    The Council reserves the right at its own discretion to seek information from the applicant in accordance with Regulation 61(7) or

    Regulation 61(8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to determine the Applicant’s economic and financial standing. East Renfrewshire Council requires to ensure that the economic operator has the necessary economic and financial capacity to perform and complete the contract. In the current difficult economic environment, the Council seeks to ensure that the contractor who undertakes the works has suitable financial strength and capacity to complete these goods, works or services.

  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders who intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the Contract Notice, must confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. Bidders must provide a response at SPD Q4.C.4 and this will include confirmation that they have the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, and provide evidence when requested of:

    a) their standard payment terms.

    b) ≥95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year.

    Bidders unable to confirm (b) must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves payment performance. It should be noted that where a bidder is unable to confirm or provide a satisfactory improvement plan the Council reserves the right to remove you from the process.

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

    Bidders who intend to subcontract more than 25% to any individual organisation must ensure the SPD (Scotland) - Subcontractors Supplier Response is completed and uploaded at question 2C.1 of the qualification envelope.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 70 of 170 points: a 10% discount moves about 7 points. Quality carries 95 of 170: the paper moves it further than the discount.

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

Publisher note: Prompt Payment-The successful tenderer shall, as a condition of being awarded the contract, be required to demonstrate to the council's satisfaction that all funds due to the tenderer's permitted sub-contractors in respect of these services are paid timeously and that as a minimum invoices rendered by subcontractors shall(unless formally disputed by the tenderer)be paid within 30 days of receipt. The successful tenderer shall also impose this condition on its subcontractors in respect of payments due to any sub-sub-contractors, if any. The Council reserves the right to request copies of insurance certificates from bidders at any point during the contract period. Failure to supply the information within timeframe requested may result in your bid being rejected & the Council proceeding with the procurement exercise to the next appropriate bidder. Additional information pertaining to this contract notice is contained within the Tender documents. Applicants must ensure they read in line with this contract notice. The Council envisages that staff working on the current service shall transfer to the successful tenderer or its sub-contractors, under the terms of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE"). These employees are currently employed by [the Council / the incumbent supplier]. Provisional lists of the employees who may transfer are contained in [insert]. Tenderers will, however, be required to satisfy themselves as to the application of TUPE in relation to the Procurement and it is the sole responsibility of each Tenderer to take any legal or other professional advice they consider necessary as to whether TUPE will be likely to apply to the Procurement, and if so, to reflect the financial and other commercial implications of the application of TUPE in their Tender Response. In particular, but without limitation, if a Tenderer considers that TUPE will be likely to apply to the Procurement that Tenderer's pricing proposals must take into account the costs associated with the transfer of any employees under TUPE and any associated costs. The Council makes no warranties or representations (whether express or implied) and gives no undertakings as to the applicability or otherwise of TUPE to the proposed contract. (SC Ref:781296)
