  • Suitability

    It is a requirement of this tender that if the bidder is UK based they must hold a valid registration with Companies House. Where the bidder is UK based but not registered at Companies House they must be able to verify to SPT's satisfaction that they are trading from the address provided in the tender and under the company name given.

    If the bidder is based out-with the UK they must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade register appropriate to their country as described in Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

  • Economic & financial standing

    Bidders must either confirm that they have a Dun and Bradstreet failure score of 51 or above (and provide the score), or if they cannot evidence this or do not have a D&B score they must provide instead the value of the 3 financial ratios stated.

    The name of the 3 ratios to be evaluated are Profitability, Gearing and Liquidity. The acceptable values and method of calculation are detailed in the Evaluation of Tenders document provided and below.

    Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met the bidder must confirm below which other mitigating factors may apply which SPT may consider. Again these are detailed in the Evaluation of Tenders document.

    The bidder confirms they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the contract, the levels of insurance cover indicated. Note that these levels are non-negotiable.

    Minimum: In the absence of a Dun and Bradstreet Score, the name and required values of the Financial Ratios are as follows 1 Profitability – this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; 2 Liqui…
  • Technical & professional ability

    The Bidder must provide 3 examples from the last 3 years where they have undertaken works and services of a similar nature to the requirements detailed in the Specification. Ideally but not essential that these works and services will have been undertaken on behalf of a Public body and/or within a similar environment.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 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.
