II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This tender seeks the continuation of the food and drink waste support currently provided by Mabbett since its introduction in 2016.
The design and delivery of the food and drink advice and support service supports the targets and priorities contained in a range of Scottish Government policies and strategies including the Climate Change (Scotland) Act (2009), Waste (Scotland) Regulations (2012), and Making Things Last — A Circular Economy Strategy for Scotland (2016).
With approximately 1 350 000 tonnes of food waste generated in Scotland, there is significant potential to prevent the creation of this waste stream. The circular economy strategy includes a food waste reduction target, to reduce food waste by 33 % by 2025. This target is one of the most ambitious in the world and will put Scotland on a trajectory to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goal, which the Scottish Government have also signed up to, of a 50 % reduction by 2030.
The objective of this programme is to support the delivery of the Scottish Government food waste reduction target via the provision of one-to-one support to SME food and drink businesses. The appointed contractor will provide Scottish SMEs with food and drink waste audits, followed by implementation support and the development of case study content.
The purpose of the service is to assist the SME in the identification of food and drink waste prevention measures, resulting in applications to either the Waste Prevention Implementation Fund, the Circular Economy Fund or the SME business loan where appropriate. Details of the Waste Prevention Fund, Circular Economy Fund and SME Loan can be found on the Zero Waste Scotland website.

VI.3) Additional information
Zero Waste Scotland is not using the ESPD module on PCS for this procurement exercise. Bidders must therefore download the ESPD (Scotland) provided for this procurement exercise as an additional document in order to prepare a response.
Failure to follow the instructions provided in either the ‘Supporting Information for Selection Criteria’ document or the tender document may result in your ESPD (Scotland) response and/or tender submission being ruled non-compliant. Please read these instructions carefully prior to completing and submitting any response. Any questions relating to these instructions must be raised using the question and answer facility through the PCS website.
The questions, weightings and scoring methodology for selection criteria can be found in the ‘Supporting Information for Selection Criteria’ document.
Bidders are reminded that only information provided as a direct response to the ESPD (Scotland) will be evaluated. Bidders should complete their response on the basis that Zero Waste Scotland, its staff and advisers have no prior knowledge of their organisation.
Bidders should note that Zero Waste Scotland will carry out due diligence checking on statements made within ESPD (Scotland) responses. A request from Zero Waste Scotland to provide evidence in support of statements made by a bidder in their ESPD (Scotland) response does not infer that the bid or the bidder has been successful.
Quality submissions will be scored using the Scottish Government's recommended scoring convention:
4= Excellent: response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full.
3= Good: response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled.
2= Acceptable: response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas.
1= Poor: response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient/limited details or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled.
0= Unacceptable: nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement.
Please do not contact Zero Waste Scotland following a response or submission to enquire if or when a decision will be made. An indicative timetable is provided in the Contract Notice, and Zero Waste Scotland will inform all bidders of decisions or delays at the same time, by email to the nominated contact only as identified in your response or submission.
