Please provide details of up to two contracts to meet conditions of participation relating to technical ability set out in the relevant notice or procurement documents, in any combination from either the public or private sectors (which may include samples of grant-funded work). Where this procurement is for goods or services, the examples must be from the past three years. The named contact provided should be able to provide written evidence to confirm the accuracy of the information provided. For consortium bids, or where you have indicated that you are relying on an associated person to meet the technical ability, you should provide relevant examples of where the associated person has delivered similar requirements. If this is not possible (e.g. the consortium is newly formed or a special purpose vehicle is to be created for this contract) then three separate examples should be provided between the principal member(s) of the proposed consortium or members of the special purpose vehicle or sub-contractors (three examples are not required from each member). If you are a new start-up company and cannot provide at least one example of previous contracts that are relevant to the requirement, in no more than 500 words please provide an explanation for this and how you meet the conditions of participation relating to technical ability. NB a 'new start up company' is defined only as a company that has been trading less than 12 months at the point of tender submission, and/or is unable to provide the minimum number of contract references requested due to limited trading history The submission of alternative evidence does not guarantee acceptance. The Authority reserves the right to assess the overall risk associated with appointing a start‑up organisation and may reject a Tender where it considers that insufficient assurance has been provided
