Economic operators must be enrolled in the relevant professional or trade registers kept in the member state of its establishment (as described in Schedule 5 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) 2015) (e.g. registered under Companies House). Economic operators should provide details under SPD Question ref 4A.1.
- Economic & financial standing
Economic Operators shall be required to satisfy minimum standards of economic and financial standing. To determine these standards, Economic Operators shall:
(a) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.1a provide the specified annual turnover for the last two years of trading, or for the period which
is available if trading for less than two years;
(b) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.6 provide the name, value and/or range of NINE financial criteria for the last two years of
trading, or for the period which is available if trading for less than two years; and
(c) in response to SPD, Question Ref. 4B.5 confirm they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to commencement of the contract the required levels of insurance. In addition to the information requested under (a) and (b), economic operators are required to provide a link/copies of the associated annual accounts as filed at Companies House (or equivalent if not a UK registered company) for the last two years of trading, or for the period which is available if less than two years. This information has been requested to enable Transport Scotland to perform their own assessment and confirm the financial ratios submitted. Ultimately, ensuring the correct score is allocated, and to ensure no misinterpretation. Where there exist differences in ratios, between those provided and those calculated by Transport Scotland, clarification will be sought.

- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Traffic, Travel and Transport Data Collection Multi-Supplier Framework…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
