All information supplied by you to the Authority will similarly be treated in confidence except: (i) for any information required to be disclosed or otherwise provided by the Authority to any person in order to comply with the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 and any codes of practice applicable from time to time relating to access to public authorities' information. The Tenderer shall co-operate, facilitate, support and assist the Authority in the provision of this information. In the event the Authority is required to provide information to any person as a result of a request made to it under such Act and/or codes, the Authority shall adhere to the requirements of such Act and/or codes in disclosing information relating to this Agreement, the Project documents and the Contractor. (ii) that references may be sought from banks, existing or past clients, or other referees submitted by the tenderers; (iii) for the disclosure of such information with regard to the outcome of the procurement process as may be required to be published in the Supplement to the current World Trade Organisation or elsewhere in accordance with the requirements of UK government policy on the disclosure of information relating to government contracts. Procedures for Review - An economic operator that suffers, or is at risk of suffering, loss or damage attributable to a breach of duty under the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015 or the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, may bring proceedings in the Sheriff Court or the Court of Session' Re SPD question 4B.6 In relation to D&B checks In the event that the tenderer is not required to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Dun & Bradstreet or equivalent rating,tenderers should be able to provide financial accounts when requested. Please note that if you intend on attaching 2 years accounts, these must include financial data over a 3 year period. The council will review any information which is comparable to a Dun & Bradstreet score of 50 from a recognised Agency to substantiate the Tenderer's financial status. In the event that a firm does not meet the financial criteria for consideration but has a parent company that does, the firm may still be eligible for consideration where their Tender Submission is supported by a Parent Company Guarantee. Should after review of the financial evaluation the tenderer fail, then the tender submission may be rejected. Police Scotland and Dun & Bradstreet checks will be carried out. Whilst Community Benefits are not being evaluated, any Community Benefits offered will be incorporated as contract conditions. Bidders will be required to score a minimum of 60% of the marks allocated to Quality. (SC Ref:766192)",
