Where tenderers are reliant on sub-contractors for the supply of floating plant then a completed SPD should be submitted for the sub-contractor. The contract shall be subject to Scots Law and the jurisdiction of the Scottish Courts. GBP means Great British Pounds. III.1.2 - Economic operators who do not obtain a satisfactory financial evaluation may not be considered for contract award. The UK has left the EU and the transition period after EU came to an end on 31 December 2020.From 1 January 2021, relevant references to the EU and EU procurement legislation will either be updated or removed from the Public Contracts Scotland site where appropriate. This will be an ongoing process. Despite the reference to the EU Directives embedded in the header of the Contract Notice, the EU Directives do not apply to this procurement. III.1.2 - A Bank Reference Mandate Form is included with the procurement documents for completion by economic operators where a Bank Reference is not submitted direct by the economic operator. The Council will carry out an Equifax check where a Bank Reference cannot be obtained and this will form part of the economic and financial evaluation of economic operators. For the avoidance of doubt Tenders are required to submit a completed SPD along with the supporting information required for the Selection Criteria detailed in Section IV . VI.4.1 - Review body. The review body noted is Lerwick Sheriff Court, but Economic Operators should contact the Contracting Authority in the first instance if any issue needs to be addressed. The court may be contacted where legal proceedings are contemplated. Award of contract may be subject to approval of funding. Award of contract may be subject to granting of consents.
