II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The University of Edinburgh has a requirement to establish contracting arrangements for the Supply, Delivery, Servicing and Repairs of the University’s Rowing Fleet.

The University is seeking a single supplier for this requirement. The contract shall be in place for a period of 5 years, with no options to extend.

The University of Edinburgh's performance rowing programme is highly regarded and has achieved significant success in recent years. The Edinburgh University Boat Club (EUBC), established in 1867, is one of the oldest sports clubs at the university and has grown to become one of the leading rowing clubs in Scotland, boasting over 100 active members.

In 2015, EUBC became the first and only programme in Scotland to achieve GB Rowing Team High Performance Programme status. The club has consistently produced athletes who have represented Scotland and Great Britain at various levels, including multiple Olympians such as Dame Katherine Grainger and Dr. Polly Swann.

Our Performance Rowing Programme seeks a market-leading supplier to support the acquisition of state-of-the-art boats, enhancing the University’s fleet. This initiative will enable the recycling of older boats while ensuring our students compete using the most modern and technically advanced equipment available in today’s marketplace.

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. 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 70 percent. Technical 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 your submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then you will receive 7.5 percent out of a possible 10 percent. Bidders will be required to achieve a minimum score of 50 percent (35 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 30 percent. Commercial scores shall be allocated on a comparative basis with the lowest overall price receiving full marks (30) and others a percentage of that mark according to the difference between their bid and the lowest offer.

Both Technical and Commercial scores will be added together at the end of the evaluation process to calculate the most economically advantageous tender.
