Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** 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. The buyer is using PCS-Tender to conduct this ITT exercise. The Project code is 19333.
