Conditions of participation2
  • Economic & financial standing

    Part 4: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing – Question 4B.1 - Bidders are required to have a minimum “general” annual turnover of 120,000 GBP for the last two financial years. Where a Bidder does not have an annual turnover of this value, the Council may exclude the Bidder from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Bidder’s suitability to proceed in the competition.

    Part 4: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing – Question 4B.4 - Bidders will be required provide the following information in response to 4B.4:

    • Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10
    • Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10

    The formula for calculating a Bidder’s current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. The acceptable range for each financial ratio is greater than 1.10. Where a Bidders’ current ratio is less than the acceptable value, the Council may exclude the Bidder from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Bidder’s suitability to proceed in the competition.

    Part 4: Selection Criteria - Technical and Professional Ability – Question 4C.1 – Bidders are required to answer the following questions:

    Question 1 – Yes/No

    It is a requirement of this service that all data and building plans are held on a secure server based in the UK and not shared with any third parties under any circumstances.

    This is essential for security purposes. Please confirm that you understand this minimum standard, and your policies and procedures align.

    If you do not answer yes to this question then we cannot take your tender application further.

    Question 2 – 60%

    Please provide two case studies that demonstrate your organisation's experience of delivering Scan to BIM laser scanning and modelling services.

    These case studies must be for projects completed within the last 5 years.

    The information you provide for each case study should, as a minimum, cover the following areas:

    • a detailed description of the service outputs delivered;
    • customer details, contract values, dates, property type and project brief;
    • a description of the processes and timescales adopted to deliver the project from inception to delivery of final model, including process stages along with hardware and software tools used;
    • a description of the outputs, including as a minimum, the format, level of accuracy including tolerance ranges of the outputs.

    Your response is limited to 4 A4 pages per Case Study including any images.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Laser Scanning and Modelling Services” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 5 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review procedure

A tenderer that suffers loss as a result of a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session. Post contract award the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session may (1) award damages provided proceedings are brought within 3 months from the date when the grounds for the bringing of the proceedings first arose (2) be entitled to issue an ineffectiveness order or impose a financial penalty on the Council. A claim for an ineffectiveness order must be made within 30 days of the Contract Award Notice being published in the FTS or within 30 days of the date those who expressed an interest in or otherwise bid for the contract were informed of the conclusion of the contract or in any other case within 6 months from the date on which the contract was entered into.

Publisher note: It is a mandatory requirement of this Framework Agreement that a prompt payment clause is present in all supply chain Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request or as contractually scheduled. (SC Ref:741267)
