- Suitability
The relevant selection criteria will be included in the SPD Scotland module
- Economic & financial standing
Part IV: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing – Question 4B.1 - Tenderers are required to have a minimum “general” annual turnover for each Lot of:
Lot 1 Caithness - 200,000 GBP for the last two financial years.
Lot 2 Sandstone - 200,000 GBP for the last two financial years
Lot 3 Granite - 300,000 GBP for the last two financial years
Lot 4 Whinstone - 500,000 GBP for the last two financial years
(If a tenderer bids for more than one Lot. The minimum “general” annual turnover is the sum of each tendered Lot, e.g. a tenderer bidding for Lots 1 and 2 will require a minimum “general” turnover of 400,000 GBP for the last two financial years.)
Where a Tenderer does not have an annual turnover of this value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition.
Part IV: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing – Question 4B.4 - Tenderers will be required provide the following information in response to 4B.4:

Where a Tenderer’s current ratio is less than the acceptable value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeki…
- Price carries 60–70 points depending on the lot; most lots put it at 70 points.
- “Supply of Natural Stone Paving and Road Products” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 4 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

A tenderer that suffers loss as a result of a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session. The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) will have a minimum standstill period of 10 days before awarding the contract. The communication of the award decision notice will be sent by fax or e-mail to all tenderers with the standstill period commencing on the next day. If proceedings are started in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session against the Council in respect of the decision to award the contract within the standstill period then the Council is prevented from awarding the contract. Post contract award the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session may (1) award damages provided proceedings are brought within 3 months from the date when the grounds for the bringing of the proceedings first arose (2) be entitled to issue an ineffectiveness order or impose a financial penalty on the Council. A claim for an ineffectiveness order must be made within 30 days of the Contract Award Notice being published in the FTS or within 30 days of the date those who expressed an interest in or otherwise bid for the contract were informed of the conclusion of the contract or in any other case within 6 months from the date on which the contract was entered into.
