As part of the tendering process, organisations interested in a tender are invited to participate in a market loyalty questionnaire, which will provide information on the evolution of the contracting framework for this work. Glasgow City Council (“Council”) must inform all bidders and candidates in writing as soon as possible of its decision to award, conclude the framework agreement or implement a dynamic acquisition system. The Commission must have a minimum status quo period (if the notice is faxed or electronically sent) from 10 days to midnight at the end of the 10th the day after the last notification is sent until another 15-day period, if it is 15 days by other means, between the date of the notification referred to as a regulation (EC) 85 , paragraph 1 of the Public Procurement Regulation (Scotland) 2015 (“Regulations “). The Commission is required to comply with the rules and any licensed economic operator may bring an action before the Sherriff Court or the Court of Justice if it suffers or is at risk of loss or injury as a result of a Commission violation. The initiation of legal proceedings during the status quo period means that the Commission cannot conclude the contract, conclude the framework agreement or implement the dynamic acquisition system, unless the procedure is decided, abandoned or surrendered: or if the court terminates the prohibition by way of reference. The opening of legal proceedings at the end of the status quo period and the remedies available to the courts are listed in the regulations. Operators may request in writing the Commission to provide further details on the communication to which the Commission must respond within 15 days. Economic operators should ensure that they obtain their own independent legal advice if they deem it appropriate. Councillor Susan Aitken, Chair of the City of Glasgow Council and Chair of the Glasgow City Office, said: “These contracts are for work that will transform the Glasgow areas and bring economic, environmental and social benefits to the city.
I want to encourage businesses and organizations, including local ones of all sizes, who think they can do this work to express their interest. Immediate payment: The successful bidder must demonstrate, as a precondition for the commission`s approval of the offer, that all funds owed to the bidder`s licensed subcontractors for this work are paid on time and that the minimum invoices of the subcontractors (unless the bidder has been formally complained) are paid within 30 days of receipt. This condition is also imposed by the successful bidder on its subcontractors for payments that can be paid to subcontractors. Applicants must complete the payment certificate. Both the definition of the framework and other mini-competitions outside this framework are organised via the Public Contracts Scotland portal. A framework for the procurement process is being developed, which is expected to take place at the end of 2018 with the allocation of suppliers for this framework. Further concrete contracting opportunities will begin in early 2019 and continue for a period of four years. Freedom of Information Act: Information about the BFI Act is contained in ItT Schedule A.
