This tender is being conducted in accordance with the Utilities Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 using a negotiated process. This is to allow flexibility of negotiation (i.e. discussion and dialogue) with bidders before final tenders are invited and evaluated. The Invitation to Tender will set out the issues in relation to which negotiation is expected, such as value engineering proposals, price structure and risk allocation. The extent of contractor design is very limited; it is not anticipated that negotiations will focus on alternative design proposals. Negotiation will involve primarily the exchange of documentation together with, if required, some remote meetings between each bidder and the Port Authority, such meetings will be limited in terms of number, duration and the number of participants. The Port Authority’s aim is to complete the process from the issue of the invitation to tender to its evaluation decision in five months.

See instructions to bidders document available at www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk for information regarding the exclusion and selection criteria, minimum requirements, the tender process and project timescale. Bidders are required to complete and submit the ESPD document and provide the required appendices to register their interest in this contract.
