Additional Information to II.I.6

The University has taken the decision to split the following disciplines into to ‘small’ and ‘large’ lots, Architectural Services (Lots 1 and 2), Building Services (Mechanical and Electrical Design Services) (Lots 3 and 4), Civil and Structural Services (Lots 5 and 6) and Cost Consultancy/ Quantity Surveying Services (Lots 8 and 9). The University has considered this as an appropriate structure for this framework with a view to promote and encourage participation from SME’s. This split is based on an estimate of the net construction value of projects with the small lots servicing projects based on an estimate of a net construction value of less than 4,000,000 GBP and the large lots servicing projects with an estimated net construction value of greater than 4,000,000 GBP.

Additionally the University in accordance with Regulation 47(4) of the Public Contract (Scotland) Regulations 2015, shall reserve the right to restrict the maximum number of lots that a tenderer can be awarded to for the disciplines noted above. As a result a tenderer who bids for both lots in each of the following disciplines Architectural Services, Building Engineering Design Services, Civil and Structural Engineering Design Services and Cost Consultancy/ Quantity Surveying Services lots may only be awarded a place onto to one of either the small or large lots for that relevant discipline. Tenderers may however be awarded contracts for more than one discipline (for example they may be awarded onto the lot for Architectural Services (small lot) and Building Engineering Design Services (large lot). The mechanism to determine which lot the tenderer will be awarded should they be found to be the most economically advantageous across both lots in each of the relevant disciplines is to award places on the large lot for each of the relevant disciplines first and remove those who are also successful on the lower value lot.

Please be advised bidders can bid across discipline where the bidding organisation has the capability to service multiple disciplines.
