  • Economic & financial standing

    The Current Ratio will be applied. Tenderers are required to provide their current assets and current liabilities in relation to their audited published accounts for the last two years and to divide the current assets by the current liabilities figure. If a company does not have 2 years of audited published accounts an explanation should be given. Bidders are expected to achieve a ratio of 1 or more. Where a Bidder does not meet this requirement further details should be provided to confirm the reasons why, the Council may undertake additional financial checks using a tool such as Creditsafe and a qualitative judgement shall be made as to the financial capacity of the tenderer. Fife Council may require a parent company guarantee, a performance guarantee bond, a bank guarantee, and or an advance payment bond.

    It is a requirement that the Tenderer holds or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of any contract, the minimum insurance levels states below:

    Employer’s Liability - GBP10 million

    Public Liability including Product Liability where appropriate GBP5 million

  • Technical & professional ability

    Tenderers are required to demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services required by the Council. Tenderers should provide as a minimum one example of relevant experience of a similar contract including description of services provided, total value, Dates of this agreement, Client etc

    Please provide a maximum of 500 words for each example.

    Minimum: Asbestos Awareness Training Certification Protection of Vulnerable Groups PVG Scheme members in respect of regulated work with children and protected adults.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “CFM0018 - Cleaning & Sanitising of bin chutes, bins and associated…” 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.

Review procedure

Economic operators should approach the contracting authority in the first instance. However, the only formal remedy is to apply to the courts:

An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session

Award methodology will be the following: 0 Very Poor nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate an ability to meet the requirement 1 Poor response is partially relevant and poor. The response addresses some elements of the requirement but contains insufficient limited detail or explanation to demonstrate how the requirement will be fulfilled. 2 Acceptable response is relevant and acceptable. The response addresses a broad understanding of the requirement but may lack details on how the requirement will be fulfilled in certain areas. 3 Good response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good understanding and provides details on how the requirements will be fulfilled. 4 Excellent response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirement and provides details of how the requirement will be met in full (SC Ref:662376)
