"description": "Full details of award criteria and the weightings and scoring can be found in the Invitation to Tender. Tenderers may bid for all Lots. In the event of a tie under Lot 1 and 2, the Authority reserves the right to appoint the tenderer(s) with the highest quality score, if the tenderer(s) are tied with the same quality score, the Authority reserves the right to appoint the tenderer with the highest quality score in section 1.2 Delivery of the Services. Tenderers must confirm that they will pay staff that are involved in the delivery of services under the framework agreement, and/or any subsequent call off contract, at least the real Living Wage. Tenderers who fail to answer \"Yes\" to this question will not have their tender considered further. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Sco) Regs 2015. SPD Section 2: Sub-Contractors who are not being relied upon to meet Selection Criteria - A separate SPD will not be required at this Stage. SPD Q4.C.4 - Tenderers must state whether they intend, or do not intend, to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the ITT. If Tenderers intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements, they should provide evidence in the SPD that they have the relevant supply chain management and tracking systems in place to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. This will include confirmation that the Tenderer has the systems in place to pay subcontractors through the supply chain promptly and effectively, including evidence 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. If the bidder is unable to confirm and evidence (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which commits to improvements in the payment performance. Acceptable evidence includes but is not limited to: - Extract of the Tenderer's terms & conditions detailing standard payment terms; - A summarised accounts payable report showing payment on time performance; - Payment Performance Statement Signed by External Auditor; - Credit Score/Credit Report; or - An improvement plan, signed by a Director, which commits to improvements in payment performance. Improvement plan template and further evidence examples are held within the Supplier Journey. Where a Tenderer does not intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the ITT, they should clearly state this in response to Q4.C.4. Responses to Q4.C.4 will be evaluated as a \"Pass\" or \"Fail\". Tenderers who do not achieve a \"Pass\" for this question will not be considered further. If you are an SME or 3rd sector organisation interested in working with the public sector, the Supplier Development Programme can help. Attached is a link to the Supplier Development Programme:https://www.sdpscotland.co.uk/?utm_source=pcs&utm_medium=frontpage&utm_content=march16&utm_campaign=SDP03 The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise.

Public Liability Insurance = 1 million GBP per incident Professional Indemnity Insurance = 1 million GBP per incident Bidders who do not currently have or cannot commit to obtaining the levels of Insurance requested may be excluded from the procurement process.
