Conditions of participation1

    SPD.4B.4: Bidders must comply with the undernoted financial requirements in order to participate in the tendering process:-

    There is a minimum financial requirement that affects trading performance, balance sheet strength and current liquidity.

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