender (ITT). Where the number of bidders meeting the selection criteria is below the minimum number, the University may continue the procedure by inviting the candidates with the required capabilities. In any event, the number of candidates invited shall be sufficient to ensure genuine competition at ITT stage. Stage 2 - Invitation to Tender (ITT). The University will evaluate all shortlisted bidders’ ITT submissions via undertaking a Technical and Commercial evaluation. The ITT will be weighted at 70% Technical and 30% Commercial. The weightings of each technical question will be detailed within the ITT. Technical Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example, if a question is weighted 10% and your submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then you will receive 7.5% out of a possible 10%. For the Commercial evaluation, the Bidder who submits the lowest-cost bid will be awarded the maximum score and others will be awarded a pro rata score in relation to the lowest bid. The technical and commercial scores will then be combined to give each bidder an overall total score and to calculate the winning bidder.
