Occupational Health Services

The provision of Occupational Health Services.

SRUC is currently reviewing its Occupational Health provision to ensure that it is obtaining the best value for money, whilst at the same time providing a fit for purpose individualised service.

Given SRUC’s geographically dispersed locations, SRUC is seeking responses only from organisations which can provide an on-site occupational health service, as when required, throughout Scotland.

Quality Management Procedures - The bidder must hold a UKAS (or equivalent) accredited independent third party certificate of compliance in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001 (or equivalent),

OR

A documented policy regarding quality management. The policy must set out responsibilities for quality management demonstrating that the bidder has, and continues to implement, a quality management policy that is authorised by their Chief Executive, or equivalent, which is periodically reviewed at a senior management level.

The evaluation criteria will include emphasis on quality as well as price. Each Tender will be subject to a Technical, Commercial and Financial Analysis. The aim of the evaluation is to select the Tender(s) which represent(s) the most economically advantageous Tender. The Technical Analysis will ensure that Tenderers have met the minimum criteria set down in the Statement of Requirement and Tender Schedules.

To achieve this, the following tender rating system will be used:

Guide to Marks

10 Excellent response demonstrating clear understanding and comprehensive ability to fulfil requirements, outlining added value, innovation and is equal to or improves on the specification.

7 Good response providing clear evidence of understanding and compliance and may evidence some elements of innovation.

5 Average response providing some indication of understanding and compliance.

3 Minimal or poor response providing little evidence of understanding or compliance.

0 Nil or inadequate response with little or no understanding of requirement or evidence of compliance.

The Criteria for shortlisting/award of Contract will be based on the Tenderer’s relevant previous experience, technical/professional ability, economic and financial standing and the supplementary information requested. The Tender will be evaluated on a 60:40, quality:price basis.

Pricing: The following scoring system will be used to evaluate Tender responses:

The lowest sustainable bid will be scored at 100%. Any bid that is deemed to be financially unsustainable in the opinion of SRUC will not be scored.

Bids that are higher than the lowest sustainable bid will be scored on the basis of a 1% reduction for every 1% they are higher than the lowest sustainable bid.

The financial scores will then be multiplied by the 40% weighting to give the final financial percentage for evaluation.

Example: lowest sustainable bid 1000

Bid Price Score Weighting Final financial percentage

A 800 0% X40% 0%

B 1000 100% X40% 40%

C 1200 80% X40% 32%

D 1500 50% X40% 20%

Bidders should note the maximum word count for each section, if indicated.
