Review and risk notes
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: 1) Health & Safety — the H&S Questionnaire is contained in the attachments section of PCS-T. Bidders must complete the H&S Questionnaire as part of their SPD submission.

Evidence will be requested at the Request for Document stage of the evaluation (see further detail in item 7 below) and will be requested only of the preferred bidder. The submission of this evidence is mandatory and will be evaluated as a pass / fail. 3) Collateral warranties are required. Details can be found within the contract call-off terms. 4) Tenderers Amendments - The tenderer must enter any clause, condition, amendment to specification or any other qualification he may wish to make conditional to their offer. Bidders will be required to complete the tenderers amendment certificate contained in the attachment area within PCS Tender portal. 5) Prompt Payment - The successful tenderer shall, as a condition of being awarded the tender, be required to demonstrate to the council's satisfaction that all funds due to the tenderer's permitted sub-contractors in respect of these works are paid timeously and that as a minimum invoices rendered by subcontractors shall (unless formally disputed by the tenderer) be paid within 30 days of receipt.

The conditions of contract can be located within the attachments area within the PCS Tender portal. 10) Request for Documentation: 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. When the Request for Documentation is made, Bidders must supply the relevant information within 5 working days.
