Failure to pass this financial assessment will result in your application being rejected.
GCC reserves the right to reject your tender if you fail to submit last 3 years audited accounts or equivalent and GCC is unable to assess your financial position.
The financial evaluation at selection stage will include turnover Score, Pre Tax Profit Margin and Liquidity (Current Ratio and Leverage) and the minimum to pass (e.g. Bidders must achieve a score of 10 or above from a combination of all 4 financial requirements.)

- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted

- Review procedure
Glasgow City Council (“the Council”) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates concerned of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.
Publisher note: Insurance Requirements are: Bidder shall take out and maintain, throughout the period of the contract: Employer’s Liability insurance to the value of at least TEN MILLION POUNDS STERLING (10,000,000) in respect of any one event and unlimited in the period. (Waiver if preferred bidder is Sole Trader) Public Liability insurance to the value of at least FIVE MILLION POUNDS STERLING (5,000,000) in respect of any one event and unlimited in the period. Professional Indemnity insurance to the value of at least FIVE MILLION POUNDS STERLING (5,000,000) in respect of any one event and in the aggregate. The above insurances shall be with an insurance company registered with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, or equivalent body for EU member states by the council and any organisation shall not sub-let or sub-contract any part of the commission unless the sub-contractor is similarly insured, unless the council agrees otherwise. Should the Bidder not have the specified insurances at the time of tendering then, the bidder must certify in their response to this ITT that the specified insurance will be obtained. Information on the FOI Act is contained in Appendix A of the ITT. Bidders must note the implications of this legislation and ensure that any information they wish the council to consider withholding is specifically indicated on the FOI Certificate contained in the Qualification Envelope within the PCS Tender portal (NB the council does not bind itself to withhold this information). Bidders will be required to complete the FOI certificate at ITT stage. Bidders will be required to complete information in relation to Tenderer Amendments, Non Collusion and Prompt Payment as contained in the Technical Envelope area within the tender portal and the Buyers Attachment area. The successful bidder will be required to sign an Insurance Mandate, which will be issued in conjunction with the award letter authorising the Council to request copies of insurance documents from the successful bidder’s insurance provider. If the mandate is not signed and returned the Council reserves the right to request copies of insurance certificates from bidders at any point during the contract period. Terms and Conditions are located within the Buyers Attachments area of the tender portal. Once the Evaluation of Price and Quality has been completed, the recommended bidder will be expected to provide all documentation as specified in the SPD. Failure to provide this information within 5 days may result in your bid being rejected and the Council proceeding with the procurement exercise to the next appropriate bidder. Additional information pertaining to this contract notice is contained within the Invitation To Tender documents. Bidders must ensure they are read in line with this contract notice. (SC Ref:728764)
