Tenders are asked to provide their company\nnumber within the SPD to allow the Authority to access a Credit Safe Report. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed\nas a score of 30 or below (high risk of business failure). In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of 30 and\nbelow i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further. If you are\nsuccessful in the award of this contract and your risk failure rating falls below 30then the SPA reserve the right to remove you from this\ncontract. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date. For the avoidance\nof doubt, the SPA will request a report from Credit Safe following the closing date for the receipt of the Tenders to ensure that the most up\nto date information is used. Where you are not registered on Credit Safe e.g. charitable organisations or new start companies/ Sole Traders\nwith less than 3 years trading history, discretionary powers are available to the Director of Finance to consider abbreviated accounts along\nwith bankers references etc.\nTenderers should be aware that any outstanding County Court Judgements will have a detrimental effect on the rating held by Credit Safe\nand it is your responsibility to ensure that the information held by Credit Safe is accurate and up to date - failure to do so will result in\nrejection of your submission.\nIMPORTANT NOTE: This requirement is not applicable to Sole Traders/ Charities. Sole Traders/ Charities may be required to provide a\nbankers reference if successful."
