The lead architect must be ARB registered.

The overall design team will consist of numerous parties and each party will be required to have the relevant professional or trade register or membership which is applicable to their trade.Within Section 1 item 1.3 of the ESPD we have listed the numerous parties.

Evaluation

We will apply a two stage process:

Stage 1 — Pre-Qualification via the submission of the completed ESPD (Scotland).

— Bidders must pass the minimum standards (pass/fail) sections of the ESPD (Scotland). These can be found within the qualification envelope of PCS-T. Statements detailing the specific requirements can be found within Section III 1.1 & 1.2 and Section VI (VI.3) of the Contract Notice.

— Bidders must complete the technical envelope. Specific statements detailing the requirement can be found within Section III 1.3 of the Contract Notice. The responses to these statements will be scored as per the scoring methodology detailed within Section 3 below. We will take the six highest scoring bidders through to the ITT stage and they will be invited to submit a tender.

Stage 2 — Invitation to Tender (ITT)

The University will evaluate all shortlisted bidders/tenderers ITT submissions via undertaking a Quality/Technical and Commercial evaluation. Those bidders who have submitted a tender return will also be invited to interview. The ITT quality questionnaire will be marked and a further mark (for the interview) will be incorporated into the overall ITT quality score.

Technical (Quality) 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. eg in the event you score 4 out of 4 for all our quality questions and score 100 then you will be awarded the maximum score of 20 percent. In the event you score 2 out of 4 for all questions then your score will be 50 percent out of the quality percentage of 20 percent therefore your score would be 10 percent. Cost — the bidder who submits the lowest cost will be awarded the maximum score 80 percent and the others awarded a score pro rata, in relation to the lowest bid.

Summary

The quality and commercial score will be combined to give each bidder/tenderer an overall total score
