  • Economic & financial standing

    We will evaluate organisation’s economic and financial standing based on their current assets and current liabilities in relation to their audited published accounts for the last two years and divide the current assets by the current. Tenderers are expected to achieve a ratio of 1 or more. Where a Tenderer does not meet this requirement, further details should be provided to confirm why, and the Council may undertake additional financial checks using a tool such as Creditsafe and a qualitative judgement shall be made as to the financial capacity of the tenderer

    All insurance certifications must be in place prior to commencement of the contract, with the appropriate levels of insurance as per the Contract Notice.

  • Technical & professional ability

    We will evaluate organisation’s experience and capability relative to what we intend to buy, in particular:

    Achieving the same or similar outcomes

    3 examples in the last 5 years must be provided (At least one example must be in a Local Authority scenario). Notes of key importance here is the relevance of each of the examples given to the services required. Details should include Client, value and a full description of the work involved. This is not an exhaustive list.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Framework for Internal & External Painting and Decorating” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
