III.1) Conditions for participation

III.1.1) Suitability to pursue the professional activity, including requirements relating to enrolment on professional or trade registers

List and brief description of conditions

In accordance with Regulation 59 (12), as this proposed framework agreement is divided into lots, the technical and professional ability selection criteria apply to all lots except where stated otherwise.

For all lots, all economic operators must hold and maintain the relevant accreditation as listed below:

SPD (Scotland) Questions 4A.1 HSE License (minimum 1-year license type) and waste carriers license.

III.1.2) Economic and financial standing

List and brief description of selection criteria

1.SPD (Scotland) Questions 4B.5.1b and 4B.5.2: Insurance Requirements

2.SPD (Scotland) Question 4B.6: Other Economic & Financial Requirements

In accordance with Regulation 59(12), as this proposed Framework Agreement is divided into Lots, these Economic and Financial Standing selection criteria apply separately in relation to each individual Lot.

Minimum level(s) of standards possibly required

Tenderers must confirm that they already have, or can commit to obtain prior to the commencement of the Framework Contract, the following types and minimum levels of insurance cover on terms compatible with the requirements of the Framework Contract:-

-Employer’s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance – maintain a minimum indemnity limit of GBP 10 million in respect of each claim, and without limit to the number of claims.

-Third Party Liability – to a minimum indemnity limit of 5 million GBP for each and every claim. Where a Tenderer holds an HSE License (minimum 1 year license type) this should not exclude cover for work with asbestos.

-Motor Vehicle Insurance – maintain a minimum indemnity limit of GBP 5 million for Property Damage, and unlimited in respect of Third-Party Injury.

Tenderers must note that these minimum levels of insurance are required to be awarded onto the framework, however, the Councils may request an increase to the minimum level of insurance cover required when awarding a Work Order under the Framework

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY are detailed in the published terms and conditions of contract. FURTHER LIMITATIONS on LIABILITY ARE NOT ACCEPTED.

Tenderers must note that where a call off under the framework incorporates services requiring the design the Council may require Professional Indemnity insurance for the relevant call off. This will not form part of the selection criteria for access to the framework, but where applicable, will be requested at the point of call off. Where a call off incorporates a requirement for Professional Indemnity Insurance this will be conducted using the mini competition award procedure to allow the commercial rates submitted for that call off to reflect additional costs for obtaining and maintaining this insurance.
