Extended Description

This lot will be used to procure transport related ‘service contracts’ operated by taxi vehicles with up to 8 seats.

Operators may join the DPS at any point its validity if they satisfy the selection criteria and none of the grounds for exclusion apply.

Under the DPS, contracts awarded will be subject to a tendering process (mini-competition) with all operators who have been admitted to the DPS being invited to tender. Contract awards may arise from the combination of more than 1 competition and the contracting authority will seek to match offers which give the most economically advantageous result.

ESPD Question: Part 2D — Subcontracting: bidders will be required to confirm whether they intend to subcontract and, if so, for what proportion of the contract to be called-off under the proposed DPS.

If you intend to subcontract any share of the contract to third parties on whose capacity you rely on to satisfy the selection criteria, you must secure that each subcontractor completes a separate ESPD (Scotland) response.
