    "description": "Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58(1) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The ratio for this procurement exercise is Technical 65% and Commercial 35%. Detail on this award criteria can be found in Section 3 of the ITT. Tenderers will be asked to complete the following forms in the Technical Questionnaire in PCS-Tender: Form of Tender; Bona Fide Tender; Freedom of Information; Supply Chain Code of Conduct; and General Code of Safety Rules. Please note that these forms are for information only and will not be scored. The successful Contractor must confirm they comply with Modern Slavery Act 2015. Where the capability & capacity of a subcontractor, members of a consortia or any other body will be relied on to meet the selection criteria, a separate SPD is required from each of those other parties relied on. Where subcontractors are to be used but their capability & capacity are not relied on, the University may choose to request a separate SPD. Bidders are not required to produce supporting documentary evidence at the time of submitting the SPD. However, where it is necessary to ensure the integrity and proper conduct of the procurement process, the University can request the evidence any time during the procurement process, all or part of the supporting documents from bidders. It is a discretionary ground for exclusion for a bidder not to be able to provide the SPD supporting documents, or to withhold or misrepresent such information. More details on this can be found in the exclusion stage. There must be no qualification or contra-indication from any evidence provided in support of the Contractor's economic and financial standing. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 32480.
