  • Economic & financial standing

    For the financial stability assessment, LHCs’ financial team will undertake the following process to carry out a robust assessment of a Bidders' financial standing:

    1. Credit score – LHC use Creditsafe to carry out initial checking of a Bidders’ financial status and help inform the subsequent assessments carried out by LHC.
    2. Annual Turnover - Bidders will be assessed based on their average annual turnover for the past 3 years by comparison to the minimum turnover requirements set out in the contract notice and/or tender document documents.
    3. Profitability, Stability and Liquidity Assessment – Bidders will be assessed on their financial stability based on a range of financial information obtained from the Bidders annual accounts.
    Minimum: Bidders will be required to have the following minimum levels of insurance for all lots applied for: >Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5 million >Public Liability Insurance = 5 million GBP >Professional Indemnity = 1 million GBP >Product Liability = 2 million GBP Ful…
  • Technical & professional ability

    Bidders are required to have the following ISO qualifications (or equivalent) or demonstrate compliance with these standards by completing the PAS 91 standard question:

    Health and Safety certification in accordance with ISO 45001 (please refer to ITT for accepted equivalents)

    Environmental Management certification in accordance with ISO 14001 (please refer to ITT for accepted equivalents)

    Quality Management certification in accordance with ISO 9001 (please refer to ITT for accepted equivalents)

    For any additional accreditation requirements, please refer to ITT documents for full details.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Supply and Installation of Aluminium Windows & Doors” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

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