Conditions of participation2
  • Economic & financial standing

    Minimum level(s) of standards required:

    Please refer to question 4B.5 of the SPD and Economic and Financial standing

    section of the Contract Notice.

    Tenderers must confirm they can provide the following supporting evidence prior to

    award:

    Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP

    Product Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP

    Public Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP

    To demonstrate and evidence suitable economic standing, successful Contractors

    will be required to provide 2 years audited accounts, or

    equivalent if awarded the Framework Agreement.

    Alternatively, if the Contractor is unable to provide the required accounting information, e.g. a new business without the required accounts, then they will be required to provide a bankers letter demonstrating their willingness to support the Contractors organisation over the term

    of the Framework Agreement.

    Please refer to 4B.6 of the SPD

  • Technical & professional ability

    Tenderers must confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain

    management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and

    sustainable supply chain. This includes confirmation that they have the systems in

    place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain

    promptly (i.e. no later than 30 days after the invoice (or similar claim) relating to the

    payment is presented) and effectively, and provide

    evidence when requested of:

    a) their standard payment terms

    b) ≥95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the

    terms of contract) in the last financial year

    If the bidder is unable to confirm (b) they must provide an improvement plan,

    signed by their Director, which improves the payment

    performance

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Automatic Doors and Roller Shutters” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 42 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
