    Economic Operators will be evaluated in accordance with the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 on the basis of information provided within the tender submission.

  • Economic & financial standing

    Economic Operators must confirm they already have or can commit to obtain,

    prior to the commencement the following levels of insurance:

    Employer’s Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million

    Public Liability Insurance = GBP 5 Million

    Professional Indemnity Insurance = GBP 1 Million

    The bidder should purchase any other insurance cover as necessary, taking into account the terms and conditions of this contract.

    Minimum: If a bidder ticks the box “No, and I cannot commit to obtain it” the submission shall be marked as FAIL. Economic operators which alter their composition after making a submission will be the subject of re-evaluation. CalMac Ferries reserve the right not to conclude any contract …
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.
  • “Supply and Delivery of Synthetic Mooring Ropes and Winch Mooring Lines” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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