- Economic & financial standing
SPD (Scotland) Question 1.73.6 - Requirement - Other Economic or Financial.
Contractors will be subject to a Credit Safe check to assess the economic financial standing. Contractors are required to obtain a Credit safe rating >= 35. Contractors will be required to co-operate with the Council and may be asked to provide copies of their last 2 financial audited accounts to assist with this process.
The Council reserves the right to exclude economic operators who fail to meet this rating and reserves the right not to award a contract without liability on its part.

It is a requirement of this contract that Economic operators hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of in… - Technical & professional ability

If contractors have no certification to satisfy the requirement they must adopt and work within the scope of the Council’s policies and procedures which will be instructed and managed by SBc Contracts management as required.

- Staff
- Names and qualifications of delivery staff must be submitted
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Subcontractor Services Framework Agreement” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 150 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
