  • Economic & financial standing

    The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts.

    Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their

    financial strength and stability.

    It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer

    does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status;

    the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which

    demonstrates its financial strength/stability.

    Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their

    audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine

    the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.

    As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender

    response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:

    A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;

    audited or unaudited (if the co…

    Minimum: The Supplier shall have in force and shall require any sub-contractor to have in force: Employer’s Liability Insurance covering the death of or bodily injuries to employees of the bidder arising out of and in the course of their employment in connection with this contract to the …
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 75 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 7.5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

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

Performance terms

Staff (including sub-contractor staff) directly involved in the delivery of the Contract, must be paid at least the real Living Wage.

The Scottish Public Sector considers the payment of the real Living Wage to be a significant indicator of an employer's commitment to fair work practices and that payment of the real Living Wage is one of the clearest ways an employer can demonstrate that it takes a positive approach to its workforce.

The real Living Wage is a rate of pay which applies to all employees aged 18 and above and is sufficient to ensure that the recipient may enjoy an acceptable standard of living. There are two rates of the real Living Wage: the UK wide rate and the London rate. The rates are announced annually by the Living Wage Foundation.
