Statement for 4B.5.1-3:
It is a requirement of this contract that bidders hold or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of any subsequent awarded contract the type of insurance indicated below:
Employer’s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5 000 000 GBP
Public Indemnity Insurance = 2 000 000 GBP
Statement for 4.B.6
The Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body (SPCB) uses Creditsafe, an independent provider of online business credit reports, to assess the financial standing of tenderers. Tenderers are encouraged to review their financial performance on Creditsafe and read information about how that data is collected and used prior to submitting a tender. Information and the opportunity to run a free report can be found at: http://www.creditsafe.com/products/business-credit-reports/
If a tenderer does not agree with the credit rating it has been given by Creditsafe it can provide supporting evidence to demonstrate its current position and this will be taken into account when the financial standing is being assessed.
If a tenderer is not listed on Creditsafe, for whatever reason, then it may be asked to submit equivalent accounts to enable the required assessment of financial standing to be carried out.
Tenderers should have a Creditsafe credit rating of 30 or higher to demonstrate satisfactory financial standing. If a tenderer has a lower credit rating score and no evidence to support a stable or improved financial standing then the tender may be rejected.
