4B.6: The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. Tenderers are encouraged to review their financial performance on Creditsafe and read information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at www.creditsafe.com/products/business-cr… ↗

If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed.

If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out.

4C.1.2: Bidders will be required to provide 3 examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services as described in part II.2.4 of the Find a Tender Service Contract Notice.

The examples provided must demonstrate experience of the following, as a minimum:

• Experience of building, hosting and supporting a website with similar levels of traffic/usage to the SPCB.
• Experience of building and hosting a reliable streaming/distribution service with similar levels of traffic/usage to the SPCB, where applicable providing evidence of working alongside any potential third-party streaming companies.
• Experience of supporting systems similar in nature to SPCB requirements.
• Experience in building and supporting systems for a no fail, high profile environment, such as the Scottish Parliament.

Each example should be wholly relevant to all, or part, of the services to be provided and collectively they should demonstrate experience in all parts of the services. In answering the question, a simple assertion will not be acceptable evidence; bidders should provide detailed evidence to demonstrate the breadth of their experience and capability. Should the bidder fail to demonstrate experience in all of the areas outlined as a minimum, or provide insufficient evidence to back up their experience, at the SPCB’s discretion, then the SPCB reserve the right to mark the SPD response a fail and not proceed to tender evaluation.
