4B.6: It is a requirement of the DPS that Bidders commit to having their, and if relevant, their parent company’s, economic and financial standing reviewed. Bidders understand that the Council intends to conduct credit-checks and that the Council reserves the right at its own discretion to seek such other information from the Bidder in accordance with Regulation 61(7) or Regulation 61(8) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 to prove the Applicant’s economic and financial standing.
