Police Scotland are seeking a provider who can work in collaboration with the Authority to provide a pro-active suite of training courses, but also be responsive to need, working with the Authority to identify relevant training opportunities for Finance Staff. Training should include as a baseline: - tax training - payroll training - business partner training - CPD for CIPFA However, the requirements for financial training are varied and providers should be able to deliver a full suite of relevant training, and provide a course catalogue to allow for the creation of a training calendar. In addition, personalised training based on the needs of Finance Colleagues should also be available. Training should be delivered by suitably qualified trainers, who hold relevant registrations / memberships if required. It is anticipated the majority of training will be delivered virtually, however, based on need, there may be ad hoc requirements for Face-to-Face training. Providers should be aware, Police Scotland covers the entirety of Scotland.",

Tenders are asked to provide their company number within the SPD to allow the Authority to access a Credit Safe Report. Insurance: Tenderers are required to hold, or commit to obtaining prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below. Where a Tenderer does not hold or commit to obtaining the types and levels of insurance indicated, the SPA will exclude the Tenderer from the competition",

In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of below 30 i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further. If you are successful in the award of this contract and your risk failure rating falls below 30 then the SPA reserve the right to remove you from this contract. It is the Contractor's responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date. For the avoidance of doubt, the SPA will request a report from Credit Safe following the closing date for the receipt of the Tenders to ensure that the most up to date information is used. Where you are not registered on credit safe e.g. charitable organisations or new start companies/ Sole Traders with less than 3 years trading history, discretionary powers are available to the Director of Finance to consider abbreviated accounts along with bankers references etc. Tenderers should be aware that any outstanding County Court Judgements will have a detrimental effect on the rating held by Credit Safe and it is your responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date - failure to do so will result in rejection of your submission. IMPORTANT NOTE: This requirement is not applicable to Sole Traders/ Charities. Sole Traders/ Charities may be required to provide a bankers reference if successful. Insurance Requirements: a. Public Liability Insurance - 5,000,000 GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to provide a copy of their current Public Liability Insurance certificate. b. Professional Indemnity Insurance - 5,000,000 GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to provide a copy of their current Professional Indemnity Insurance certificate. c. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance - 10,000,000 GBP in respect of each claim without limit to the number of claims. Tenderers may be required to provide their current Employers Liability Insurance certificate which should include name of the insurers, policy numbers, expiry date and limits for any one incident and annual aggregate caps and the excesses under the policies."
