Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process initiated by Dundee City Council involves the provision of a framework for supply, delivery, and installation of scaffolding across different locations in Dundee, United Kingdom. This tender falls under the industry category of scaffolding works and is currently in the award stage, having completed the tender process. The key procurement method used was an open procedure, ensuring a wide range of suppliers could participate. Important dates to note include the award date of 13th June 2025, with contracts already signed for both scaffolding towers and full elevation scaffolding on 29th May 2025. The framework consists of active agreements valued at £1,200,000 for scaffolding towers and £2,200,000 for full elevation scaffolding, with supply by notable suppliers such as Mar Scaffolding (Scotland) Limited and Lyndon SGB among others.

This procurement offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in scaffolding services.

Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their financial strength and stability. It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability. Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD response in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size. As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence: A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover; audited or unaudited (if the company has no legal audit requirement) accounts for any years trading to date, and letter of support for the bidder's bank setting out the level of financial support available to the business from the bank and for how long that is available. A bank letter of support should explain the amount and duration of financial support made available to the business by the bank and what information, such as a business plan for the period 01/04/2024 - 31/03/2027, was considered by the bank in deciding to make that support available. These are matters of fact not opinion so should be able to be given by any bank on the authority of their customer. It must be understood, however, that the sufficiency or otherwise of the bank letter can only be judged after submission and assessment of all Questionnaire responses so the provision of as much information as possible is encouraged. All of this information must be in terms entirely satisfactory to the Purchasing Authority. We reserve the right (but are not obliged) to seek additional clarification and/or supporting information from or about the bidder to satisfy us in this regard, for example, a bank reference. Where a Tenderer does not meet the minimum financial requirements in its own right and wishes to rely on the financial standing of a parent company, Tenderers should provide a statement that they commit to obtaining a parent company guarantee in the form attached in the Standard Documents Parent Company Guarantee. Where a consortium bid is received, the Score check score of each consortium member shall be assessed and each must achieve a Score check score of 35 or above. Where a sub-contractor material to the performance of the Contract or where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any contract value to a single sub-contractor, the Tenderer may be required to confirm that the sub-contractor(s) has a Score check score of 35 or above The Council reserves the right to request one copy of all sub-contractor last 3 financial years' audited accounts and details of significant changes since the last financial year end.",
