 The Council will use Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) to assist in its determination of the organisation’s financial status and risk. The Council would expect Tenderers to have a minimum D&B Failure Score of 20, however failure to meet this Failure Score would not necessarily merit a ‘FAIL’ as the D&B Failure Score is only one factor used by the Council in assessing the acceptability or otherwise of a Tenderer’s financial status.
 The Council will take into account the Tenderer’s response to the SPD Part 1V Question 4B.1.1. Further information is contained within the Tender Documents.
 It is recommended that tenderers review their own D&B Failure Score in advance of submitting their tender submission. If, following this review, Tenderers consider that the D&B Failure Score does not reflect their current financial status, the tenderer should attach a document to this section giving a detailed explanation together with any relevant supporting independent evidence. The Council will review any such information as part of the evaluation of Tenderer’s financial status.
 Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a D&B Failure Score or equivalent rating, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their Tender Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a Contract of this size.
 Where a consortium bid is received, the D&B Failure Score of each consortium member shall be assessed. Any accounts or documents submitted must be in English and, if appropriate, certified as accurate translations.
 For Sole Traders please provide submitted Tax Returns for the previous 3 years as part of the Tender Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a Contract of this size.
 Where the Tenderer is a subsidiary of a group but is applying as a separate legal entity and fails to meet the minimum D&B Failure Score (or equivalent) as a company, a parent company or bank guarantee may be required to allow progression in the tender process.
 The Council will be the sole judge as to whether these are required and it shall notify Tenderers accordingly. The parent company or bank guarantee must meet the minimum financial requirements as assessed by the Council and must be in the form requested by the Council.
 Where the Tenderer intends to sub-contract more than 25% of any Contract value to a single sub-contractor then the foregoing actions will apply similarly to the relevant sub-contractor(s). The Council also reserves the right to reject the use of sub-contractors following evaluation of the sub-contractor’s financial status.

NatureScot Peatland ACTION requires help in reviewing existing and exploring different delivery models for accelerating peatland restoration in Scotland – both the design, delivering and management stages of the restoration works. We would like to undertake a preliminary appraisal of options – both current and potentially new - in terms of delivery potential and best value. It is expected that this new work will build on the initial recommendations in the Peatland Commission (appendix 1 of SoR) and involve:
 a) Reviewing Peatland ACTION’s current approach to delivery, drawing out:
 b) Identifying other delivery options.
 c) Preparing a report, with prioritised recommendations, on the options to optimise the delivery of peatland restoration in order to meet the Scottish Government targets.
 Further details in the SoR.. The contract is less than GBP 50,000 so is not considered a 'regulated procurement' as set out in the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. It is being advertised to reach a wider potential field of candidates. Full details are set out in the attached SoR. Bidders are asked to ensure they allow sufficient time to upload their tender documents by the stated deadline of 9:00 hours on 9/02/2023

 Tenders are asked to provide their company number within the ESPD to allow the Authority to access a
 Credit Safe Report.

This framework will promote a safe systems approach, by integrating development management and road safety services, and by providing specific advice and support for road safety policy and delivery. The framework is to be expanded from its current scope to support active travel delivery on the Trunk Road Network, and to further support the Scottish Government's Sustainable Transport and Net Zero policy, as well as taking cognizance of the emerging National Planning Framework 4.
 The proposed framework will be in place for a period of 3 years with the possibility of a 1 year extension period.
 The Scottish Government's Model Service Framework Agreement will be used to award the Framework, and Call Off Contracts will use the Scottish Government's Conditions of Contract.
 The Framework's Contractors will be procured in accordance with the Restricted procedure as stated in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
 Transport Scotland will manage the proposed procurement process on behalf of the Scottish Ministers. In the event of the Framework award, the Contract will be entered into between the Scottish Ministers and the successful Contractors.
