The references should provide a summary of the works undertaken and indicate the client's own satisfaction levels with the quality of service they received.(Pass / Fail) 4C.2 - Bidders will be required to provide details of the pool of staff (call operatives not management staff) that will be available to service the contract in the event of a successful bid. The staff member's core skills, qualifications, accreditations, experience and competency should be provided (Pass / Fail) 4C.6.1 - Bidders will be required to provide details of the relevant educational and professional qualifications held by its managerial staff.

A separate SPD (fully completed) for each named subcontractor must be completed and submitted with your response.
