Completed experience and reference templates must be zipped and uploaded at question 4C.1 of the qualification envelope. Bidders are required to confirm details of the technicians or technical bodies who they can call upon, especially those responsible for quality control. This will include confirmation that they have the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, and provide evidence when requested of: a) their standard payment terms. b) >=95% of all supply chain invoices being paid on time (in accordance with the terms of contract) in the last financial year. Bidders unable to confirm (b) must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves payment performance. Bidders are required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract. Bidders who intend to subcontract more than 25% to any individual organisation must ensure the SPD (Scotland) - Subcontractors Supplier Response is completed and uploaded at question 2C.1 of the qualification envelope.",
