Conditions of participation3
  • Suitability
    1. Tenders will be required to be regulated by the appropriate national regulatory body, such as the Financial Conduct Authority.
    2. Tenders must confirm if their company, or any of their company's directors, partners or anyone in an equivalent position e.g. any other senior managers who have powers of representation, design or control, have any convictions relating to any of the offences listed under Regulation 57 of the Public Contract Regulations.
  • Economic & financial standing

    Financial Strength - Insurers must hold a minimum credit rating of A with Standard and Poors, or equivalent with another recognised rating company.

  • Technical & professional ability

    Tenderers must provide at least one detailed example of having provided Insurance Services similar to those outlined in the Specification across a large fleet portfolio within the last 3 years. The example(s) provided must demonstrate experience and capability of providing an adequate claims handling service for a large Motor Fleet of vehicles. Tenderers must include the name of Client(s) (public, private or third sector) and the starting and end date of the contract. Written response required for this criterion.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 65 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6.5 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.
