- Economic & financial standing
There is no minimum turnover requirement set for this framework, however LHC will conduct a financial assessment. This assessment will allow LHC to carry out a robust assessment of a Bidders' financial standing.
The assessment will have 2 stages:
- Credit score - LHC will use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders' financial status.
- Profitability, Stability and Liquidity Assessment - Bidders will be assessed on their financial stability based on a range of financial information obtained from the Bidders annual accounts.
Minimum: Bidders will be required to have the minimum levels of insurance listed below to be considered eligible for this framework. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance: £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance: £5,000,000 Professional Indemnity Insurance: £2,000,000
- Price carries 30 points on every lot: a 10% discount moves about 3 points.
- “Consultancy Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 7 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
