SPT will use Dun and Bradstreet's DBAi financial reporting system to assess the financial stability of bidders. Bidders with a Failure Score of 51 or above on the DBAi system will be deemed to have evidenced satisfactory financial stability.
In the event that the bidder does not have a Dun and Bradstreet rating or they consider that the rating has been adversely affected by factors which they can offer mitigating evidence for, SPT will use the following ratios to evaluate a bidder’s financial status.
Minimum: Bidders choosing not to provide a DBAi rating must confirm within their response to Question 4B.4, the value of the 3 financial ratios listed below as taken from their own most recent Accounts. 1 Profitability – this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority … - Technical & professional ability
The bidder is required to provide two examples of where they have put in place a retail network for a new client, specifically within the West of Scotland.
Minimum: The examples given must be of a similar size and preferably nature of this specific requirement, and demonstrate retail network coverage across the Zones as defined within the Technical Specification.
- Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
