For example, a statement of your organisation's cash flow forecast for the current year and a letter from your bank outlining the current cash and credit position or other alternative means of demonstrating financial standing.

- Price carries 10 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 1 point. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Construction Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 30 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.

As part of this tender process therefore, details provided in the tender (appendix V) by all bidders will be passed to Police Scotland to be verified. East Lothian Council (ELC) understand the importance of a strong local economy and therefore require that main contractors awarded ELC contracts consider engaging local sub-contractors where possible.
