developing the use of Constructionline and CHAS Registration as part of their
pre qualification requirements for consultants applying for property related
construction works. The initiative intends to avoid repetitive requests for
general information at pre qualification stage. However, the Council cannot
insist on Constructionline Registration and must allow non registered
contractors to be assessed to an equal standard - CHAS or equal and approved
registration will be required within six months of appointment to the
framework. The Fee Offer Documents
will be issued to short-listed consultants in February 2010. It is
anticipated that the successful consultants will be appointed in March /April
2010. Award criteria will
ultimately be by further evaluation of Fee Offers from the short-listed
consultants carried out on a price/quality basis. Details of the evaluation
criteria and weighting will be included in the Invitation To Tender
documentation. Companies should note
that the tendering exercises will be conducted via the eProcurement Scotland
Electronic Tendering System in respect of which full instructions and
guidance will be provided to companies responding. As such, the e-mail
address of the person to whom Fee Offer documentation should be issued
electronically and who will return the Fee Offer documentation will be
required as part of the expression of interest. Completed questionnaires may
also be returned in hard copy, using the address label provided. The Council
will analyse the responses to the PQQ in accordance with Regulations 23, 24,
25 and 26 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, to identify
those Applicants that have the economic and financial standing and technical
or professional ability to deliver the project. Rejection shall be automatic
unless the potential bidder is able to demonstrate business, technical, and
financial capacity and propriety in respect of all of these requirements in
relation to the provision of services forming the subject of the potential
bidder’s expression of interest. Closing date for receipt of completed
PQQs is Friday 8th January 2010 at 12 noon. Submissions made after
this time and date will not be considered. Collabarative
arrangements: Highlands and Islands
Fire and Rescue Service shall be able to purchase from any part of this
Framework if desired and Northern Constabulary shall be able to purchase
certain disciplines not covered by their existing framework. There is however
no guarantee of any Consultancy being purchased by either of these named
authorities. (SC Ref:181298). VI.4) PROCEDURES FOR APPEAL VI.4.1) Body responsible for
