  • Suitability

    Tenderers must satisfy themselves, prior to submission of their Tender, that the following certificates are available as appropriate in relation to the work, goods and materials offered:-

    certificates of conformity with quality management schemes;

    certificates of conformity with product certification schemes (where the product is not marked);

  • Economic & financial standing

    The Council will utilise Equifax Score check to assess the Economic and financial standing of organisations bidding for contracts. Tenderers (including all participants in a group) are required to have a Score check Score of 35 or above in order to demonstrate their financial strength and stability.

    It is recommended that Tenderers review their own Score check score in advance of submitting a Tender Submission. Where the Tenderer does not have a Score check score, or where the Tenderer does not consider that the Score check score reflects their current financial status; the Tenderer may give an explanation within the Tender Submission, together with any relevant supporting alternative evidence which demonstrates its financial strength/stability.

    Where the Tenderer is under no obligation to publish accounts and therefore does not have a Score check score, they must provide their audited financial accounts for the previous 2 years as part of their SPD Submission in order that the Council may assess these to determine the suitability of the Tenderer to undertake a contract of this size.

    As an alternative to the above requirement but only for bidders who started trading less than 3 years prior to the return date for the Tender response set out below, those bidders must demonstrate adequate financial capacity for the Contract by the following evidence:

    A business plan for a minimum 3-year trading period setting out projected annual average turnover;

    audited or unaudited (if the co…

    Minimum: The Bidder confirms they already have or can commit to obtain, prior to the commencement of the contract, the levels of insurance cover indicated in the relevant Contract Notice. The minimum limit of indemnity for insurance in respect of loss of or damage to property (except the …

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