Procurement Information
A previous open tender procedure was carried out for this requirement (notice reference: 678818). Zero tenders were returned initially for Lot 1 - Supply of Transplants, Whips, & Feathered Trees and two tenders were returned for Lot 2 - Supply of Standard Trees & Other Trees however following evaluation both failed to pass the Council's pre-set threshold for quality. Lot 3 was responded to, evaluated and awarded. As this previous tender exercise failed to produce any successful tenders for both Lots 1 and 2 and the Council had demonstrated competition, the Council will award the Lots directly to the suppliers indicated in this notice.

Where a Tenderer does not have an annual turnover of the required value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer's suitability to proceed in the competition. Part IV: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing - Question 4B4 - Tenderers will be required provide the following information in response to 4B.4: For Lot 1 (Supply of Transplants, Whips, & Feathered Trees): Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10 For Lot 2 (Supply of Standard Trees & Other Trees): Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10 For Lot 3 (Supply of Ancillary Items): Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10 The formula for calculating a Tenderer's current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. The acceptable range for each financial ratio is greater than 1.10. Where a Tenderer's current ratio is less than the acceptable value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer's suitability to proceed in the competition. Part IV: Selection criteria - B: Economic and financial standing - Question 4B5b and 4B5c - Tenderers are required to hold, or commit to obtaining prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below: a. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance - GBP 5m b. Public Liability Insurance - GBP 5m c. Product Liability - GBP 1m d. Motor Insurance adequate to cover the risks and requirements of the Contract Where a Tenderer does not hold or commit to obtaining the types and levels of insurance indicated, the Council will exclude the Tenderer from the competition.",
