Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information
TENDERERS PLEASE NOTE: Police Scotland identified a number of business areas which have a high risk of infiltration by Serious and Organised Crime groups; this Framework belongs to one such area and as such the Authority reserves the right to include enhanced probity checks prior to any contract award, including sharing tenderer information with Police Scotland.
The tender pack includes a schedule for the Declaration of non-involvement in serious organised crime; this is a mandatory tender submission requirement for all tenderers.
One company to be appointed to each lot – six companies in total. Tenderers bidding for multiple lots will be required to rank their lot preference across the lots they bid for. There is a section built into PCS-T within the Technical envelope where bidders will indicate their preference in the event that a tenderer is ranked one in multiple lots.
Lot 5 not awarded.
