Lot details

Lot 1

The University of Edinburgh has a requirement to establish contracting arrangements with a single supplier to provide fully comprehensive maintenance for Trend building energy management system (BEMS), including replacement works and planned upgrade works, throughout the University’s estate. This procurement will be conducted via the Public Contracts Scotland - Tender portal (PCS-T). It is proposed this procurement will be conducted through the use of the Open Procedure. The evaluation will be contain three stages as follows. Stage 1 - the SPD (Scotland) will include a series of Minimum Standards in relation to mandatory and discretionary criteria which govern the public sector and this specific requirement. These are pass/fail requirements and failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process. In addition, project specific technical minimum standards apply. Each Bidder passing the Minimum Standards will then be subject to a technical and commercial evaluation. Stage 2 - Technical questions are allocated a total weighting of 80 percent. Scores shall be allocated based on the total percentage achieved by the response out of the maximum possible percentage. This takes into account the score out of 4 and the weighting allocated to individual questions. For example if a question is weighted 10 percent and the submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then the score achieved will be 7.5 percent out of a possible 10 percent. Bidders will be required to achieve a minimum score of 50 percent (40 percent after technical weightings are applied) or more of the technical score. Each supplier achieving a score greater or equal to 50 percent will only then progress through to the commercial evaluation. Stage 3 - Commercial (Price) shall be allocated a total weighting of 20 percent. The bidder who submits the lowest price will be awarded the maximum score for the associated cost area, and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid. Both Technical and Commercial scores will be added together at the end of the evaluation process to calculate the most economically advantageous tender, to be recommended as the winning bidder.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 71. The category anchor is Energy-management services (71314200); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Bidders will be required to achieve a minimum score of 50 percent (40 percent after technical weightings are applied) or more of the technical score. Each supplier achieving a score greater or equal to 50 percent will only then progress through to the commercial evaluation.\nStage 3 - Commercial (Price) shall be allocated a total weighting of 20 percent. The bidder who submits the lowest price will be awarded the maximum score for the associated cost area, and all other bids awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid.\nBoth Technical and Commercial scores will be added together at the end of the evaluation process to calculate the most economically advantageous tender, to be recommended as the winning bidder.",
