Conditions of participation2
  • Economic & financial standing

    The bidder is required to confirm that (to the best of their knowledge) there are no material post balance sheet events or other business issues arising since the date of the last audited financial statements that materially impact the economic and financial standing of the economic operator.

    Where the operator is not able to make such a conformation, full details of the relevant events shall be provided along with an explanation of the expected impact on the bidders economic and financial standing.

    The bidder confirms they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the contract, the levels of insurance cover indicated below:

    Minimum: The bidder is required to provide a copy of the last 2 or 3 audited financial statements as evidence of their compliance to meet their statutory obligations. Professional Risk Indemnity: 5,000,000 GBP (FVE MILLION POUNDS STERLING) Employer's (Compulsory) Liability: 5,000,000 GBP …
  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders will be required to provide examples of works carried out in the past five years that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the work as described in part II.2.4 of the Find a Tender Service Contract Notice or the relevant section of the Site Notice.

    Minimum: Bidders are require to provide examples of previous experience in delivering works/services in each lot applied for Requirement: Minimum of 1 example for each lot applied for from within the past 5 years
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 4 points.
  • “Civil Engineering Small Works” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 21 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
