The University of Edinburgh requires a pest control service to provide preventative and reactive service delivery to eradicate infestation of pests across the University estate and proof against future infestation. This will include but not be limited to accommodation, catering and events areas, offices and teaching areas. Bidders can bid for one or both Lots but can only be appointed to one lot. Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (“TUPE”) may apply to this contract. The University will evaluate the ITT submissions of all bidders who pass the SPD stage. The ITT will be weighted at 60% Technical and 40% Commercial. The weightings of each technical question will be detailed within the ITT. 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% and your submission scores 3 points out of 4 for that question then you will receive 7.5% out of a possible 10%. For the Commercial evaluation, the Bidder who submits the lowest-cost bid will be awarded the maximum score and others will be awarded a pro rata score in relation to the lowest bid. The technical and commercial scores for each Lot will then be combined to give each bidder an overall total score and to calculate the top scoring bidder. Bidders can choose to bid for either one or both Lots. Where a bidder opts to bid for both Lots, they will need to state their preference between Lot 1 and Lot 2. The top scoring bidder will be appointed to each Lot, however, UoE will not appoint the same bidder to both Lot 1 and Lot 2. Should the same bidder top score for both Lot 1 and Lot 2, they will be appointed to their preferred Lot. For the other remaining Lot (the top scoring bidder’s non-preferred Lot), the second-ranked Bidder will be appointed
