  • Suitability

    The bidder must hold a UKAS (or equivalent) accredited independent third party certificate of compliance in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 (or equivalent). Alternatively the bidder must have a documented policy regarding quality management.

  • Economic & financial standing

    Bidders will be required to have a minimum “general” yearly turnover of 1,000,000 GBP for the last 3 years.

    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

    Public Liability Insurance = 1,000,000 GBP

    Product Liability Insurance = 1,000,000 GBP

    The SCTS will use Experian to check the financial stability / risks associated with a Tenderer, and require that they have at least a score of 51 out of 100 ‘Below Average Risk’. Failing that, the Authority will use reasonable measures to ensure that appointing the Tenderer does not provide an elevated risk in terms of their financial stability and will request such information as may be reasonable necessary to ascertain that.

  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract.

    Bidders must confirm that they will provide samples, descriptions and/or photographs of the products to be supplied which do not require a certificate of authenticity:

    The bidder must confirm that they will provide certificates of authenticity where required.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 160 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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