Conditions of participation2
  • Economic & financial standing

    The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the

    financial standing of tenderers. We highly recommend that tenderers review their financial performance on Creditsafe to understand their

    credit score rating which will be used by the SPCB to evaluate the financial standing of the tenderer and that they read the 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… ↗

    The SPCB requires tenderers to have a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer

    has a lower credit risk score than 40 on Creditsafe and has the backing of a parent company with a credit risk score of 40 or higher, then the

    provision of a parent company guarantee will be required prior to the award of any contract. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than

    40 and cannot provide a parent company guarantee, they must submit evidence to support a stable and improved financial standing with

    their tender or the tender may be rejected. If no evidence is provided with the tender or the evidence provided is not sufficient to

    demonstrate a satisfactory financial position to the satisfaction of the SPCB (whose decision in this regard shall be final), then the tender

    will be rejected and will not be evaluated further.

    The experience question within the SPD is mandatory and the bidder is expected to provide robust details of their experience in running a

    contract of this nature. The question can be accessed within the SPD and must be submitted as part of the tender submission.

    The response will be assessed on a pass / fail basis

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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