"description": "Part 4C: Technical and Professional Ability - Prompt Payment It is a mandatory requirement of this Framework that a prompt payment clause is present in all Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request or as contractually scheduled. Bidders should confirm that this condition will be met within the response to this question. Part 4C: Environmental Management Measures Bidders will be required to provide evidence that their organisation has taken steps to build their awareness of the climate change emergency and how they will respond. Accepted evidence includes but is not limited to: A completed copy of \"Schedule 6- Climate Change\" including planned projects and actions to reduce the bidder's carbon emissions. This does not need to contain calculated carbon emissions. Please note Schedule 6- Climate Change is supplied as an individual document for completion. Where a Tenderer's response is of a less than the acceptable standard, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer's suitability to proceed in the competition. Part 4D: Quality Assurance Schemes It is a mandatory requirement that Tendering Organisations with more than 5 employees have in place a Health & Safety Policy which is approved at a senior level within the Organisation and is reviewed regularly. Bidders should confirm that this condition has been met within the response to this question. Where a Bidder does not have a Health & Safety Policy and is required to do so, the Council may exclude the Bidder from the competition. It is a mandatory requirement of this Framework that the Contractor or any proposed sub-contractor will utilise vehicles used on the service must be of low-floor vehicles, fully accessible specification, in accordance with The Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000 in the operation of any contract procured under this Framework."
