Deer & Other Wildlife Management Dynamic Purchasing System
Authority: Forestry and Land Scotland (Central government)
What is being bought10 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionFLS is establishing a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Deer & Other Wildlife Management across SNFL.
A Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) is an electronic system established by a contracting authority to purchase commonly used goods, works or services in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Admittance to a DPS gives participants the opportunity to subsequently bid for relevant future opportunities which are procured through the DPS.
The purpose of the DPS is to provide a compliant route to market for FLS to replace Deer & Other Wildlife Management contracts which have been terminated due to contract failure or to replace contracts upon their expiration. This DPS will not be used as a route to market for any other reason.
The scope of the DPS is primarily for deer culling. The culling of feral pig, feral goat and feral sheep is required on an opportunistic basis only. FLS reserves the right to deliver or procure a targeted feral pig, feral goat and/or feral sheep cull.
- Recurrence: DPS validity period will be for 5 years with optional extension 5 x 12-month extensions. A retender would need to be published within 12 months before the planned end date.

Publisher note: Where the Bidder relies on the capacities of other entities (i.e. subcontractors and/or consortium members) to meet the selection criteria, they must provide a separate SPD for each of those entities. In the event that a Bidder alters its composition during the procurement process (which shall include, but is not limited to, a change in the identity of any entity named in the response whose capacity has been relied upon in responding to the Instructions to Bidders), FLS reserves the right to request that any proposed reconstituted Bidder complete the Qualification Envelope, i.e. Business Probity, Criminal Convictions and Financial Standing for re-evaluation in accordance with the criteria used in relation to the evaluation of the original response. --- The Supplier Development Programme will be hosting an Aligned Tender Training webinar during the SPD submission period for this DPS. The event will take place from 10:30am-12:00pm on 17th April 2024. During the webinar, the Supplier Development Programme will demonstrate how to access the SPD and all DPS attachments through PCS-T. They will also explain how to use the Q&A functionality through PCS-T to communicate with FLS during the tender process and demonstrate how to upload attachments through the system. Attendance at the webinar is optional. The webinar is accessible through the following link: https://www.sdpscotland.co.uk/events/forestry-and-land-scotland-fls-dynamic-purchasing-system-for-deer-other-wildlife-management-1701/ --- DPS Stage 2 award criteria: Health & Safety Cull Achievement Contract Management Animal Welfare Carcass Transportation Terrain & Weather Team Composition Public Interaction Conflicting Operations Subcontracting Delivery Team Fair Work Practices Community Benefits Living Wage The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this PQQ exercise. The Project code is 26299. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2343 The Contracting Authority does not intend to include a sub-contract clause as part of community benefits (as per Section 25 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014) in this contract for the following reason: Most of the supply base are micro businesses, and the application of the Sub-contract clause may deter contractors from bidding for requirements. Contractors who intend to sub-contract out any portion of the services of a Contract will be required to provide a sub-contractor SPDs for all proposed sub-contractors. The acceptance of any subcontractor(s) will be subject to the approval of FLS. Community benefits are included in this requirement. For more information see: https://www.gov.scot/policies/public-sector-procurement/community-benefits-in-procurement/ A summary of the expected community benefits has been provided as follows: As requirements to be tendered through the DPS are unknown at this stage, Community Benefits will be expected to be delivered once a contract is awarded through a Stage 2 Tender. The Community Benefits to be delivered under contracts awarded through the DPS will be proportionate to the total awarded annual contract value of the contractor. The delivery of community benefits will be based on a points system. This system is outlined in the Appendix A - Specification document on PCS-T. (SC Ref:760055)
