"description": "Each Tenderer must complete and submit along with their tender the Single Procurement Document (Scotland) (SPD). The SPD sets Minimum Standards that tenderers must achieve. Within each submitted SPD response, Tenderers should note the following selection criteria: 1. That they hold full ISO27001 accreditation.

Professional Indemnity Insurance (GBP 5 million) c. Public Liability Insurance (GBP 10 million) 3. If the tenderer relies on the service of a third-party supplier(s) to complete the delivery of this contract, any such supplier(s) must separately complete the SPD. This completed SPD must be submitted along with the tenderer's tender submission. 4. As noted in Tender Schedule 1, Note 11 short listed tenderers will also be required to complete: a. SRUC's Vendor Due Diligence DPIA Questionnaire; b. SRUC's Supplier Assurance Questionnaire - High Risk Profile.
