- Economic & financial standing
The financial assessment of Tenderers will cover the following areas:
Credit Safe Report
An assessment of financial information using accounts submitted
Turnover – the Main contractor must have an annual turnover level of at least 18m
To establish the financial standing of a Tenderer, the Council will firstly take into account a risk report provided independently by Credit Safe. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed as a score ranging from 1 -100. In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of below 30 i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further.
Where you are not registered on credit safe e.g. charitable organisations, new start companies and Sole Traders you are to submit 2 years financial accounts, including Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet for consideration.
- Technical & professional ability
Selection criteria as stated in the procurement documents.
Bidders who intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the Contract Notice, must confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. Bidders must provide a response at SPD Q4.C.4 and this will include confirmation that they have the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, and provide evidence when requested of:
a) their standard payment terms.
b) ≥95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year.
Bidders unable to confirm (b) must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves payment performance. It should be noted that where a bidder is unable to confirm or provide a satisfactory improvement plan the Council reserves the right to remove you from the process.
Bidders are required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract.
Bidders who intend to subcontract more than 25% to any individual organisation must ensure the SPD (Scotland) - Subcontractors Supplier Response is completed and uploaded at question 2C.1 of the qualification envelope.
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 30 of 130 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
