Publisher note: The information required in Part II of the SPDS 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 SPDS. Bidders unable to complete SPDS 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 Bidder then the Bidder 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. - BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE: Police Scotland identified a number of business areas which have a high risk of infiltration by Serious and Organised Crime groups; this contract belongs to one such area and as such the Authority reserves the right to include enhanced probity checks prior to any contract award, including sharing tenderer information with Police Scotland. The tender pack includes a schedule for the Declaration of non-involvement in serious organised crime; this is a mandatory tender submission requirement for all bidders. (SC Ref:769265)
