The contract was subject to Scots Law and the jurisdiction of the Scottish Courts. GBP means Great British Pounds. III.1.2 - Economic operators who did not obtain a satisfactory financial evaluation may not be considered for contract award. The UK has left the EU and the transition period after EU came to an end on 31 December 2020.From 1 January 2021, relevant references to the EU and EU procurement legislation will either be updated or removed from the Public Contracts Scotland site where appropriate. This will be an ongoing process undertaken during 2021. Despite the reference to the EU Directives embedded in the header of the Contract Notice, the EU Directives do not apply to this procurement. III.1.2 - A Bank Reference Mandate Form was included with the procurement documents for completion by economic operators where a Bank Reference was not submitted direct by the economic operator. The Council carried out an Equifax check where a Bank Reference could not be obtained and this formed part of the economic and financial evaluation of economic operators. VI.4.1 - Review body. The review body noted is Lerwick Sheriff Court, but Economic Operators should contact the Contracting Authority in the first instance if any issue needs to be addressed.
