The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1Following publication of the Contract Notice, a Single Procurement Document (SPD) will…AwardedRenewal
Following publication of the Contract Notice, a Single Procurement Document (SPD) will be published by SPS and will be made available to bidders, along with SPS' supporting guidance document.
Following the evaluation of the SPD, shortlisted bidders will be provided with an Invitation to Tender (ITT). Tender responses will then be evaluated by SPS.
SPS is using an e-Tendering System for this procurement exercise. The system is called Public Contract Scotland-Tender (PCS-T) and can be accessed via the Procurement Contracts Scotland (PCS) website. All documentation, including the SPD (Scotland), is only available in electronic form and can be accessed via your web browser.
Bidders are required to complete the Online Qualification and Technical SPD (Scotland) Questionnaire on PCS-T.

SPD Question 2.2 Key Personnel - Manpower (40%)
SPD Question 2.3 Quality Assurance (10%)
SPD Question 2.4 Project Experience (30%)
SPD Question 2.5 Methodology (20%)
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “SPS-02002 Framework Agreement for the Provision of a Quantity…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
