NAC/5206 Provision of Health & Safety Training Courses Framework

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

• Suitability

  Where it is required, within a bidder’s country of establishment they must confirm which authorisation or memberships of the relevant organisation(s) are required in order to perform this service.

  Bidders must confirm if they hold the particular authorisation or memberships noted within the specification for each Lot.

• Economic & financial standing

  Bidders will be required to have a minimum yearly “general” turnover of 30,000 GBP for the last 3 years. This requirement is applicable to all Lots. Where a bidder seeks to bid for multiple lots, they must evidence a combined annual turnover that meets the aggregated requirement. For example when bidding for 2 Lots the bidder must evidence a minimum yearly "general" turnover of 60,000 GBP.

  North Ayrshire Council reserve the right to review the bidder's financial information using company watch financial analytics at tender stage and throughout the life of the contract. If the bidder’s financial health score (H-Score) is 25 or less further information/clarifications will be requested to ensure the equivalent economic and financial standing is adhered too. If this information or the clarifications are not satisfactory, the bidder will be excluded from the tender process.

  Bidders who cannot meet the required level of turnover will be excluded from this tender.

  Where turnover information is not available for the time period requested, the bidder will be required to state the date which they were set up or started trading.

  It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commence of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:

  Employer’s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5,000,000 GBP in respect of any one event

• Technical & professional ability

  Bidders are required to provide 2 examples per Lot of services carried out in the past 3 years that demonstrates they have the relevant experience to deliver the services described in the Contract Notice. The services must be of a similar value, size and scope. The minimum acceptable contract value is 66,100 GBP. Where a bidder does not have a single contract exceeding 66,100 GBP, it is acceptable to provide examples of multiple contracts that collectively meet or exceed this value. Unsatisfactory experience will result in exclusion from the tender process.

  Bidders must also provide 2 satisfactory references per Lot for the same 2 contracts on the reference templates provided. For bidders submitting multiple examples to satisfy the required contract value threshold, the references provided must relate to the two highest‑value contracts provided as examples.

  References should be completed and signed by previous customers for contracts of a similar value, size and scope. If any of the referees score the bidder less than 2 the bidder will be excluded from the tender process.

  Completed experience and reference templates must be zipped and uploaded at question 4C.1 of the qualification envelope.

  Bidders are required to confirm details of the technicians or technical bodies who they can call upon, especially those responsible for quality control.
