The Invitation to Tender (ITT) will contain the relevant contract performance conditions and requirements

Publisher note: The information required in Part II of the SPD is for information only and will therefore not be assessed. The Council may however choose not to select Bidders who cannot provide basic company information. Bidders must ensure that they submit appropriate SPDs completed by other members of the group (if they are bidding as part of a group), others whose capacity they rely on, and known sub-contractors on whose capacity they do not rely on, to satisfy any aspect of the SPD. Bidders unable to complete SPD(S) Part IV: Concluding Statements may be excluded from the competition. The complete ITT, with no pages omitted, must be submitted in accordance with instructions given, and be signed by an authorised representative (i.e. company director, secretary or other person authorised by the Candidate to do so). If the signatory is not the Candidate then the Candidate must provide, at the time of submitting the ITT, written confirmation of the signatory's authority to submit the ITT. Bidders should note that all documents listed in ITT Section 12 "Checklist of Required Documents" must be fully completed and submitted to ensure the submission is considered complete. Failure to do so may result in the submission being deemed non-compliant. Quality Questions - Minimum Score – If the average final score for any quality question response is below the minimum score requirement set for that question, then the submission response will be deemed non-compliant. For the avoidance of doubt, if any quality question is unanswered this will result in the bid being deemed non-compliant. Declaration of Non-involvement in Serious Organised Crime - In the case of any criminal history checks, the Council may exclude Bidders where the information provided to the Council by the Police Service of Scotland does not validate fully the information provided by the Bidder. Failure to disclose information that is relevant to this section or serious misrepresentation in relation to the information disclosed will result in exclusion from the Procurement or the termination of any subsequent contract that may be/has been awarded. A sub-contract clause has been included in this contract. For more information see: http://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/info/InfoCentre.aspx?ID=2363 (SC Ref:689537)
