    Tenderers are required to have a minimum “general” annual turnover of GBP320,000 for the last two financial years. Where a Tenderer does not have an annual turnover of this value, the Council may exclude the Tenderer from the competition or may apply discretion seeking supporting evidence to determine the Tenderer’s suitability to proceed in the competition.

    Tenderers will be required provide the following information:

    Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10

    Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10

    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 1.10.

    Tenderers are required to hold, or commit to obtaining prior to the commencement of any subsequently awarded contract, the types and levels of insurance indicated below:

    a. Employers (Compulsory) Liability Insurance - GBP5m

    b. Public Liability Insurance - GBP10m

    c. Professional Indemnity - GBP5m

    Minimum: Tenderers are required to have a minimum “general” annual turnover of GBP320,000 for the last two financial years. Tenderers will be required to meet the following minimum financial ratio: Current ratio for Current Year: 1.10 Current ratio for Prior Year: 1.10 Tenderers are requi…
What this means for your bid

  • “ECO Stars Technical Management Support – Framework Agreement” 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.
