4B.6: The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers.

Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at www.creditsafe.com/products/business-cr… ↗
If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed.

The examples provided must demonstrate experience of the following, as a minimum:
- Experience of providing, hosting and supporting an application which enables disabled visitors to communicate their accessibility requirements to a venue in advance of their visit.
- Experience of providing an application which provides suitable information and advice to a venue to enable the needs and requirements of each disabled visitor to be fully understood and aiding the venue to tailor their welcome in order to fully support each visitor’s individual needs.

Minimum: In relation to the SPD: 4D.1: not used 4D.2: not used
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Accessibility Notification Application” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.
