  • Economic & financial standing

    Economic and Financial Standing – The Council shall carry out a credit check using Creditsafe, should it be required the bidder may be contacted for further financial information.

    Insurances required:

    The supplier’s liability in contract, delict (including without limitation negligence or breach of statutory duty howsoever arising), misrepresentation (whether innocent or negligent), restitution or otherwise, arising in connection with the performance or contemplated performance of this agreement shall be limited to the value equal to 175% of the total value of the Contract.

    For a period of 12 months from the date of supply of the equipment or a period equal to such extended period that the Council shall in its sole discretion decide to purchase, the Supplier shall maintain in force, with a reputable insurance company product liability insurance and public liability insurance to cover the liabilities that may arise under or in connection with the Contract.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 170 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. Quality carries 95 of 170: the paper moves it further than the discount.

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