Description
Part 4C: Technical and Professional Ability – Prompt Payment It is a mandatory requirement of this Contract that a prompt payment clause is present in all Contracts used in the delivery of the requirements. This ensures payment of sub-contractors at all stages of the supply chain within 30 days and includes an obligation to provide a point of contact for sub-contractors to refer to in the case of payment difficulties. This will require active monitoring of payment performance as well as the provision of evidence and reports to the Council on request or as contractually scheduled. Bidders should confirm that this condition will be met within the response to this question. Part 4C: Technical and Professional Ability – Living Wage Payment Tenderers are asked to confirm that they will pay staff that are involved in the delivery of the Contract, (including any agency or sub-contractor staff) directly involved in the delivery of the Contract, at least the real Living Wage. Part 4C: Environmental Management Measures Bidders will be required to provide evidence that their organisation has taken steps to build their awareness of the climate change emergency and how they will respond. Accepted evidence includes but is not limited to: A completed copy of “Schedule 4- Climate Change Plan” including planned projects and actions to reduce the bidder’s carbon emissions. This does not need to contain calculated carbon emissions. Please note this document is supplied as an individual document for completion. Where a Tenderer’s response is of a less than the acceptable standard, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition. Par 4C.12 Technical specifications The operating maintenance model needs to optimise the circular economy approach, utilising a system of refurbishing and reusing components to minimise environmental impact and deliver an "evergreen" product. Part 4D: Quality Assurance Schemes It is a mandatory requirement that Tendering Organisations with more than 5 employees have in place a Health & Safety Policy which is approved at a senior level within the Organisation and is reviewed regularly. Bidders should confirm that this condition has been met within the response to this question. Where a Bidder does not have a Health & Safety Policy and is required to do so, the Council may exclude the Bidder from the competition. It is a mandatory requirement that Tendering Organisations have in place a Business Continuity Policy which is approved at a senior level within the Organisation and is reviewed regularly. Bidders should confirm that this condition has been met within the response to this question. Where a Bidder does not have a satisfactory Business Continuity Policy, the Council may exclude the Bidder from the competition or require amendments to the policy to be made.
