"description": "For SPD question 4B.1 to 4B.4 - Not used For SPD question 4B.5 It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below: Employers Liability Insurance 5,000,000GBP Public Liability Insurance 1,000,000GBP For SPD question 4B.6 - The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. We highly recommend that tenderers review their financial performance on Creditsafe to understand their credit score rating which will be used by the SPCB to evaluate the financial standing of the tenderer and that they read the information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at http://www.creditsafe.com/products/business-credit-reports/ The SPCB requires tenderers to have a Creditsafe Risk Score of 40 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 on Creditsafe and has the backing of a parent company with a credit risk score of 40 or higher, then the provision of a parent company guarantee will be required prior to the award of any contract. If a tenderer has a lower credit risk score than 40 and cannot provide a parent company guarantee, they must submit evidence to support a stable and improved financial standing with their tender or the tender may be rejected. If no evidence is provided with the tender or the evidence provided is not sufficient to demonstrate a satisfactory financial position to the satisfaction of the SPCB (whose decision in this regard shall be final), then the tender will be rejected and will not be evaluated further. If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it will be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out. If the information provided does not, in the SPCB's opinion, demonstrate a satisfactory financial position, the bid may be rejected.",

"description": "SPD question 4C.1 - Not used For SPD question 4C.1.2 - Bidders will be required to provide examples that demonstrate that they have the relevant experience to deliver the services/supplies as described in part II.2.4 of the Contract Notice or the relevant section of the Site Notice. Any submission that does not demonstrate experience in delivering the services will be regarded as a fail and will not be considered further. Please note that weightings have been applied to the subsection of 4C.1.2 as follows: (i) 35% (ii) 20% (iii) 20% (iv) 25%. Scores will be allocated according the following matrix: 0 Unacceptable - Nil or inadequate response. Fails to demonstrate previous experience relevant to this criterion. 1 Poor - Response is partially relevant but generally poor. The response shows some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience. 2 Acceptable - Response is relevant and acceptable. The response demonstrates broad previous experience but lack detail in some aspects. 3 Good - Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of relevant experience. 4 Excellent - Response is completely relevant and excellent overall. The response is comprehensive, unambiguous and demonstrates thorough relevant experience. SPD question 4C.2 - 4C.3 - Not used For SPD question 4C.4 - if bidders intend to use a supply chain to deliver the requirements detailed in the Contract Notice, they should confirm they have (or have access to) the relevant supply chain management and tracking system to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply chain. 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. If the bidder is unable to confirm (b) they must provide an improvement plan, signed by their Director, which improves the payment performance. SPD Question 4C.5 to 4C.6 Not used For SPD Question 4C.7 - Bidders will be required to provide evidence that their organisation has taken steps to build their awareness of the climate change emergency and how they will respond, including knowledge of their emissions sources and actions to address these.

This does not need to contain calculated carbon emissions. Template plans and guidance on how Bidder Climate Change Plans are evaluated is available on the Sustainable Procurement Tools: Sustainable Procurement (sustainableprocurementtools.scot) SPD question 4C.8 to 4C.12 - Not used",
