  • Suitability

    Bidders will be required to state if any of the exclusion grounds as detailed within Regulation 58 (1) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 apply to them.

    If required by the bidder's country of establishment, bidders are required to be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade registers within the country in which they are established (in the United Kingdom, the bidder is a company registered with the Registrar of Companies and can provide a certificate stating that he is certified as incorporated or registered or, where he is not so certified, a certificate stating that the person concerned has declared on oath that he is engaged in the profession in a specific place under a given business name).

  • Economic & financial standing

    Bidders will be required to have a minimum “general” yearly turnover as detailed within the minimum level(s) of standards required below:

    Where turnover information is not available for the time period requested, the bidder will be required to state the date which they were setup/started trading.

    The Council will use Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to assist in its determination of the Bidders financial status and risk rating and will require that all Bidders evidence the equivalent of D&B Failure Score of 20 or above.

    It is recommended that bidders review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting their tender submission. If, following this review, Bidders consider that the D&B Failure Score does not reflect their current financial status, the Bidder should give a detailed explanation and will be required to provide any relevant supporting independent evidence at request for documentation stage. The Council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Bidder's financial status. Where the Bidder is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a D&B Failure Score, they will be required to provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of the request for documentation stage in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Bidder to undertake a contract or contracts of this size. This assessment will consider whether or not the Bidders annual turnover meets the minimum turnover leve…

    Bidders will be required to confirm their average annual manpower for the last three years and the number of managerial staff for the last three years.

    Bidders will be required to demonstrate that they have (or have access to) the relevant tools, plant or technical equipment to deliver the types of works/services applicable to the Lots that they are bidding for.

    Bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract.

    Bidders will be required to confirm that they hold a UKAS (or equivalent) accredited independent third party certificate of compliance in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 (or equivalent) OR have a documented policy regarding quality management which must set out responsibilities for quality management demonstrating that the bidder has and continues to implement a quality management policy that is authorised by their Chief Executive, or equivalent, and is periodically reviewed at a senior management level.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework Agreement for the Provision of Trades Contractors (2021 -…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.

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