Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents.
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SCAPE Scotland Construction Works and Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

- Performance terms
SCAPE Scotland will include a set of performance measures in the framework agreement and these will be used to manage the performance of the supplier, set improvement targets and drive continuous improvement. These will be the minimum indicators and other measures may be offered by bidders as part of their ITT. Performance against these indicators will be reviewed with the successful bidder at regular review meetings, together with the comparative performance that will enable benchmarking against:
— other companies engaged in SCAPE Scotland frameworks or other frameworks,
— the overall performance of all SCAPE Scotland frameworks or other frameworks,
— national performance measures where they are available.
The successful bidder will be required to collate and submit their own performance data in accordance with the performance management requirements set out in the contract. Any revised details, if applicable, will be available in the ITT.
Publisher note: In compliance with procurement regulations, a draft of both the ITT and the contract is issued at this stage for information only, although these are substantially complete. The content is under review and may change when the final draft is issued at the conclusion of the 1st stage to those invited to tender. SCAPE Scotland will not enter into any discussions regarding these draft documents or answer any questions on the content of these documents at the 1st stage. Shortlisted bidders will have opportunity to ask clarification questions on the tender documentation during the ITT stage. SCAPE Scotland uses the Delta sourcing eTendering web portal for their procurements and this system will be used for communication, hosting procurement documentation, the SPD, and to manage the Tender stage once commenced. To access this opportunity and the tender documents, potential suppliers will be required to register for free on Delta (www.delta-esourcing.com ). Once registered, potential suppliers will be able to access the opportunity by going to the Response Manager and providing the Delta Access Code: RC53GXZEX4 Potential suppliers should read this notice carefully and in full. SCAPE Scotland recognises that, as a national framework, it requires considerable investment in people, processes, and systems to create and manage expert, local, and responsive supply chains. With this is mind, the four (4) year framework has the option to be extended by a further two (2) years for a maximum framework duration of six (6) years. A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract.

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: Community benefit requirements will be included in this contract. The successful bidder(s) will be required to deliver benefits proportionate to the call‑off contract that support the authority’s social, economic, and environmental objectives. Examples may include (but are not limited to): employability and skills initiatives such as traineeships, apprenticeships and work placements; support for local SMEs and social enterprises through capacity‑building workshops; innovation and knowledge transfer activities; and environmental volunteering.
