Financial viability of each organisation by assessing recent trends in profitability and a return on assets; long-term solvency and stability; and short-term solvency and liquidity. The assessment may include information provided by an independent expert credit reference agency such as Dun & Bradstreet and financial statements from Companies House. Accounts and financial information will be examined by suitably experienced and qualified people who will make the recommendation as to the financial status of the tenderer. Tenderers will be assessed against the following criteria:
Low Risk - No or minor concerns identified - Pass
Medium Risk - Some concerns identified - Pass
High Risk - Major financial risks identified where a tenderer shows little sign of current financial stability or improvement, and leading to concerns that the tenderer may not complete the contract because of financial difficulties - Fail
- Technical & professional ability
Mandatory qualifications or memberships;
Lot 1 - PAS2030, Trustmark, Microgeneration Certification Scheme (“MCS”) for Heat Pumps, Microgeneration Certification Scheme (“MCS”) for Solar Photovoltaic Systems, Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) – Solar Thermal
Lot 2 - PAS2038 (or evidence of working towards accreditation), Microgeneration Certification Scheme (“MCS”) for Heat Pumps, Microgeneration Certification Scheme (“MCS”) for Solar Photovoltaic Systems, Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) – Solar Thermal
Bidders should have suitable experience of undertaking works of a similar nature which should be evidenced within the responses to the technical questions.
Bidders are not required to provide details of past contracts or references as part of the selection stage or as part of the conditions of participation
- Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
- “Fusion21 Decarbonisation Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 15 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
