    Questions 4B.1b

    Please complete “Turnover” question in the Qualification Questionnaire in PCS-Tender. This information will be used to assess the Tenderers economic and financial standing and is deemed a minimum standard and is mandatory.

    Please confirm your organisation’s general annual turnover for the last two financial years. The minimum requirement is that your general annual turnover is at least twice the estimated annual contract value (200%/104,000 GBP). Provide supporting evidence such as audited accounts, or certified financial statements. If you don’t have audited accounts or certified financial statements, you can provide:

    • Management accounts signed by a director;
    • Accountant’s certificate;
    • Bank references or other financial evidence.

    Pass = The Tenderer has met the required annual turnover threshold

    Fail = The Tenderer does not have the required annual turnover.

    Please complete “Economic and Financial Standing – Consortia” if the Tenderer is bidding as part of a consortia arrangement. Financial accounts and supporting information is required for each consortia member. This information is mandatory if you are bidding as a consortia. If the Tenderer is not bidding as part of a consortia, then please disregard this question.

  • Technical & professional ability

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 50 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 5 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
  • “Supply and Provision of PPE to Construction Trades, Engineering and…” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.

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