The successful team must be confident and skilled at selling in an international environment.

There may be a requirement for work at other sites throughout the season, this will depend on visitor numbers and any special events that are being held. The contract will cover our peak season which is April through to late October. The supplier must adopt a flexible approach and be able to come up with creative and effective techniques for approaching the public. The supplier will need to be able to provide sufficient team members., HES anticipates that the staffing commitment will need to flex as anticipated numbers change throughout the season (extra locations/events, busy periods such weekends and school holidays). As a rough guide, HES anticipates 1 or 2 members of staff per day at Stirling Castle depending on the day of the week or time of year. If the supplier feels they can increase sales to a level to deliver ROI by having more staff, this should be highlighted in the tender response. The supplier will be expected to meet HES's internal scoring standards for VSQA and Mystery visits. Details of this will be discussed with the successful supplier upon appointment. There will be a requirement for the team to be on site for staff training before any selling days commence. Due to the team working on HES sites and having access to the till systems the following training courses will need to be completed, these will be provided by HES - - Information Security Awareness (e-learning) - Data Protection Essentials (e-learning) - Introduction to Safeguarding (e-learning) - Counter Terrorism Awareness (e-learning) - PCI DSS (on site training by site management team) We anticipate this to be at least one full day of on site training, and the dates will be agreed with the successful supplier. The supplier is responsible for all issues relating to management of their staff on site.
Renewal: After the initial 2 year contract period, there will be an option to extend the contract by a further 2 years which will be reviewed annually.

The overall aim of this assessment is to ensure, as far as possible, that any potential Supplier will not have financial difficulties that endanger their ability to perform the Contract. If financial information cannot be gained from that source Historic Environment Scotland will request that you provide full audited accounts for the last full financial year. If Suppliers cannot provide any of the assurances as detailed above, and it is determined by HES that your financial strength is not adequate, then your company may not pass the financial evaluation. If you can provide the assurances as detailed above, HES may explore these options with you before determining whether your company can be taken forward in this procurement exercise.
