Evaluation split and conditions of participation as published; the tender pack may add more
How bids were scored

Lots publish different evaluation splits; there is no single procedure weighting.

Conditions of participation2
  • Economic & financial standing

    There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance, and balance sheet strength.

    Financial requirements for trading performance and balance sheet strength should be calculated on latest filed accounts accounts with Companies House.

    Trading Performance

    An overall positive outcome on EBITDA earnings over a 3 year period.

    Exceptional items can be excluded from the calculation.

    The above would be expressed in the ratio EBITDA/Turnover.

    Balance Sheet Strength

    Net worth of the organisation must be positive at the time of evaluation and organisation must not be subject to an insolvency process.

    Intangibles can be included for purposes of the Total Assets figure.

    The above would be expressed in the ratio Total Assets/Total Liabilities

    If an applicant is only required to file abbreviated accounts with Companies House, then in the event of the company being successful in the procurement process, full set of accounts will be required in order to verify the above ratios have been complied with.

    An applicant should have no outstanding issues, with regard to statutory filing requirements with Companies House.

    Applicants who have been trading for less than the 3 years noted above must provide evidence that they are complying with the above minimum financial requirements for the period in which they have been trading.

    Applicants who do not comply with the above financial requirements but are part of a Group, can provide a Parent Guarantee if the Parent company satisfies…

    Minimum: Glasgow City Council’s Insurance Requirements are: The organisation/consultant shall take out and maintain throughout the period of their services Employer’s Liability insurance to the value of at least TEN MILLION (10,000,000) POUNDS STERLING in respect of any one claim and unli…
  • Technical & professional ability

    Please provide 2 relevant examples of goods carried out during the last three years as specified in the contract notice (examples from both public and/or private sector)

    Two examples must demonstrate the experience and skills that your company, obtains on projects of a similar scale and nature. Each example must include the following information but not be limited to:

    1 An overview of the contract including

    Full scope of the contract to include what services/goods that are being supplied

    customer name,

    contract start date

    contract end dates

    contract value

    Response to this question should not exceed 2 x A4 pages, Arial Font 11 per example excluding photographs (figures and diagrams may be used to accompany text but should be restricted to one per page).

    Where a submission exceeds the maximum number of pages indicated per example, no account will be taken of the content of the pages beyond the maximum.

    Weighting

    The weighting will be out of 100% with 50% attributed to each example. A minimum pass mark of 60 out of 100 is required overall for this question. Any Bidder who fails to achieve the minimum score for this question will be excluded at this stage.

    Minimum: For each Lot this section has a weighted scored of 100%. Each question/example contained within this section will be given individual scores which total to 100% e.g example 1 - 50%, example 2 - 50%. For both lots a minimum pass mark of 60 out of 100 is required overall for thi…
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 80 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 8 points.
  • “Manufacture and Supply of Parking Tickets, Printer Rolls, Parking…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 9 suppliers, not a single contract.

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

Review and risk notes
Review procedure

Glasgow City Council (“the Council”) must, by notice in writing as soon as possible after the decision has been made, inform all tenderers and candidates concerned of its decision to award the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish a dynamic purchasing system. The Council must allow a period of at least the relevant standstill period (where the notice is sent by facsimile or electronic means the period is 10 days ending at midnight at the end of the 10th day after that on which the last notice is sent, when sent by other means the period is 15 days) to elapse between the date of despatch of the notice referred to in Regulation 85(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”). The Council is obliged to comply with the Regulations and any eligible economic operator can bring an action in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session where as a consequence of a breach by the Council, suffers or risks suffering loss or damage. The bringing of court proceedings during the standstill period means that the Council must not enter into the contract, conclude the framework agreement or establish the dynamic purchasing system unless the proceedings are determined, discontinued or disposed of; or the court, by interim order, brings to an end the prohibition. The bringing of court proceedings after the standstill period has elapsed and the remedies that are available to the courts are detailed in the Regulations. Economic Operators can write to the Council seeking further clarification on the notice, to which the Council must respond within 15 days. Economic Operators should be mindful to seek their own independent legal advice when they consider appropriate to do so.
