The SPCB recognises that there are a range of risks which could potentially affect the ability of the organisation to fulfil its role. As part of the mitigation for and response to these risks we provide training opportunities for our staff and other stakeholders to help develop expertise and experience across a range of resilience topics including, but not limited to:
- Business Continuity
- Emergency Response
- Incident/Critical Event Management (Strategic, Tactical and Operational and Secretariat)
- Cyber Security (end-user and incident management, not technical)
- Incident Communications
- Risk Management
To assist with the delivery of this approach the SPCB requires a Contractor (possibly with the support of subcontractors) to:
- take a resilience-related business need identified by the Parliament and design and deliver a development programme to meet that business need
- evaluate the success of programme delivery
- ensure that programmes are consistent with and build on those previously delivered
Methods of delivery may include, but are not limited to: workshops (classroom/virtual), e-learning and exercises (table top or live). Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.

- Economic & financial standing
The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. Tenderers are encouraged to review their financial performance on Creditsafe and read information about
how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at www.creditsafe.com/products/business-cr… ↗
If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed.
If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out.
Tenderers should have a Creditsafe credit rating of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and has the backing of a parent company with a credit rating of 40 or higher, then the provision of a Parent Company
Guarantee prior to the award of any contract will be acceptable. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and no evidence to support a stable or improved financial standing then the tender may be rejected.
Minimum: Credit rating (on Creditsafe) of 40 or above. - Technical & professional ability
4C1.2
Bidders should provide 2 examples of having designed and/or delivered training on resilience related topics as set out in the contract notice in section II.2.4. Each example must include:

(iv) description of the delivered output (e.g. contents of designed programme or number, format, and duration of events, number of delegates at each event)
(v)how you evaluated success against objectives
(vi)feedback from delegates/client
Your examples should include both design and delivery (although not necessarily in the same example) and should include at least 2 different formats of delivery (i.e. training course, e-learning or tabletop/simulation exercise)

- Business Continuity Institute
- Institute of Risk Management
- Institute of Operational Risk

- Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
