Total Quantity or Scope

You are invited to tender for the supply and installation of replacement boiler burners at the University of Edinburgh’s George Square Energy Centre, Charles Street Lane, Edinburgh, EH8 9AD. The University of Edinburgh intends to award a Contract on behalf of (and therefore in the name of) its wholly owned subsidiary, UOE Estates Services Company Limited (Company Number SC165964) for the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning and set to work of the replacement boiler burners, including a 12 month defects period on the new boiler burners. The terms and conditions of the SBCC Standard Building Contract Without Quantities (SBC/XQ/Scot), 2016 Edition, incorporating Amendment 1, February 2018, will apply. This procurement will be conducted via the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal (PCS-T). We will apply a one stage Accelerated Open procedure. Bidders must self-certify their adherence to the conditions of participation via the SPD (Scotland) in PSC-T. Bidders must refer to the specific requirements listed in the Section III in this Contract Notice when completing the SPD in PCS-T. Bidders should note that these are mandatory pass/fail requirements and that failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process. Each Bidder passing the Minimum Standards will then be subject to a technical and commercial evaluation. Bidders will be required to confirm they can meet the requirements and specification detailed within the Statement of Requirements within the Invitation to Tender, Bidders will be required to provide a full product specification. Failure to confirm and demonstrate this in their responses to the technical questions will result in the Bidder being automatically excluded. The University of Edinburgh reserves the right to apply their own judgement based on experience from similar contracts to determine if the response is feasible. If Bidders knowingly cannot fulfil this, they should discontinue this application. A 50% technical threshold will apply - bids will be required to achieve a minimum total overall technical score of 10% or more out of the maximum of 20%. A Bidder who fails to achieve the technical threshold will be excluded from the commercial tender evaluation and shall take no further part in the tender evaluation process. Commercial scores shall be allocated on a comparative basis with the lowest overall price receiving full marks and others a percentage of that mark according to the difference between their bid and the lowest offer. Where we consider any of the total price(s) you have submitted to be abnormally low we will ask you to explain the price(s) you have submitted (as required in regulation 69 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015). The quality and commercial score will be combined to give each Bidder, who has passed the technical threshold, an overall total score. The supplier with the highest total score will be deemed to have provided the most economical advantageous tender (MEAT). Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
