  • Suitability

    The Highland Council’s vessels are currently limited to make occasional voyages without passengers or cargo between Corran and the Clyde or Stornoway for the purposes of surveys and maintenance. It is essential that Yards are situated within these boundaries. Tenderers shall have to confirm that this is the case.

  • Economic & financial standing

    The Council will use an independent credit scoring organisation to conduct appropriate financial probity checks. Tenderers must score a risk rating of low risk in order to be considered for Contract award.

    If the Credit Report contains a risk rating between moderate risk and very high risk, Tenderers shall be given an opportunity to provide additional information which will be taken into account during the Council’s assessment.

    Where additional supporting information does not satisfy the Council that that the risk is mitigated Tenderers shall be disqualified.

    Tenderers must have a minimum:

    • 5,000,000 GBP Employers Liability Insurance (where applicable),
    • 10,000,000 GBP Public Liability Insurance.
    Minimum: Tenderers must have a minimum: - 5,000,000 GBP Employers Liability Insurance (where applicable), - 10,000,000 GBP Public Liability Insurance.
  • Technical & professional ability
    • Tenderers shall have to provide two examples of providing equivalent or similar services within the last three years.
    • Tenderers must hold a UKAS (or equivalent) accredited independent third party certificate of compliance in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 (or equivalent).

    OR

    Present a documented policy regarding quality management.

    Minimum: - Two examples of providing equivalent or similar services within the last three years - certificate of compliance in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 (or equivalent) or submit a documented policy regarding quality management.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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