Conditions of participation3
  • Suitability

    Bidders are required to be a member of the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) and/or the Trade Association \or equivalent).

    The Contractor shall be third-party certified by a UKAS certification body to carry out inspection, servicing and maintenance of Electrical Equipment.

  • Economic & financial standing

    The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts. Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their financial strength and stability.

    It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability.

    Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.

    As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:

    A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;

    audited or unaudited (if the co…

    Minimum: Equifax score of 35 or more Insurances:Tenderers must confirm they already have or commit to obtain prior to the commencement of the contract, the following levels of insurance: Professional Risk Indemnity Insurance covering the failure of the bidder to use the skill and care nor…
  • Technical & professional ability

    SPD Question 4C (Previous Experience)

    Bidders to provide relevant examples of supplies and/or services carried out during the last three years as specified (Examples from both public and/or private sector customers and clients may be provided)

    Minimum: For question 4C 1.2, bidders will be required to provide two examples that demonstrate that the practice has the relevant experience to deliver the services in relation to the Scope.
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 45 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4.5 points. Quality carries 55 of 100: the paper moves it further than the discount.

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