o Current ratio for Current Year: 1.15
o Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.15
The formula for calculating a Tenderer’s current ratio is current assets divided by current liabilities. The acceptable range for each financial ratio is greater than 1.15.

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