  • Economic & financial standing

    HES use Scotbis, an independent provider of business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. The overall aim of this assessment is to ensure, as far as possible, that any potential Supplier will not have financial difficulties that endanger their ability to perform the Contract. If financial information cannot be gained from that source Historic Environment Scotland will request that you

    provide full audited accounts for the last full financial year. If Suppliers cannot provide any of the assurances as detailed above, and it is determined by HES that your financial strength is not adequate, then your company may not pass the financial evaluation. If you can provide the assurances as detailed above, HES may explore these options with you before determining whether your company can be taken

    forward in this procurement exercise. Bank details may also be sought to support the above.

    Minimum: With reference to SPD question 4B.5, it is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below: - Public Liability (non-motor) - minimum cover …
  • Technical & professional ability

    With reference to SPD question 4C.1 - Bidders will be required to provide up to 3 examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services as described in the contract notice and tender documents.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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