Redress Scotland's requirement includes supporting development and delivery of communications strategy and the operational approaches. While this is a reasonably broad scope, the nature of the communications is such that it is complex and sensitive. The range of key stakeholders and the level of public interest mean that a sophisticated and high quality communications approach is needed with significant expertise and experience in similar and related areas.

- Quality: 60

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

Publisher note: Tenderers must demonstrate their ability to work with an organisation facing similar challenges to Redress Scotland by clearly demonstrating expertise in working in complex and sensitive communications areas, particularly in relation to childhood abuse, historical abuse and the impact of trauma on children and adults. Tenderers must demonstrate their ability to support public bodies in working on communications collaboratively and constructively, while maintaining the public body’s independence, with the Tenderer being likely to have regular and direct contact with Scottish Government and Scottish Parliament on issues of media coverage relating to Redress Scotland. Tenderers shall have in force and shall require any sub-Contractor to have in force: (a) employer’s liability insurance in accordance with any legal requirements for the time being in force, and (b) public liability insurance for such sum and range of cover as the Supplier deems to be appropriate but covering at least all matters which are the subject of indemnities or compensation obligations under these Conditions in the sum of not less than 1 million GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total, unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser in writing. (c) professional indemnity insurance for such sum and range of cover as the Supplier deems to be appropriate but covering at least all matters which are the subject of indemnities or compensation obligations under these Conditions in the sum of not less than 1 million GBP for any one incident and unlimited in total, unless otherwise agreed by the Purchaser in writing. Award Criteria Questions can be found in the ITT together with the weightings. Question scoring methodology for award criteria is outlined in Invitation to Tender. Tenderers must provide the completed Pricing Schedule as a separate document. Single Procurement Document will be scored on a pass/fail basis. Bidders must complete the SPD (Scotland) to demonstrate adherence to the exclusion and selection criteria for this procurement. If there are named subcontractors upon which the bidder will rely to meet the selection criteria, these named parties must complete and reattach the SPD Supplier Response Form attached to SPD questions 2C.1.1 and 2D.1.2. These parties must complete the first 3 sections of the SPD form, as well as any part of the Section 4 selection criteria that the main bidder will rely upon the parties to fulfil. If parties have not yet been identified, this information may be required at a later date. Redress Scotland reserves the right to request this information from relevant parties upon whom the main bidder will not rely to fulfil selection criteria. (SC Ref:757350)
