- Suitability
Registration with the Care Inspectorate - Level 3 is a mandatory requirement. Failure to provide evidence of this may result in your tender submission being rejected.
Where required, contracts that fall within the specific risk sectors as defined by Police Scotland, or, where there is a suspicion that risk may be present, WLC will provide Police Scotland information on the representatives of the bidder (SPD Part 2B) to allow Police Scotland to review and provide feedback on information provided.
- Economic & financial standing
Re SPD question 4B.6 West Lothian Council will use Dun and Bradstreet’s DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of tenderers. Tenderers with a Failure Score of 50 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability. Please note that 49 or less will not be considered as having met this criteria. If a tenderer has a Failure Score of less than 50, the tenderer may be required to submit their last three years accounts.
In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating, tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. The council will then conduct an analysis of the accounts to ensure that there is no significant financial risk. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3-year period.
It is recommended that candidates review their own Dun & Bradstreet Score in advance of submitting their tender. If following this review tenderers consider that the Dun & Bradstreet Score does not reflect their current financial status, details of this should be provided, complete with evidence of a good high street credit rating (the equivalent of Dun & Bradstreet score 50) from a recognised credit referencing agency. The council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.

- Price carries 10 of 110 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
