Q4B.1.b - Bidders will be expected to have an average yearly turnover of a minimum of GBP500,000 for the last 2 years. Scottish Enterprise reserves the right to exclude bidders who don’t meet this requirement.
Q4B.3 - Where turnover information is not available for the time period requested, the bidder will be required to state the date which they were set up or started trading. Scottish Enterprise reserves the right to exclude bidders who don’t meet this requirement.
Q4B.4 - Bidders will be expected to state the value(s) for the following financial ratio(s): Liquidity ratio, greater than or equal to 0.80. The liquidity ratio is calculated as current assets minus inventory (stock) divided by current liabilities for each of the last two years and the average of these equals the ratio. Scottish Enterprise reserves the right to exclude bidders who don’t meet this requirement.
Q4B.5.1 - Please confirm below whether you already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the contract, the appropriate levels of insurance for this contract. Bidders that do not already have, or cannot commit to obtain insurances may be excluded from further participation in this procurement exercise. Scottish Enterprise reserves the right to exclude bidders who don’t meet this requirement.

- Public Liability Insurance – to an appropriate level determined by the bidder
- Professional Indemnity Insurance – to an appropriate lev…
- Technical & professional ability
Q4C.1.2 - Bidders will be required to provide 2 relevant examples of similar commissions in which they have been involved. Each example should be no more than 200 words and include a description of the key outputs delivered, duration, value and the customer/client. Bidders can submit examples in a separate document to allow room to provide details of the service provided. These will be evaluated on a PASS/FAIL basis. Pass equals providing 2 examples detailing relevant experience to deliver the service. Fail equals failure to provide 2 examples detailing relevant experience to deliver the service.
Q4C.4 - If bidders intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in II.2.4 in the Find a Tender Service, Contract Notice or relevant section of the Site Notice, they should confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. 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
If the bidder is unable to confirm (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their director, which improves the payment performance.
Q4C.7 - Bidders will be required to confirm that they will employ envir…
- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Grangemouth Investor Relations Framework” 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.
