Bidders must self-certify their adherence to the conditions of participation via the SPD (Scotland) in PCS-T. Bidders must refer to the specific requirements listed in the Section III in this Contract Notice when completing the SPD in PCS-T. Bidders should note that these are mandatory pass/fail requirements and that failure to provide adequate evidence on request of how these requirements shall be met will result in automatic exclusion from the Tendering process.
 Each Bidder passing the Minimum Standards will then be subject to a technical and commercial evaluation.
 A 50% technical threshold will apply - bids will be required to achieve a minimum total overall technical score of 35% or more out of the maximum of 70%. A Bidder who fails to achieve the technical threshold will be excluded from the commercial tender evaluation and shall take no further part in the tender evaluation process.
 Commercial scores shall be allocated on a comparative basis with the lowest overall price receiving full marks and others a percentage of that mark according to the difference between their bid and the lowest offer. Where we consider any of the total price(s) you have submitted to be abnormally low we will ask you to explain the price(s) you have submitted (as required in regulation 69 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015).
 The quality and commercial score will be combined to give each Bidder, who has passed the technical threshold, an overall total score. The supplier with the highest total score will be deemed to have provided the most economical advantageous tender (MEAT).. The tendered value was above the anticipated value and threshold. Market engagement informed the value being below threshold, however in hindsight, this was above the threshold.
