                    "minimum": "FAIL = Nil or inadequate response which fails to demonstrate previous experience/capacity/capability relevant to this criterion or the response is partially relevant but generally poor with the response showing some elements of relevance to the criterion but contains insufficient/limited detail or explanation to demonstrate previous relevant experience/capacity/capability. PASS = Response is relevant and good. The response is sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a good amount of experience, knowledge or skills/capacity/capability relevant to providing similar works to similar clients. East Dunbartonshire Council will not assess Responses to SPD question 4C.10 as part of the selection criteria but it reserves the right to clarify the percentage stated by a bidder. Failure of a bidder to achieve a PASS against any of the assessed questions will automatically result in its exclusion from the procurement exercise."
