Publisher note: CONDITIONS FOR PARTICIPATION The scope of services to be provided under this FFA is relative to the provision of a social and other specific service as defined in Schedule 3 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 (“the Regulations”) and in accordance with Regulations 74-76. Any application of or reference to other Regulations unless clearly identified is not to be implied and should not be construed as applying any of the other Regulations to the procurement exercise or resulting FFA, or bringing any of them into force. Accordingly, it is Scotland Excel and the Purchasers intention that, after the establishment of this arrangement, New Entrants may be permitted to apply to be included within this arrangement as being available to provide the Service within certain Lots and Regional Sub-Lots as required to ensure sufficient service coverage across all geographical Regions in Scotland. New Entrants will be permitted to apply to be included within this arrangement at a frequency determined by the requirements of the Purchasing Authorities. By virtue of Regulation 76(3) of the Regulations, Tenderers in any of the situations listed in Regulation 58 of the Regulations may be excluded. FINANCIAL STABILITY Scotland Excel will conduct a financial analysis on Tenderers from a credit referencing agency. The Tenderer is to confirm that a search will not return a "Warning" or "caution" returnable code or any neutral code or can provide documents to prove that the tender does/would not represent an unmanageable risk should it be appointed onto the proposed FFA. Tenderers who are unable to demonstrate satisfactory financial stability will be excluded.
