Conditions of participation2
  • Suitability

    Bidders (or their sub-contractor(s) are required to be a current member Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in order to be considered for this contract

  • Economic & financial standing

    Bidders will be required to have a minimum yearly “specific” turnover of 300,000 GBP for the last 2 years in the business area covered by the contract.

    Employer’s (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 10 million GBP

    Public Liability Insurance 5 million GBP

    To establish the financial standing of a Tenderer, the Council will firstly take into account a risk report provided independently by Credit Safe. Within such reports, the risk of business failure is expressed as a score ranging from 1 -100. In the event that a company is determined to have a risk failure rating of below 30 i.e. that the company is considered to have a high risk of business failure, the submission will not be considered further.

    Where you are not registered on credit safe e.g. charitable organisations, new start companies and Sole Traders you are to submit 2 years financial accounts, including Profit & Loss Statement and Balance Sheet for consideration.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 140 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

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